I came up with something rainbow sparkly to inspire kids to want to cook. In this homemade rainbow lollipop project I encourage kids to be creative and to made their own color and flavor choices. They also get to smash candy with hammers, which is a lot of fun. The how-to instructions, photos and video are up at the Food Network. I am very happy to report that this series of short videos which are filmed and edited by my husband, have gotten over five million views each on average.

Sprinkles elevate an everyday dessert like this simple chocolate mousse into something special. Glittery red cinnamon sugar and vanilla mini marshmallow bits add a kick of flavor, while the subtle color of these pretty blue jimmies comes from natural dyes. So sprinkle without abandon and make even everyday celebrations sparkle like it’s the 4th of July.
In my latest article for Random House’s TasteBook I share recipes for my favorite Mexican street snacks, including TostiNachos and these Walking Tacos made with Tapatio Doritos. They’re perfect for the Super Bowl, a day when it is perfectly acceptable to eat all of the junk food you’ve been attempting to avoid the rest of the year.
