This Thai spice sweet tea is lighter, more refreshing, and less sweet than traditional Thai iced tea. Red rooibos and black tea steep with cardamom, star anise, cloves, and cinnamon. Topped with coconut milk, there's no better drink to serve with spicy food.

Waffles
This waffle recipe is the only one you'll need to make homemade waffles with your waffle iron. Simple pantry ingredients mix up quickly in this easy batter that can be used right away or stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Serve waffles hot with whipped cream and fresh fruit or with butter and maple syrup for either breakfast, brunch, or a snack.
Tuna Ball
There's nothing fancy about a tuna ball, but it tastes great at parties and other get-togethers. Chopped pecans give this blend of tuna, cream cheese, and onion a light crunch. I love this appetizer with veggies and crackers.
Hot Mulled Wine
This mulled wine recipe is easy to make and always a hit at holiday get-togethers, especially if it's a really cold, blustery day. It's best to use a full-bodied red wine, such as Malbec or a fruity claret.
