It's also the perfect dish to make if your kitchen is under construction like mine was for this video. It's a cold dish so nothing to heat up. 

First, mix together two cans of drained whole-kernel corn, two cups of mexican blend cheese, one cup of light mayo, diced red pepper, pepper and a bit of cilantro in a bowl. Then, add crushed Chili Cheese Fritos and mix well. Serve and enjoy!

This is my favorite way to make a regular drink feel fancy! Sprinkle a little edible glitter in a silicone mold and fill with water and freeze. When it melts, your drink will be cute and sparkly.

My drink today is two ounces of bourbon, one ounce of peach syrup, lemon juice and club soda! Stir and watch it sparkle.

Today we're making golf tee cupcakes for the Maste Today we're making golf tee cupcakes for the Masters! ⛳️

First, either make or purchase cupcakes with green frosting. My kitchen was under construction for this video, so I purchased mine. But you can easily make your own and even use the grass piping tip to make grass. 

Then I found these golf-tee toothpicks. Place one in each cupcake. 

Then use cookie icing to secure a white chocolate truffle to each of the tees. 

Allow the icing to harden, serve and enjoy!

2019 Gift Guide: For Him


It’s here! The most requested gift guide. This guide is full of gifts for the men in your life. This includes your husband/boyfriend, dad, uncles, cousins, brothers, grandpas, friends, whomever is male in your life.

Stephen always always helps me with this guide. He knows better than I do what men like so I always look for his help when compiling this list. This year, we took it a step further. You can check out our podcast episode where we break down the entire gift guide and talk about gifts from the past that aren’t included on this list, but are still good.

So let’s jump right in!

Bose Wireless Earbuds: These are high quality earbuds. It’s nice to not be attached to a cord and Bose has a great sound system.

Hydroflask: I feel like this is on everyone’s Christmas list this year. Hydroflasks are a very popular gift. These keep cold liquid cold for 24 hours and hot liquid hot for 12.

Light When Dad Farts (or personalize the name): I don’t care how old you are, farts are funny. This is a good gift to get a giggle during Christmas. It’s a candle that says “Light when Dad Farts.” You can either get the Dad version or personalize a name.

White Truff Hot Sauce: I know Truff has been on several gift guides of mine over the past two years but it’s a good gift. It’s truffles and hot sauce combined. This year they came out with a White truffle hot sauce! If your man likes hot sauce, definitely try Truff.

Mustard Trio: Speaking of food, this mustard trio is a great gift for men. It includes a hot, classic and jalapeno mustard. This is more unique than a hot or barbecue sauce.

4-in-1 Wireless Charger: Apple friends, this charges your phone, your Airpods and your Apple watch. It has a sleek design so he can keep it right on his nightstand and charge all the accessories.

Outdoor Smart Plug: This is a smart plug for your outdoor lights. You can control your lights from your phone so it’s really easy to turn on and off. Great for landscape lighting, holiday lights, pool lights, etc.

Power Press Push Up System: Stephen got this for Christmas last year and loves it. It comes with a color coded board with two handles. You can move the handles to work different parts of your body while you do push ups.

Professional Foam Cannon and Soap Kit: Does your guy spend most weekends working on his car? This is the perfect car cleaning tool! It has a professional-grade cannon to clean the car.

Gel Heating System: I didn’t know this, but apparently you get a closer shave when your gel is hot. This tool heats it up so your guy can get a closer shave.

Screwdriver Pen Pocket: This is cool! It’s a 5-in-1 tool set in a pen. It’s perfect for contractors and handy dads.

Pizza Over Grill Kit: This was our favorite thing on the list this year. This is a kit that turns your little round grill into a pizza oven. You place it between the grill and the lid and bake your pizza. I think this is awesome and cheaper than getting an actual wood fire grill.

Men’s Leather Track Belt: Stephen says belts with holes get kinks and dents over time. So he added this track belt because it doesn’t have any holes and makes for a smoother fit longer-term.

Grilling Spice Gift Set: I like to give food to guys for Christmas. It’s a gift that’s perfect for guys who like to eat or cook. It’s also a great gift if you don’t know someone super well but still need to get them something. This five spice grilling set includes citrus basil, smokey southwest, grill master, fresh bay and peppered habanero.

Memory Foam Slippers: Stephen pointed out that it isn’t fair that women always get the comfy slippers. So I found these memory foam slippers online. He might be getting these for Christmas.

2-in-1 Laser Measuring Tape: It looks a little terrifying, but it’s a really high-tech measuring tape. It has a laser measure and also a regular tape measure.

Wireless Ear Buds: I know this is the second pair of earbuds on this list, but this set is over-the-ear. This is great for running and will decrease the probability that they will fall out.

Smart Garage Door Opener: This is a smart hub for your garage door opener. It connects to your wi-fi and works with Amazon so they can place your packages inside the garage.

Craftsman Beer Soap Sampler: This set is perfect for the beer lover in your life. It has six smaller bars of soap and contains variety of Hefe, IPA, brown, hops and barley, lager and Saison.

Bobo Bird Wooden Watch: This watch is so beautiful. The wood face is really classic. If you need a nice, classic gift to give a man I highly recommend this wooden watch.

Half-Zip Pullover: I added this one to the list because I think guys look good in a half-zip pullover. Mine especially.

Shower beer Man Crate: Man Crates are the best! There are so many options for guys who like food, who have beards, who like beer, who are handy, etc. They come with a crowbar and half the fun is opening it. This one is a personalized shower beer crate. I’ve also linked a few other shower beer options without the crate.

Check out our podcast for more information about each of these items! What are your guys asking for this holiday season?
