Happy summer! It’s the last day of our 21 Days of #LoveSummer stunt! Celebrating our final day, we thought we’d add a bit of ease to an old favorite and make a lazy margarita. When it gets hot outside – not the, “Oh wow, it’s hot out,” but the “OMFG it’s hot out” – the kind of day where your sweat has sweat. All you want to do is stand…
Here’s a fun way to decorate your cupcakes for your summer picnics. Make Corn on the Cob Cupcakes! Haha – no corn involved – just jelly beans. Out of a small bag of mixed jelly beans, there were only enough yellow beans to make one of these cupcakes, so I’m not sure where you can find only yellow jelly beans, but good luck!! We found the corn skewers at Michael’s for…
Need a healthier alternative to a delicious summer favorite? We found this Twisted Key Lime Pie recipe on Run Hard Eat Clean. So we decided to make some, with some changes. For the original recipe refer to the link above. Even though the Twisted Key Lime Pie is made from avocados, it tastes like a key lime pie. There is an avocado taste, so if you’re like Fatima and hate…
An easy take on those delicious MarquisRita cupcakes we featured earlier this week.

As we experimented with the tequila in the batter, we noticed it didn’t really mix into the batter, so as…
Who doesn’t want a mason jar tumbler? When I was typing up this post I totally spelled tumbler, “tumblr.” What has this world come to?? There are so many uses for a mason jar; night light, salad jar, spice jar, utensil holder, and now a tumbler to-go! You can buy these online from other retailers or you can make a mason jar tumbler for yourself. They are a little tricky…
Ummm, YUM! I first had St. Germain when my friend Stephanie (check out Pop! Goes My Culture) got me out of the kitchen and onto Governor’s Island in NYC for the Jazz Age Lawn Party. It was magical. I had a cup of the St. Germain Cocktail, and after the first sip, I fell in love. Lucky for me (and for you), I entered a photo of the event in…
My mama, aka Mommy Marquis, aka Tammy loves scallops. Anytime we’re out at a seafood restaurant – well any restaurant – she’ll use that opportunity to hunt down scallops on the menu. I’m not sure why she loves them so much, maybe it’s equal to my addiction to chocolate? Loving scallops so much, my mom decided to start buying them at the seafood market and cooking them herself. She came up with…
