Bananas Foster Fudgesicle Cocktail Pops

This recipe was one I wanted to create for my recent Today Show appearance, but it didn’t make it on the show. It is one of my favorites as the rummy, caramel sauce from the Bananas Foster is mixed into the fudge and it’s just scrumptious. 1 tablespoon butter 1/4 cup golden brown sugar 2 […]

This recipe is ridiculously easy, and ridonkulously good.  The great thing about push pop molds is that they have somewhat of an airtight seal at the bottom so you can add a nice amount of liquid without it leaking out. Amaretto-soused pound cake, topped with strawberries and whipped cream…beyond good. 1lb. loaf pound cake, cut […]

Ya’ see, my husband and his college buds went to school with John Slattery, who plays Roger Sterling on the show. Apparently, Slattery’s nickname in college was “Slats” because his eyes were like […]
