With New Year’s Even just around the corner, I was thinking there would be no better time than now to make some Rosé soaked strawberries. By why stop there? I decided the best thing to do was to cover those things in some dark chocolate!
This is how adults do ‘jello shots’ right?
I like to think that it’s a more elegant way to indulge anyway!…

This year for the 4th of July we've got some visitors in town for a few days. Amidst the usual chaos of the holiday, I thought it was high time to make a fun, easy, little patriotic salad that could be easily tossed together and enjoyed as a festive side or even as lunch!
I basically started this salad off with one of the most easy and tasty vinaigrettes I've ever had. It's simple and so easy to make with just three basic ingredients; plus some salt and pepper! What goes better with celebrating Independence Day other than with some champagne, anyway? Even if it is in the form of a vinaigrette…

Yesterday, The Skinny Fork officially turned 5 years old! Can you believe?! I decided to celebrate the best way that I know how, and that's with mimosas and cake! But, instead of keeping them separate, I put them together into one AMAZING loaf cake.
That's right babes... there's champagne and fresh squeezed orange juice IN this cake TOGETHER. I'm calling it a 'loaf cake' because it's not really a bread, but it's baked as a loaf. Ergo, loaf cake...

It's summer and it's hot. Like real hot here in Texas. The sort of heat that will take your breath away when you step outside. There isn't a whole lot you can do to stay cool outside of water, fans, and some nice cold fruit either. One of my favorite summer fruits has to be grapefruit! It's refreshing and bright and perfect to help beat the summer heat.
Another summer favorite of mine is sparkling wine; namely brute rosé! I love that it's crisp and refreshing. Outside of drinking it, I like to come up with fun recipes and ideas to use wine and sparkling wines in recipes; giving me many different ways (other than drinking it) to enjoy an opened bottle repeatedly!...

It's hard to believe that I originally had made this recipe almost 4 years ago! Oh, how time flies. With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought this lovely little pink champagne cupcake could stand an update and some polishing up.
For her birthday a few years ago, my mom had requested pink champagne cupcakes. And of course some pink champagne to wash them down with.
So naturally, I've got to rub some skinny all over it...

My birthday is coming up in a week, and so of course... this just had to happen.
I've been chewing on the idea of soaking some more gummy bears, since last time was rather well enjoyed by all. With my birthday just around the corner, I wanted to change it up a bit and make things a bit more festive. And what says birthday better than cake?
One of my most favorite cakes is funfetti or confetti cake; white cake with plenty of rainbow colored sprinkles. So, that's sort of where the idea of this started to come together. What could I possibly soak rainbow gummy bears in that would be birthday-esque?...
