I just wanted to take a little bit of time today to wish you all a very Happy 4th of July. I hope that you are taking the time to yourselves and with your families. If you are unsure what to do today here are a few ideas:

Raspberry Margarita
I published this quick adult drink recipe back in 2014 but it is still a hit today. With the 4th coming up fast it is sure to be a hit with all of the adults in your life. At least those who drink. You could do it without the alcohol adding fresh raspberries instead of…
Apple Rose Tart
I posted this originally on Valentine’s Day back in 2017. When I was looking back at recipes I knew right away that this was going to be one of the first that I updated and re-shared with all of y’all. This recipe was a huge hit and I have made it many times. It is…
Carrot Cake Cupcakes

Allergic Reactions Are No Joke
