Who shares an ice cream recipe in the dead of winter? This girl! Because I was craving baklava like nobody’s business but since I’m still crazy intimidated by making actual baklava, I just put my favorite pistachio baklava flavors into ice cream (yes, I know it’s insane to be scared of making baklava but not ice cream) and…

Sweet And Salty Blueberry Popcorn
After watching five whole (brilliant) seasons of Friday Night Lights I should probably be a football expert but, guys, let’s be real: I was only in it for the life coaching (Coach and Tami Taylor, right, y’all?).

Brazilian Banana Coconut Popsicles
Lately I’ve been craving Brazilian BBQ like nobody’s business–but not for the reason you would think (that perfect garlic sirloin, AKA paradise). Forget the meat, I want plate after plate of those dreamy fried bananas tossed in cinnamon sugar! But since it’s 9 billion degrees, I decided to cool them down quite a bit, which…
No Bake Berry White Chocolate Cheesecake Cups

Cuban Pork Roast
For Spring Break, Warren was supposed to go to Cuba for work while I stayed home mourning (i.e., snuggling with sweet Felix while his pops wandered through sugar cane fields) but plans fell through and I had to instead soothe Warren’s mourning soul with a big batch of our newest favorite taco meat–Cuban Pork Roast! Eating this was basically like our whole…
