A few weeks ago, San Francisco found itself in the middle of a big heat wave. Everyone at the Sugar HQ was melting to their desks and in need of a cool treat. That's when I remembered an impromptu purchase I'd made the week before.I was at the local drugstore and noticed a display of Soda Pops Freezer Pops at the front counter. They were like old-school Otter Pops, only in soda flavors: Orange Crush, Dr Pepper, 7-Up, and A&W Root Beer. I kind of have a thing for Dr Pepper, so I picked up a pack of those. At only $2 a box (10 pops in each box), I probably should have picked up one of each kind. But I didn't, and we only had the Dr Pepper to taste. So how did it taste? Find out when you read more
Last night was the premiere of the Food Network's cooking reality show, The Next Food Network Star. I thought it was an interesting, surprising first episode. This season's characters seem more credible than last year's contestants and I'm excited to check out what happens. I love how Bobby Flay has permanently joined the judging panel. How about you, what did you think of the episode? Did you understand Lisa's cooking philosophy? Wasn't it humorous that the comedian was NOT at all funny? Is Giada de Laurentiis threatened by uber perky, perfect for Food Network Kelsey? Did you even watch?
Whenever I make a grilled vegetable salad, I make sure to grill up an extra batch of veggies. Filled with flavor, these vegetables are excellent on pizzas, in quesadillas, or mixed into pasta salads. However, the best way to highlight the essence of the grilled vegetable is to make a stacked sandwich.
In this recipe the bread is coated with a quick, homemade pesto and the veggies are topped with melt-in-your-mouth mozzarella. To learn how to make a grilled veggie sandwich, please read more
When I was barbecuing with my dad on Memorial Day, I noticed that our BBQ tongs were a little rusty. The start of summer is definitely a good time to invest in a new pair, so I asked you to help me find some. You looked for long handled tongs that are sturdy, reliable, and functional. You saved your finds in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, BBQ Tongs. The tongs I plan on purchasing are these professional grade chef's tongs that fashionista119 discovered. They're made of thick stainless steel, have an easy to grip handle, and can be hooked onto the side of the grill.

When piled high on a plate, a salad of grilled veggies is just as hearty as a slab of steak. Grilling the vegetables is a great way to bring out their full, rich flavor.
This salad is packed with thickly cut zucchini, eggplants, and peppers. A quick lemon vinaigrette adds a tart freshness and a sprinkling of goat cheese adds a lush creaminess. Serve with a cold beer and a chunk of grilled, crusty bread for a delicious dinner. To take a look at the recipe, read more
This soup ends up being a good source of three blood pressure-lowering minerals since the milk adds calcium and the potatoes deliver a dose of potassium, as well as magnesium.
