Dipped Marshmallow Pops

Forget about the cake and cookies—pass over the marshmallows!  These little treats are a great way to make something totally unique for a party! 

They are super easy to make and great for all types of events.  Here, we used strawberry marshmallows from Kraft to match the theme of a baby shower. There are tons of color combinations you can try for birthdays, holidays or other parties!

Burger Recipe from the South Beach Wine & Food Festival

Every year, the Food Network’s South Beach Wine & Food Festival comes to town, unloading an excessive array of tropical culinary cuisine.  Paula Deen, Rachel Ray, Emeril Lagasse are just a few of the celebrity chefs who will showcase their talents at this year’s festival. Today, I had a chance to interview Chef Andrew Balick from the Ritz Carlton South Beach. He’ll be serving his famous Lamb Slider at this year’s Burger Bash! It’s $300 a ticket. So, if you don’t have the cash to attend, you can make it yourself.

Thanks to Chef Balick for sharing the recipe!
