It’s treat day again, which means it’s finally Friday! A couple weeks ago I came across Grilled Cheese Social (my heaven). Makenzie Smith, the creator of Grilled Cheese Social started her blog last year, she has made almost every variation of the grilled cheese I could think of and all look like they would melt in your mouth. yumm. Her heart shaped French toast with mascarpone cheese looks delectable and perfect for Treat Day Friday. Enjoy!

I have had a major sweet tooth lately and with my love/hate relationship with ice cream I have found that sorbet is the way to control my craving :) Ciao Bella not only is delicious but the packaging is also super cute. I love the wide range of flavors like, blood orange (Oprah’s favorite), roasted hazelnut, and blackberry cabernet to name a few. Ciao Bella can fill anyones sweet tooth because not only do they make sorbet but also gelato and all natural ice cream.

Happy National Margarita Day everyone! How great is it that the tart and tangy drink has its own holiday? I think it’s pretty fabulous! Which kind of margarita is your favorite, frozen or on the rocks? lime, strawberry, or even the not- so- traditional blood orange? I am thinking of trying Ina Garten’s Blood Orange Margarita recipe tonight.
Ingredients
Combine the blood orange juice, lemon juice, Triple Sec, and ice in a blender and puree until completely blended. Add the tequila and puree for 2 seconds more.
Pour the mixture into the frozen margarita glasses and serve.
