Piña Colada Ice Pops
I’m back with another boozy ice pop recipe! Remember those Boozy Frozen Peach Pops? So TASTY!
Let’s discuss these Piña Colada Ice Pops. One little bite will instantly transport you to HAWAII.
It’s the RUM! It’s the COCONUT! Wait….It’s the PINEAPPLE!
Put on your grass skirt, dust off your coconut shell bra and LET’S DO THIS.
It’s like drinking a Piña Colada without the glass!
I kinda feel like we should stick a cocktail umbrella in one….
Aloha, Wiki wiki aaaaaaand MAHOLO.
Rigatoni w/ Marinara & Ricotta
It’s been AGES since we’ve had pasta in my household. Why??? Well, there’s a 3 year old that I live with who doesn’t like pasta. WHAT? Can you imagine that? A kid that doesn’t like pasta? My Italian grandma would consider this sacrilegious.
Since there are two adults in my household that love pasta, I had to make this simple recipe.
Grandma might be ashamed to know how easy this recipe is. You mean marinara doesn’t have to take 4+ hours to make? The best things in life are just plain simple. Just like this pasta.

My Bites on the Net:

Katie from the Muffin Myth celebrated her blog’s new look with my Sour Cream Chocolate Bundt Cake!
Linds from the MuffingTin Post (love the name!) made Caprese Sandwiches with my Caramelized Onion Jam.
Sticky Balsamic Ribs
While I was letting these ribs sit in the fridge to marinate, I got it in my head to invite some friends over for dinner. Casey panicked and interrupted my phone call with, “What are you gonna feed them for dinner??!” As in…he didn’t want me to share his ribs with anyone. I thought it was cute.
He was lucky they didn’t pick up the phone. But really…I was the lucky one. I randomly made a batch of taquitos a few hours before dinner just so I could fill him up and eat more ribs. I’m selfish/smart like that.
There’s no shame.
These Sticky Balsamic Ribs are fantastically tender, sticky tangy, sweet, easy to make & eat…everything ribs should be!
Sharing is optional.
