Dragonfruit Quick Bread (Inspired by the Starbucks Dragon Drink)
Remember the ‘Pink Drink‘ craze from a few years ago? I recall lots of photos and mentions from customers drinking a milky pink beverage from Starbucks. Their cups were loaded with ice, coconut milk, and freeze-dried strawberries with their strawberry açaí as a base. That wasn’t the only rosy drink–Starbucks then launched the Dragon Drink, a brighter-colored refresher made with tropical fruits like dragon fruit and mango. Today, consumers can replicate these drinks using Starbucks Refreshers fruit concentrates. I recently got the opportunity to try the one that resembled the Dragon Drink, Mango Dragonfruit. It’s refreshing alright, and the vibrant…
Stiller’s Soda Review – Ben Stiller’s Low Calorie Carbonated Drinks
In the past few years there has been a steady stream of new and innovative sodas reaching grocery store shelves, like probiotic drinks and craft sodas with unique flavors.

Mock Pecan Pie Recipe (No Nuts!)
Some of the best recipes come from the most unexpected places. This one came from a piece of notepad paper — the kind with a pharmaceutical letterhead — tucked inside one of the recipe binders belonging to my late grandmother. The letterhead made sense: she spent a lot of her final years in and out of doctor’s offices. The recipe was simply labeled “Mock Pecan Pie,” sometimes also called No Pecan Pie, and I didn’t realize something like that existed. As someone with a tree nut allergy, I’ve always had to skip traditional pecan pie at gatherings. So when I…
