Recipe Of The Day: Peanut Butter & Jelly Sundae

Nothing takes you back to childhood faster than eating grown up versions of the classics you used to tear down on the daily. Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches, Bowls of Cereal by the boatload and Candy all come to mind when I think of the staples I kept close by as a kid.

Well today is National Sundae Day & we wanted to take you on a trip back to your youthful days, but also put a bit of a twist on this recipe to keep from feeling like your eating the same ol’ tired thing.

This PB & J Sundae is something we stumbled onto at a restaurant in Long Beach, CA actually and figured we needed to do this more often at our own spot.  Thanks to Sunnie Anderson for giving up the low down on this simple recipe.

This even goes down perfect w/ a cold glass of sweet Moscato wine.

Enjoy National Sundae Day!

Ice Cream Soda, All Grown up.

Summertime hits and everyone goes into slim & trim mode trying to get themselves looking right before the end of the season arrives. Usually people realize its too damn hot to be running around and working out, so they give up and go back to trying to staying cool while drinking lots of cold libations to stay fueled up.

A great treat that can be made at home for a fraction of the cost of what you find them for at stores is the always classic “Ice Cream Soda” not to be confused with the Rootbeer Float.

Today June 30^th, is National Ice Cream Soda Day.

Take a few moments, take yourself back your childhood and make a few of these for yourself and the kids.

If the Ice Cream Soda is going to be for yourself, kick it up a notch with a few dashes of flavored rum such as Bacardi Dragon Berry or any one of the million flavors offered up by Malibu.

Either way, enjoy this drink today, tomorrow and over the weekend when the temperatures are expected to reach 100. 

Whatever you choose to do, do it responsibly.
