A year ago I published a video on how to make a mocha and it has been my most viewed video to date. Since then, however, I’ve changed the way I make a mocha. Instead of melting chocolate, I go with Torani dark chocolate sauce. It’s worth spending the money to get the good stuff! […]
Happy New Year! In this year, I noted a trend of people pouring champagne over sorbet and gelato. I figured, why not make myself a non-alcoholic version with some good luck grapes for New Year’s? It’s a festive and refreshing holiday drink fit for a toast. Of course, you could do this very same recipe, […]
I recently did a series of video projects for Dreyer’s and Edy’s Ice Cream for their social media channels. Each video required three half-gallons of ice cream in order to produce the videos and the recipes in them. But, I only needed a few scoops per video, so I was left with a lot of […]
Seeing as I don’t drink anymore, I love concocting fun beverages that I can still enjoy at a party. Through my Latin dinner party series, I was inspired by the mojito, but of course nixed the rum and swapped in fresh pineapple for a fresh and easy mojito mocktail.

I had a hardcore hankering for hot cocoa. To the pantry, pushing the Raisin Bran and mixed nuts to the side, looking for hot cocoa. Wooo hoo! There’s a canister of cocoa! Hmmmm…I wonder if cocoa expires. Awwwww, crap. March 15, 2013. I should probably do a pantry clean-out… [scratches head] Pish-posh, I can make my […]
Another recipe from my first ever cooking class was chocolate malt shakes. I decided to go with strawberry for the class, but originally devised the recipe with chocolate. The night of the class, come to find out one of the attendees was allergic to strawberries, so we went vanilla for him at the last minute. It […]
