OMG. Are you salivating yet? (I am. For sure.)

It's true what they say, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. And presenting your husband, father, son, or whoever the dad in your life may be with a slice of this pie will let him know that you love and appreciate him more than words can say.

Who needs a sappy greeting card when you make dad a dessert as ridiculously good as this one?

Who can resist a really awesome "everything but the kitchen sink" chocolate chip cookie? And when I say "everything," I mean semi-sweet chocolate chips, oatmeal, M&M's, and pecans. Of course the usual suspects -- white and brown sugar, all-purpose flour, baking soda and powder, etc. -- too.

The result: Absolutely delectable and totally adorable Cowgirl Cookies. The pink M&M's are what make them girly, but you can easily swap those out for whatever color(s) you wish. How cute for a baby or wedding shower?!

I love food cooked on the grill, but I hate actually USING the grill, because I have such a hard time figuring out when the grilled meat is DONE! It's not so difficult with seafood like shrimp or even salmon, but when it comes to a nice steak or -- hardest of all -- chicken breasts, my cooking is totally hit or miss. What's the secret?

Since my husband has cottoned on to the fact that I do actually know how to operate the grill and therefore can't try to shirk grilling duty on to him all the time (rats!), I decided to do some research and solve the mystery once and for all. But first I should probably confess my horrible grilling technique ...

I'm just a little bit obsessed with cocktails. NOT because I'm a lush -- I'm a lightweight, so I can't indulge very much at all. It's for the silliest reason: I just love the way they look. All those special glasses, and the way the light shines through the liquid inside. 

Okay, I also love the taste of a great cocktail, too. There are so many possibilities -- it's endlessly inspiring. But again, I'm a lightweight. The answer? Light, fruity drinks that guild your summer afternoons and nights. Add a little seltzer water, or a lot, to any of these recipes and you can enjoy that drink a lot longer (admiring it there in your hand) without getting totally sauced. Here's eight beautiful summer drinks for sipping.

Rice Krispies treats are a classic dessert that kids adore, but this kicked-up version with a secret ingredient will have adults screaming for more. Not only is there chocolate, there's also Kahlua. That's right -- alcoholic, chocolate chip Rice Krispies Treats. What could be better?

Don't worry, there's not that much in there. The following recipe from Simply Scratch only calls for a 1/4 cup in the whole batch. That little bit, however, adds the perfect pop of flavor that makes them sinfully good. They're easy to make too -- the most difficult part is keeping the kids away from them.

When it comes to camping, some like to rough it a little bit more than others. Personally, I'm fine giving up some luxuries, as long as my meals consist of more than trail mix. 

There's something about eating a hearty meal out under the stars that just makes everything more delicious. While hot dogs and s'mores are easy standard fare, there are plenty of other great dishes you can make over a campfire that won't make you miss your stove at all. Here are eight of the best campfire recipes of all time.

Think your Crock-Pot is only for meats and veggies? Think again. The slow cooker is great for all kinds of recipes, sweet and savory alike. Take this amazing Crock-Pot brownie recipe, for example. If you think you make warm, gooey brownies now, just wait 'til you try these.

When the weather gets warmer, we tend to see the same desserts over and over. And while they're incredibly delicious (I mean, seriously, who doesn't like ice cream?), we ought to mix it up a bit. These Homemade Apple Pie Candy Apples are the perfect thing to bring to a barbecue or party when you just can't stomach another Flying Saucer.

And the best part? They're incredibly fun to make with the kids!
