The leaves are changing color, Halloween and Thanksgiving are just around the corner, and the frozen drinks of summer are slowly being replaced by hard apple cider.

But this doesn’t need to be the case! One of the creamiest, tastiest variations of the frozen mudslide is perfect for holiday parties…or simply to satisfy a simultaneous craving for booze and pumpkin pie.

You need:

*1 can of pumpkin pie filling
*vodka
*Bailey’s Irish Cream
*milk
*ice
*whipped cream
*cinnamon
*a blender

It’s so easy, yet you’re sure to impress all of your friends by introducing them to this festive autumn libation. Simply fill the blender with ice and pour in 2 oz each of vodka and Bailey’s. Add a heaping scoop of pumpkin pie filling, and fill the rest of the blender with milk. Blend it up and serve in a hurricane glass, topped with whipped cream and sprinkled with cinnamon. It’s smooth, creamy, and tastes just like Thanksgiving dessert.

Delicious!

I’m a huge fro-yo fan, and my dream job may be taste-testing at the Ben & Jerry’s factory in Vermont, but sometimes it’s good to keep your calories in check when you’re craving something chilly for the summer. You know…with bathing suits and super tight dresses, and all.

And so, I bring you a ridiculously easy Yogurt Mousse to curb that sweet tooth without giving up on the flava.

What you will need:
½ cup plain nonfat yogurt
½ cup light Cool Whip
1 capful flavored extract of your choice (Vanilla or almond are great, lemon and orange aren’t bad if you’re craving fruit)
Sprinkle of Sweet and Low to taste

How to do it:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and add Sweet and Low as desired (if desired at all). Yeah, it’s that easy. Read More »

Sometimes, when I’m really bored and don’t feel like dealing with the pile of work on my desk, I look up recipes for chocolate cake.

In real life, I’m not much of a cook, but in my fantasy life (you know, where I’m married to Christian Bale and own a giant mansion and can ran a half-marathon in 4 inch heels?), I am a f&*cking fantastic baker.

And there really isn’t anything in this life that’s better than a bite of amazing chocolate goodness (except maybe sex. But I mean…the jury’s still out on that one).

It seems like today is one of those days where I refuse to be responsible and instead want to drown myself in whipped cream fantasy. The recipe I’m about to share with you I actually experienced, and let me just say, I almost had to excuse myself it was so good.

Plus, it’s easy. No Food Network experience required!

I do enjoy a good key lime pie.

But it’s so hard to find a restaurant that does it right. Unless you’re in Florida, ordering a piece of key lime pie off a menu is basically asking your waiter to dig something rock hard out of the freezer and stick it in a microwave.

Unless you take your key lime in a shot glass.

Usually, I’m not too keen on mixing lime juice and milk products, but the measurements in this recipe are proportionate enough to keep your stomach from souring.

Celebrate the looming last days of summer with this exotic shooter.
Key Lime Pie Shot

• 1 oz vodka
• lime juice (to taste)
• whipped cream

Pour a small amount of lime juice into your shot glass. Top it off with the vodka. Put a tiny burst of whipped cream on the top. Lean back and shoot! Read More »
