Welcome, I'm Donna!

Writer | Traveler | foodie | Mother

I’m a Gen X mom of four, a Marvel geek, wine nerd, writer, and creator of Dangerous Cupcake, a Southern California lifestyle blog about wellness in midlife. As my kids enter different stages of their lives, I get to do the same — learn a new instrument, get out and have fun, love Disney, try new adventures, and not let my age define anything. This stage of life is pretty amazing. I love being mom, wife AND Grammy, and midlife isn’t a bad word. Join me in changing focus and enjoying life during our next phase, without totally starting over. However you do it, life is short, live a little dangerously.

Dinner and a movie = fun family night. Tacos and b Dinner and a movie = fun family night. Tacos and bevs at Sancho’s Tacos Claremont followed by Close Encounters of the Third Kind at the Laemmle. Don’t wait until the weekend to get out and do the things! It’s easy to get into the habit of Monday through Friday being a work week but those are too many days to just focus on one thing. Life’s short, cram in as many family moments as you can.

It’s summer, and summer means ice cream! Try thi It’s summer, and summer means ice cream! Try this new Kettle Corn-Infused Vanilla Bean Ice Cream that you can easily make in your Ninja Creami. I used Hatch Pepper Kettle Corn from Melissa’s Produce and it was delicious, coming in at 375 calories and 38 grams of protein for the entire pint. I may or may not have eaten it for breakfast today.

I also share a rundown on Melissa’s Produce summer fruits and the summary of the Hatch Pepper recipe demo by Chef Tom Fraker, as well as Hatch Pepper fun facts, courtesy of Robert from Melissa’s! Another fun lunchtime foodie event inspired by the incredible pepper that is only available two months of the year.
Learn more about the Hatch Pepper’s origins, where to find it (beginning August 1) and how to roast and/or use them...but you do definitely want to try some roasted. You won’t be sorry.

Ready for a fresh new take on a spicy margarita? T Ready for a fresh new take on a spicy margarita? Try the new Elevated Mixers Limited Edition Spicy Mango Mix! It’s perfect if you want a tangy marg with a spicy kick!

This mixer is a blend of chamoy, lime, mango, fiery Chile, and organic agave, with just enough sweet to balance the heat. Shake it up with your favorite tequila, or if you’re like me and want to add an additional level of smoke, use mezcal.

The recipe I use is simple:

2 oz Spicy Mango Margarita Mix
2 oz Mezcal (I used El Silencio)
1 oz Mango-Orange Passionfruit Juice
Quick squeeze of lime juice

Throw it all in a shaker with a bunch of ice and pour into a rocks glass. If you want to take it up a notch, rim your glass in Tajin and drop in a slice or two of frozen jalapeños. (Steal from your stash if you like the new trend of Spicy Sauvignon Blanc!)

Head over to https://elevatedmixers.com/DANGERCUPCAKE to use my code for a discount! (Or use code DANGERCUPCAKE at purchase.) This is a limited edition so order soon!

Thanks, Elevated Mixers, for sending me the product to try! It was a hit on July 4!
