It’s time to use Alexa in the kitchen.
Everyone could use an extra set of hands in the kitchen, right? Say you are knee-deep in making meatballs and need to set a timer. Perhaps you are so out of ideas you just want someone to tell you what to make and how to make it. What if I told you that there is something that can do all that and more? It’s true.
I have had the device for years now, and I can genuinely say that she is invaluable. Wondering what Alexa cooking skills are and how they can help you in the kitchen?

Do you plan on hitting the slopes this season? Skiing and snowboarding are great ways to be active during the winter months. So while the 2020-21 season may be a little different, it’s still possible to have some fun.
Foodservice is one of the biggest aspects of skiing that has changed. For now, we won’t have the lodge experience of popping in to warm up and grab some lunch. While many resorts have expanded their outdoor food service options, it still may be best to bring your lunches and snacks. But that leaves us wondering what the heck do we bring?

I’ve made it time and again. When you eat it, you can’t stop. The best part is that you can easily individually portion it out to accommodate for social distancing. Just because we are staying six feet apart doesn’t mean we can’t have good food.

The holidays are a great chance to spend time with your loved ones and create beautiful memories. Unfortunately, sometimes they are so busy that we are spending all of our time doing tasks and forget to have fun.
Part of the problem is that we want to create fabulous meals but don’t want to spend a ton of time on them.
Breakfast can be an especially tricky one. You want to have a great family meal but don’t want to invest too much time in it, especially when dinners seem to be the star during the holidays. You just can’t do it all.
I have long been on the hunt for a great make-ahead breakfast for the holidays. Unfortunately, searches always yield breakfast casseroles, and there are only so many of those we can eat. Here is an entirely different take. I have the ultimate hack for your Christmas breakfast –a make-ahead pancake board.
You may have seen these fancy charcuterie boards filled with meat and cheese on Pinterest or Facebook. They are certainly all the rage. Now that trend has spilled over to breakfast. And why not? A breakfast charcuterie is the perfect leisurely meal that we all crave.
Don’t let the pretty pictures fool you. A pancake board is entirely attainable for a holiday breakfast, and I’m here to show you how.

Hot cocoa bombs, I am admittedly obsessed! You may have seen a video featuring a ball of chocolate with warm milk poured over it, which then exposes what is inside floating around on Facebook. I saw it once and just knew I had to make them.
Since then, I have seen hot cocoa bombs sold by a variety of bakeries and chocolatiers. Some places wanted upwards of $10 each for them! That is crazy! I’m here to tell you that they are not expensive to make, and the only special equipment required is a six dollar mold. If you are looking for a DIY food gift, this is it! They are quite impressive and aren’t that labor-intensive, and they are sure to impress your loved ones.
