Am I the only one with a kid who has a runny nose already? From the state of my little one's classroom, the answer is no, I am not. Cold and flu season has arrived, but is hasn't yet taken hold. It's time to take preventative measures an…
We know you love coffee, so we thought long and hard about what to give you for National Coffee Day today. We've already shared our favorite iced coffee recipes and coffee recipes from around the world . We've made it easy to make your o…
Every day is National Coffee Day for some of us, which means that every day is also Wow, I Need Something to Put All This Coffee In Day. We've rounded up some of our favorite funny coffee mugs that might make you smile when there's basic…
I'm big into fresh pressed juice and even love whipping up fresh juice recipes for kids . It's too bad, though, that fresh juice is off limits during pregnancy when extra nutrients are always welcome, especially in a convenient sip that …
Back when I shared new trends for back to school snacks I promised to only pass along food and drink trends that stand the test of some time. I have watched new tea drinks and tea-flavored foods hit the market nearly every week since I s…
I heard rumblings about hot buttered coffee, also known as Bulletproof Coffee, last year, and ignored what I figured was another crazy food trend. I mean, butter in coffee? If that doesn't scream the new bacon , I don't know what does. I…
If you're like us and celebrating the unofficial end of summer and the start of school (whoo!) with some food and fun today, we rounded up a bunch of our favorite recipes that you can still whip up in time for your party or barbecue . He…
I'm a sucker for new food trends, but I usually wait to see what sticks--and what I really like, of course--before spreading the word. Let's face it, not every new food product is worth reporting (looking at you, green ketchup). Sometime…
Now that we're heading back to school, even with hectic mornings, I'd still like some healthy fruits and veggies to keep my kids alert, focused and energized while they're in class. One of my favorite ways to sneak those dark leafy green…
My son would drink juice all day long if I'd let him. I obviously don't, because wow, there's a lot of sugar in juice, but I know he wants something tastier than water all day long. So this week we've been trying out the Define fruit-inf…
Everyone may be talking back-to-school , but summer's not over. In fact, I'll be drinking iced coffee well into September, which gives me about two more months (at least) of cold brew coffee pleasure before I switch back to hot java. Wit…
As much as we love margaritas , mojitos and skinny cocktail recipes , sometimes summer calls for a glass of wine. Not just any glass of wine, but a refreshing, chilled, fruit-filled glass of wine, better known as sangria. Check out these…
I grew up in New Jersey, where hanging in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven slipping on a Slurpee was, like, totally cool. So, yeah, I come by my love of slushies honestly, and now that I'm legally of age, I can drink boozy versions too. In …
At the end of these long summer days at the pool and kids being bored and me trying to cram work in whenever I can, I'd love to kick back in front of the TV or with friends and sip a cold, delicious drink--umbrella optional. My favorite …
If you're pining for more Game of Thrones like I am (can't it just run every week for forever?) at least now there's a way to drown your sorrows with the Wines of Westeros . Created as a fan project by Australian ad agency agency Common …
There are different levels of coffee geekery, from grocery store grounds to K-cup fans, to the Starbucks obsessed to my beloved Chemex and the luxurious, gourmet, single-origin beans to which I owe much of my sanity and creative output. …
UPDATE AUGUST 20, 2015 : So, it's been a year now that I've been using Mastrad's Purefizz Soda Maker and suddenly...it just wasn't working. Ugh. Like, the cap wasn't fitting correctly and required (i.e. wasted) sometimes 4-5 CO2 chargers…
By now it's no surprise that we're huge fans of MOUTH , a rocking online indie food marketplace where you can get anything from an edible gold chocolate Jesus to a gourmet food subscription filled with artisanal goodies like pickles or c…
I love a good glass of wine any time of the year, but especially during the summer months. There's something about sipping a good rosé on a picnic or starting dinner with an effervescent, chilled dry Lambrusco that brings out the wine lo…
I more than love my single-origin coffee. You could say we're involved. But it can be hard to find delicious, high-quality beans that aren't shipped out on someone else's schedule as part of a curated monthly subscription . Sometimes, I …
Our neighborhood pool has a strict no-glass policy, which is why I’m excited about the portable wine bags from Wine2Go. I get that glass, concrete and bare feet are a dangerous mix, but relaxing by a moonlit pool after a long day while m…
They say that to take care of anyone else, you first need to take care of yourself . This year I'll prepare to show our planet Earth Day love by first showing myself some love with one (maybe two?) of these eco-cocktails made with organi…
I'm a huge fan of handmade gifts, but rarely have the time or the patience to actually make anything myself. But when I saw these DIY polaroid photo tea bags on Photojojo (love them), I knew I had hit the jackpot for DIY Valentine's Day …
What I want for Valentine’s Day: LOVE! What my kids want for Valentine’s Day: CHOCOLATE! Okay, I want chocolate, too, but I like fancy chocolate . For the kids, I’ll be whipping up one of these super easy, homemade chocolate treats for V…
