Move over La Croix, there's a new flavored seltzer taking the world by storm. Polar Seltzer just announced that it's adding four limited edition flavors to its lineup and they sound magical. Literally. The new flavors launched on August …
I'm lucky to live on a block with a bunch of kids ranging in age from 2 to 12. Sometimes it can be hard to involve everyone in the same game or play, but that's never the case with a lemonade stand. The big kids take turns making lemonad…
Our neighborhood pool has a strict no-glass policy around the pool deck -- which I totally understand, because #safetyfirst. But occasionally we like to order pizzas for the kids, bring some drinks for the grown ups, and let the kids swi…
They can't stop, they won't stop! Starbucks just announced two new Frappucino blended Crème drinks -- Berry Prickly Pear and Mango Pineapple -- and both are among the most summery drinks they offer yet. And, yes, yes: They'll look great …
Now that the weather's warming up, my favorite go-to dessert for the whole family are gourmet popsicles. Not only are they delicious, but you can also make them ahead. Plus, you can make some boozy for the grown-ups with my tips below. B…
You know what they say: Rosé all day. Except anything all day gets boring. That's why I whipped up five rosé cocktail recipes to keep the rosé wine flowing all summer long, no boredom allowed. On the latest Kitchen Help LIVE , our weekly…
I adore a good outdoor party in the summertime, but can be intimidated out of hosting a bigger crowd. After all, there's a lot to think about: perfectly mixed drinks, Instagram-able desserts, that one vegetarian family that only eats bla…
It's no secret that we're big fans of Kathy Strahs, the woman who brought us Panini Happy and the genius The 8x8 Cookbook , which perfected the one-pan family meal. The themes of her work alone make it clear that Kathy gets what it's lik…
Smoothies are nearly a religion in my house. They are pretty much the best way ever to boost my kids' diets with power produce and protein, and they taste delicious while they do it. Although...I've learned the hard way that the wrong co…
You know what they say: When life gives you new, game-changing methods for cutting fruit, you make lemonade. And Stacie's recent Kitchen Help Live video has done just that; I finally know how to cut kiwi, mango, and -- yes! -- even the n…
It's a unicorn world and we're just living in it. And Starbucks clearly has seen fit to jump on the trend the same as any Etsy artist (or ahem, website publisher) with its brand new, totally mind-blowing, neon colored, Unicorn Frappuccin…
I think that the key to a festive spread is the perfect party punch recipe. If you get it just right -- not too heavy, not too sweet, not too fizzy -- your guests will keep coming back for refills, and they'll probably ask you for the re…
As an outspoken proponent of healthy, homemade family food, I often find myself dispelling the myth that my family and I live on quinoa and kale alone. Though we're fans of both (well, most of us), we also love burgers, pizza, and chicke…
We can thank McDonald’s for the continued popularity of the St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock Shake. They’ve rolled out four new flavors this year, ranging from chocolate to mocha, and Burger King hopped on the shake train with their new, limit…
Starbucks is giving all the spring feels with their latest secret Starbucks menu item, which has (of course) become an Instagram trend started by @DailyFoodFeed ( pictured ). Two-tone ombre deliciousness, the Matcha Pink Drink is a combi…
With a new baby on the way, I can expect to be sleep deprived for oh, the next 18 years, give or take. So while I wait, I've rounded up eight power foods to keep the melatonin rolling and my body relaxed, so that I can stock up on shutey…
Whether you've seen every film nominated for an Academy Award this year or you're still trying to figure out what this La La Land is that everyone's so gaga about, having friends over for an Oscars party is always a winning idea. An excu…
If cold weather, cooped up kids, and a complete lack of sunlight have got you down, I feel you. This isn't my favorite time of year either -- except for a new tradition in my neighborhood. My neighbor has started hosting happy hour in he…
Leave it to my sixth-grade daughter to introduce me to one of the best ever off-menu Starbucks items: Snickerdoodle Hot Cocoa . Seriously. Outrageous. It may or may not be on the menu of your own local Starbucks right now -- I rarely see…
Famous pastry chef Dominique Ansel recently put all of our hot chocolates to shame with his wildly creative and totally gorgeous blooming marshmallow flower hot chocolate , but that doesn't mean we have to give up completely. Real, homem…
If your family spent the holiday season like mine, there was lot of sugar involved. Now that we're in full pull-back mode, I'm clearing a spot on my counter for the blender so that we can smoothie for breakfast or snack time most days. B…
You guys, this past year has been tough. Of course, it hasn't been all bad, but let's just say that we're more than happy to raise a glass to an amazing, better-than-ever new year coming up. And to get you prepared for the festivities --…
There's nothing like the perfect cocktail -- or two! -- to make your holiday party a little merrier (and greatly increase the chances of an end-of-night singalong). While we love eggnog (with or without booze), mulled wine , and mulled c…
I'm not going to lie, this past year, and especially what's going on in this country right now has been really hard on me. Really hard, and really stressful. And while I'm the queen of self-care and would love any of the self-care gift i…
