About Me

My photo
This make-up artist and esthetician has a (bordering on unhealthy) addiction to all things beauty! No amount of eyeshadows or cream liners will ever be enough! I go giddy for all things girly. Lipgloss might not be able to heal the world, but it can lift a gal's spirits!

Fourth of July Recipes





Summer holidays in Baltimore just don't feel right without something involving crabs! If you're headed to a cookout & need to bring a dish- try one of these 2 fan favorites. I promise absolutely no guest will be crabby about it!



Summer Gazpacho Crab Soup {Souper Easy}



1/2 cup cucumbers


1 cup cherry tomatoes


1/4 cup yellow or green peppers


1/4 cup red onions


1/4 cup celery


1/4 cup pimento


3 tablespoons olive oil


2 tablespoons wine vinegar


lump crab meat



Finely chop all ingredients, place in container & top with tomato or V8 Juice. Chill. Immediately before serving- top with a dollop of sour cream & lump crab meat! Deliciously refreshing for an outdoor soiree!

I don't know any one who does not adore hot crab dip. Frankly I want to make out with it. Here's another super easy appetizer to whip up that tastes sinfully rich!



Hot Crab Dip



8 ounces cream cheese


8 ounce sour cream


1/2 lemon squeezed


3 heaping tablespoons mayo


3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce


1 package shredded cheese(Parmesan or Montery Jack-divided)


1 pound crab meat



Using softened cream cheese, fold all ingredients together(using only half the cheese) & place in a baking dish. Top with remaining cheese & sprinkle with a little garlic salt. Bake for 20-25 mins at 350 degrees. Savor with your favorite carbs of choice! Needless to say this dish is not for the lactose intolerant- ha ha! So what are my Beauties up to for the holiday weekend? I hope it's a blast- complete with fireworks!




Peace. Love. Lipgloss. M
