The Foodista created her own version of NYC’s Vesta Hangover Pizza with this easy to make recipe… More »
Grill this. Long, Holiday weekends are ideal for big BBQs and even if you aren’t a big meat-eater you can still look forward to grilling out.

We’re not quite sure how someone comes to this conclusion about an ear of corn-on-the-cob, but it’s obviously worth trying it out with a name like that. More »
Drink this. Even if you’ve never had the pleasure of making it up to Maddie’s Sail Loft in Marblehead, Mass (the Yachting Capital of America), you can still drink like the sailors do with their signature “Thunderdome” drink. While we’re not quite sure how many sailors actually indulge in this fruity vodka champagne cocktail, I can tell you from experience, I’ve seen this concoction knock many of manly men on the floor. Because while the drink may call for equal parts of fruit juice to alcohol, the heavy handed, scruffy bartenders at the coastal institution definitely don’t always stay true to form… More »

[Photo via WeekofMenus] Every caffeine addict knows that taking your java poolside doesn’t exactly working out so well. Iced coffee just melts into a watery mess and who wants to drink hot cup of anything under the glaring sun? We don’t, but we think this reverse coffee drink is a suh-weet alternative for those needing their coffee fix by the pool.

And with no hard liquor needed for this wild concoction, you wont run the risk of passing out by the pool before your night out gets started. Ingredients and directions below… More »

Depending on what time it is, you can adjust the recipe to be either a breakfast quesadilla, or a lunch snack to enjoy poolside. What’s even better is that you can also easily swap out some of the ingredients based on you or your guests’ likings… Since we are such huge fans of using the grill as much as you can during the summer, today’s recipe is for Grilled Chicken Eggplant Quesadillas...
