More About This Recipe

Spring has sprung and it's time to jam!

It’s this time of year that I love to drive with the windows down listening to some of my favorite songs. And by “listening to,” I mean singing along. (For the sake of others, I am usually alone when this happens.)

Luckily, I’m a better cook than singer, so I’m tuning into my spring play list for some foodie inspiration. Join me, will you?

Song: Red Solo Cup

Artist: Toby Keith

Even if you aren’t a country music fan, you have to appreciate this song—especially if you are currently in or have ever attended college. The obvious choice is to enjoy this song with a nice, cold brew. But if you’re in a baking mood, whip up a loaf of beer bread to munch on. Or try one of these varieties:

Buffalo Wing Beer Bread
Beer Bread with Cheese

Song: Moves Like Jagger

Artist: Maroon 5

Some critics have accused this song of being too “pop-y.” Well, that’s fine with me! I like the pop sound—and I like to eat popcorn while watching the lead singer of Maroon 5 on “The Voice,” too. ;)

You Be the Judge Popcorn Mix

Song: Friday Night

Artist: Katy Perry

If there was ever a song to drink your dinner to, it’s this one! A perfect tune for starting a girls’ night right. One or more of these fun, girly cocktails is a must:

Blow Pop Martini
Marshmallow Cake-tini Cocktail
Clementine Cocktail

Song: Rolling in the Deep

Artist: Adele

This is a heavy song about heartbreak. (But it has to be included on my playlist because it is so fun to belt out in the car). This song calls for some heavy comfort foods, and I’ll turn to Adele’s country of origin for inspiration from some traditional English dishes:

Bangers and Mash Hand Pies

Ground Beef Shepherd's Pie with Cheesy Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Freshly Brewed Tea

Song: Sexy and I Know It

Artist: LMFAO

This song has a great beat for dancing, and it’s also prime for working out. In fact, I feel like I can exercise forever when this tune comes on, so I’m pairing it with some healthy post-exercise smoothies.

Up and At 'Em Fruit Smoothie

Peach-Berry Smoothie

Granola Berry-Banana Smoothie

Song: Till the World Ends

Artist: Britney Spears

Britney is back, and I couldn’t be happier about it. Even though she’s cleaned up her act, I still have tabloid pictures in my head of her carrying around huge iced coffee drinks & junk food. I think this song calls for some coffee-inspired treats:

Hazelnut Coffee Coolers
Mexican Coffee Popsicles
Creamy Coffee Filled Brownies

Song: Chicken Fried

Artist: Zac Brown Band

The ultimate in down-home tunes cries out for some traditional Southern grub.

Hushpuppies
Hot 'n Spicy Fried Chicken
Cheesy Grits

Song: Safe & Sound (From The Hunger Games Soundtrack)

Artist: Taylor Swift

The Hunger Games books and movie are hot, hot, hot right now! It’s easy to be inspired to cook by reading the book and listening to the soundtrack. Let Katniss’ favorite lamb stew inspire you to whip up some stew of your own. Or have your own The Hunger Games party by simply renaming these awesome dishes to celebrate Capitol-style:

Apple & Cheese Tart
Prim’s Basil Goat Cheese Bites
The Capitol’s Orange Chicken
Everdeens’ Fish Stew

Song: Need You Now

Artist: Lady Antebellum

This group’s Grammy for Best Country Album was well deserved. And this is my favorite of all their songs. It definitely calls for something sexy. Like chocolate.

Dark Chocolate Mousse
Chocolate Mousse
Chocolate Cherry Martini

Song: We Are Young

Artist: Fun, ft. Janelle Monáe

This is the ultimate spring anthem, so raise a glass...or a jelly shot:

Sparkle Magic Jelly Shot
Double Rainbow Cake Jelly Shot
Lucky-tini Jelly Shot
Watermelon Basil Martini Jelly Shots

Wishing you a spring season full of good tunes and tasty bites!
