Why is it every time I start a new diet, I’m suddenly bombarded with images and recipes for delicious desserts? No matter where I log on to — Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram — I keep finding my friends sharing their newest creations. Or maybe a great tiramisu in a mason jar recipe. Like this […]
Etched Mr. & Mrs. Mason Mugs
at this (affiliate) link on Amazon I’ve been wanting to etch mason jars for the longest time … and for the longest time I’ve had all the materials. Clean surface mason jar mugs. Check. Adhesive letter stickers. Check. Etching medium. Check. I’m not sure why I didn’t do this sooner. It truly is really easy. […]
Strawberry Pineapple Drink
Wasn’t it so nice to finally enjoy some nice, warm weather this past weekend? I even pulled out my beach chair and caught some rays in the back yard. And let me tell you, it was hot in the sun. Very hot. A heat that would’ve been nice to break up with a super cool […]

Key Lime Pie Recipe
Mason jar recipes have become a favorite of mine. Not just because everything tastes better in a mason jar … because, seriously, everything does … desserts, drinks, meals. But making dessert, drink, and meal recipes in mason jars means they’re easily portable. And single serve. Just screw on the lids, pack them up, […]
Whiskey Dessert Recipe
Once upon a time I worked for a whiskey company. A well-known one based in Kentucky. And part of that job was to promote recipes using whiskey. Drink recipes, of course … but there were also main dishes. And desserts. Though, we never ever made a whiskey dessert recipe in a mason jar. […]
