#VacayEveryDay with Palm Breeze

While I was compensated by POPSUGAR to write a post about Palm Breeze, all opinions are my own.   Please Drink Responsibly The temperatures are rising here in South Texas and I can’t think of anything I would rather do than to hit the road with my girlfriends on a fabulous road trip. The top down, wind in our hair, hitting our favorite beach, taco trucks and taking in some heavy duty shopping – FUN! The thing is my gals have become extremely busy with their bustling… Read More

Easy Mexican Pizza

Quicker than waiting for the delivery guy these pizzas are perfect for game night, movie night or even a quick Saturday lunch. My easy Mexican pizza have become a family favorite. Crispy flour tortillas are topped with refried beans, ground beef, shredded lettuce, tomatoes and plenty of cheese. My kiddos love to top them with beans and cheese, place them back in the oven for a gooey-cheesy delight. Instead of ordering pizza why not make your own at home with a little help from Old El Paso. YUM! Sweet Life Disclosure: This is a sponsored post with Old El Paso…. Read More

Guava Gin Fizz

Sweet Life Disclosure: This is a sponsored post with Perrier. Thank you for supporting the companies Sweet Life collaborates with which allows me to create fun and unique recipes. A gin fizz is a sour-based cocktail with the addition of sparkling water and lemon juice.  A gin fizz is a great cocktail to have up your sleeve for summer entertaining. It is fresh, light, refreshing and features gin, which is always a hit.  The classic gin fizz features fresh lemon juice with sugar or a simple syrup.  I prefer to use lime juice and make a fruit based simple syrup… Read More

Dulce de Leche Ice Cream in Piloncillo Tortilla Cups

This easy recipe for homemade dulce de leche ice cream is made with milk, heavy cream and store bought dulce de leche. Creamy, dreamy this ice cream is a snap to make and taste like it took hours to make.  I like to make a triple batch and store it snuggled between the frozen veggies in my freezer. No one seems to look there for frozen treats. Wonderful to serve for a fiesta or great for a ice cream bar I like to serve it with a handful of finely diced pecans for a bit of crunch. When Old El Paso… Read More

Mango Chile Mint Julep

Are you ready for the Kentucky Derby?  On May 2nd nearly 12,000 will flock to this sporting event to enjoy the race.  The derby is as much about fashion and sipping mint juleps as it its horse racing. When Maker’s mark reach out and asked me to create a spin on the original mint julep I quickly replied, YES!  I adore bourbon cocktails so this JulepOff challenge was the perfect excuse to create a new twist on a classic cocktail, plus the thought of spending a day sipping on mint juleps made me giddy. My first thought was to use… Read More
