Simple Tip: Heat Syrup in Hot Water
During our girls Winter weekend, my sister made the most delicious corn cakes with spicy sausage for breakfast. Since we were feeding a crowd, it was necessary to heat the entire bottle of maple syrup.
While you can easily heat syrup in the microwave, the best way to heat syrup or ice cream toppings is in a pot of hot water.
Shake Things Up For St. Patti's Day
One of the guys here at the Sugar HQ has been seriously craving milkshakes. He's talked about milkshakes so much that now I want one! Not just any old shake though, I'm hungry for a glorified adult one.

Moms Want the Ice Cream Man to Take a Hike
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! When youngsters hear that jingle far off in the distance announcing the ice cream truck's impending arrival, they screech for joy and run to their parents begging for cash and permission. On a hot day, many parents will be hard pressed to deny their child the joy of an orange Push-Up, a chocolate Chip-Wich, or a banana and fudge flavored Bullet.
Do You Exercise Just So You Can Indulge?
Exercise has many health benefits, but most people love that it burns calories. So that means it can help us lose weight, or it can prevent weight gain if we know we want to enjoy a hot fudge sundae later.
Tell me, is your main reason for exercising to be able to eat whatever you want and not have to worry about gaining weight?
Jelly Belly's Scents for Sweet Tooths
I've always admired Demeter Fragrance Library, the perfumer best known for bottling surprisingly good-smelling scents like Gin & Tonic, Laundromat, and Dirt. Now, Demeter has partnered with another company known for its rather wacky varieties: Jelly Belly.
The new Jelly Belly fragrance collection includes six scents inspired by popular flavors from the gourmet jelly-bean maker.
Beauty Copycat - Think Pink Like Lily
Love it or loathe it, Lily Allen's flamingo pink hair has certainly been getting a lot of attention from those first pics at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards to her recent (slightly grown-out) look in LA. Although it's a little bright for me, I salute Lily for daring to look different, and the bold colour actually really suits her skin tone and dark eyes.
If you're feeling brave - get the look at home with street-style brand Fudge's range of Paintbox, semi-permanent hair colours (£7.95).
Ben & Jerry's Breakdown
I love ice cream just about anytime of the year, but there's nothing more satisfying than spooning down some cold ice cream on a hot summer's day.
We all know that Ben & Jerry's ice cream is totally rich and decadent, and not exactly the healthiest thing on the planet. That's why it's great to know that they make healthier alternatives like Frozen Yogurt, Lighten Up (light ice cream and frozen yogurt with less fat, sugar, and calories), and Sorbets.
Do You Feel Like You're Storing up for Winter?
OK so winter is approaching and the squirrels are all stockpiling their nuts. Do you feel like you're stockpiling your calories too?
Winter foods can be packed with way more calories and fat than their summer counterparts.
Come Party With Me: Christmas Caroling
I know it may be a little old fashioned but I think it's time we bring back Christmas caroling. That's right, you guessed it, let's throw a Christmas caroling party. Invite a group of people over (we all know a few American Idol wannabes) then put on your big coats and head out into the cold to sing for your neighbors.
Review: Jelly Belly Collection by Demeter, Part II
After I introduced you guys to the Jelly Belly Collection by Demeter Fragrance Library, the perfumer was sweet enough to send me some samples of the six scents ($20 for each 1-ounce bottle). Overall, I think Demeter did a great job on this collection, creating wacky scents that translate into surprisingly wearable perfumes.
But while I really loved three of the scents, I was just so-so on the other three, so I've split my review into halves.
