Today I'm sharing my family's favorite breakfast recipe: Vanilla Spice Pancakes. The batter is flavored with vanilla extract and spiced with cinnamon and ground cloves; We're not talking Holiday flavors here, but just the right amount to make those ho-hum pancakes into something absolutely delicious. I've also got some tried-and-true tips and tricks for making pancake breakfasts easier and for getting the perfect pancake (hint: if you haven't tried a cast-iron skillet for pancakes, you should!)

It has been in the 90's all week here and I don't know about you but I'll do anything I can not to heat up the kitchen any more than I have to and this Tuna Salad is the perfect way to have quick, cold sandwiches for lunch or dinner. Also, they're perfect for picnics!

I worked on this recipe for years and finally found the perfect mix of tart and sweet, creamy and crunchy that my family absolutely loves. This tuna salad is made with hard-boiled eggs, diced sweet pickles (trust me), mayo, and lots of lemon juice, but there's one secret ingredient that takes it from bland to flavorful in a snap.

Phew! Finally, I have a little time here to do a wrap-up!

A mild spring in the south lasts approximately 2 days. Saying it's a bit warm here is an understatement, but there's nothing better when the heat hits than taking to the porch for lazy days and cold drinks. This Fruit-Infused Sparkling Cocktail is low cal and low carb + super-refreshing and you can serve it with a tray of cut fruits so that everyone can mix up their favorite flavors and have a delish snack!

With the Soccer Championship Games coming up, I thought a new cocktail was in order. :) If you haven't heard of a Michelada, it's a beer-based cocktail served in different ways throughout Mexico and South America, but this version is my favorite. I've spiced it up and am using a dark beer to make this a deep and rich Michelada with a kick, perfect to serve at your watch parties!

With Spring here, I had to be prepared for allergy season. It would be enough to handle if it were just me, but my daughter suffers from seasonal allergies as well. When the pollen starts, so do her allergy symptoms like runny nose, itchy eyes and throat.  I've got a great resource on children's allergies, a list of ways to help them feel less miserable, and a way to save on their medication!
