Lava Flow Cocktail Popsicles: Frozen Piña Colada Rum Pops

HELLO! Big news: I made a portable cocktail.

Refreshing Watermelon Salsa Recipe for Summer Parties

My dislike of vegetables even extends to salsa. I remember as a child dipping a chip into salsa and letting all the veggie pieces slide back into the bowl, then inevitably eating a chip drenched in salsa “juice.” Not much has changed — I still don’t like chunks in salsa. The only difference now is … Read more
