Do you believe in genuine friendship? Finding a loyal and reliable friend is tricky nowadays. Many people are two-faced and like using their loved ones’ weaknesses to attack them.

5 Zodiac Signs That Make The Best Friends

Taste Of Home

I can think of several cocktails sweet enough to be considered dessert. The chocolate-rich Brandy Alexander immediately comes to mind, quickly followed by tropical, coconut pina coladas or sweet-tart, candied lemon drop shots. But this frozen mudslide recipe stands in a league of its own. To make it, vodka, Irish cream and coffee liqueur are blended with ice cream to create a thick, creamy, boozy adult milkshake.

I’ll admit it—mincing and dicing take up most of my time in the kitchen, and it’s my least favorite part of cooking. Even after investing in one of the best knife sets, I still dread the idea of spending precious minutes making bite-sized tomatoes for salsa or minute walnut pieces for pesto. Some folks prefer showing off their fancy knifework with clean, precise slices of sweet potato or evenly chopped carrots. However, I’d rather save that energy for flawless pan-fried finishes and brush up on my reduction skills.

Keeping your drink of choice cool during the summer is a priority during parties (ice-cold probiotic sodas, anyone?). However, in my opinion, the best stress test for a cooler is a multi-day camping excursion. For folks like me who enjoy trekking into the backwoods with little more than a cooler, a tent and a select few essentials, it’s imperative that any perishables stay chilly for days on end. I can say from personal experience that there’s nothing more disappointing than opening up your pricey cooler on day three of a trip only to find a few pieces of ice floating in a pool of lukewarm water. Enter: the Orca cooler.

Looking for a chocolate sheet cake with a twist that is easy to make and travels well? Coca-cola cake checks all the boxes. It takes a familiar favorite and jazzes it up with the sweet taste of cola. Topped off with an old-fashioned glaze that’s poured over the cake while still warm from the oven, this dessert is hard to resist. Serve it up plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I’m a lemon dessert kind of girl. I’ll take the sweet-tart character of lemon meringue pie over apple pie any day of the week, and I love lemon curd so much that I could eat it with a spoon like pudding. So, it’s not surprising that lemon drops are my favorite candy. Like the candy, this lemon drop shot recipe hones in on that perfect balance of sweet-tart flavors. It’s a perfect party shot because it tends to be a real crowd-pleaser: Sour enough to taste refreshing yet sweet enough to go down smoothly.

Summery, fruity and sweet to its core, our peach sangria recipe is like sunshine in a glass. A mix of fresh peaches and peach schnapps promises that the fruit flavor isn’t a subtle hint—it’s a full-on peach bushel. They’re swirled with white wine and topped with fizzy sparkling water for an extra pop. Just remember to mix it up a few hours before serving so the ingredients and flavors have time to meld into one another. It’s worth the wait!

It’s hard to resist the hot pink beauty of fresh raspberries when they’re in season. Tart, intensely fruity and even subtly floral, raspberry’s unique flavor shouldn’t be masked under a ton of heavy ingredients. That’s why we love baking these berries in our raspberry crumble.

When on the quest for the best cordless vacuum, you want something that is equally as powerful as it is easy to use. While some of the larger, robust models on the market today come equipped with all the bells and whistles, they are often heavy, lack maneuverability and don’t always warrant lugging out of the closet for quick or frequent cleans.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

From pour-overs to coffee concentrates, nothing gives a boost like the bitter hit of caffeine that comes with a morning brew. No matter what kind of coffee maker you use, a comforting hot mug on a cold day or a refreshing iced coffee when the weather turns warmer is such a treat. But if you’re the only coffee drinker in the house (or you just get tired of grinding your own beans), a drip machine may not be the best choice.
