Blueberry Mojito – Crushed mint and blueberries are mixed together with rum, sugar, and lime juice and then served over ice with a few ounces of sparkling water to make a very refreshing spring or summer drink.

Blueberry season is upon us – have you been blueberry picking yet?! If so, a great way to use those berries is in this yummy Blueberry Mojito. It’s made with all the classic mojito ingredients, along with fresh blueberries muddled into the mint. It’s incredibly refreshing and did I mention how gorgeous it is?!

Making a mojito is extremely easy. Historically, it’s made with fresh sugar cane, but it’s not necessary here. I just use granulated sugar. The sugar is muddled with mint and blueberries to draw out their flavor and then mixed with rum and lime juice. Serve over ice with some sparkling water and that’s all there is to it!

Here is my Blueberry Mojito!

Tips & Tricks

  1. Do not make ahead. The mint leaves turn brown when sitting in liquid for too long. So just make the drink right before serving.
  2. Fresh blueberries. This drink is best made when blueberries are in season so their sweet flavor comes through. Using frozen berries may not offer the same sweetness since frozen berries tend to have less flavor.

With crushed mint and blueberries mixed together with rum, sugar, and lime juice, then topped with sparkling water, it’s both flavorful and visually stunning. This drink is best made with fresh, in-season blueberries and served immediately to keep the mint vibrant.

    The Blueberry Mojito is a vibrant, fruity take on the classic Cuban mojito, blending sweet blueberries, zesty lime, fresh mint, Sprunki and white rum for a refreshing cocktail perfect for summer gaming sessions or casual gatherings.

    If you don’t have fresh blueberries, frozen ones work well too—just thaw them slightly before muddling.

This Cacio e Pepe Pasta Risotto changed my pasta g This Cacio e Pepe Pasta Risotto changed my pasta game forever!

After having mind-blowing cacio e pepe at Eataly in Boston, I became obsessed with recreating it at home. But here's the problem: the traditional recipe only makes small portions. So I had a lightbulb moment – what if I cooked it risotto-style to feed a crowd?!

The result? Pure magic. By cooking short pasta (I use ditalini!) slowly in chicken broth, you get an ultra-creamy, luscious texture without any cream. Just simple Italian ingredients: Pecorino Romano cheese, fresh black pepper, butter, and good olive oil.

Here's what makes this amazing:
✨ Feeds a crowd (perfect for dinner parties!)
✨ Only 7 ingredients, but packed with flavor
✨ Takes 30 minutes but worth every second
✨ Creamy without any cream

The key? Using the BEST ingredients – fresh ground black pepper and quality extra virgin olive oil make all the difference. And cooking that pepper in the oil at the beginning? That's what gives it that signature cacio e pepe punch!

Pro tip: Dice those onions super small so they don't overpower each bite. Trust me on this one

Black Forest Cupcakes are the ultimate delight! R Black Forest Cupcakes are the ultimate delight!

Rich chocolate cupcakes stuffed with amaretto-roasted cherry compote, topped with fresh whipped cream and a chocolate-dipped cherry. They're basically the fancy cupcake version of the classic German cake, and they're absolutely stunning!

Here's what you need to know:
✨ Made with FRESH cherries (it's their peak season!)
✨ Amaretto instead of Kirsch for better flavor
✨ Three delicious components: cake + filling + topping
✨ Easier than they look – just takes some time

Fun fact: The chocolate represents the Black Forest, while the red and white represent traditional colors worn by women of that region. How beautiful is that? 

These are perfect for gatherings, BBQs, or whenever you want to impress someone with an elegant dessert. Multiple people said these were devoured within 2 days – and I totally believe them!

Pro tip: Make sure everything is completely cooled before assembling, or you'll have a melty mess on your hands

These beauties are perfectly soft, subtly sweet, and paired with the most incredible whipped pumpkin butter (butter + pumpkin + cinnamon + honey = heaven!).
