“I use jackfruit because it’s a whole food that’s not highly processed,” Dugan says. The mild flavor and meaty texture of this tropical tree fruit make for great tastes. It pulls into shreds and absorbs the spice flavors. It shapes into patties and holds together well during cooking.

Cocktails are Go owners, Matt and Beth Sorrell are masters of the cocktail, so much that they built a business around creating beautiful works of tasteful art in a glass.

My love for the Snickers Bar runs deep. My sass of a grandma was the absolute best. I keep her with me every day - her wedding ring is next to mine (ask to see it sometime!), and next to this priceless band, I learned many life lessons from her: buy, don't shop; go to the party; when the phone conversation is over, it's ok to just hang up (still can't get that one), laugh, I mean really, authentically laugh, and treat yourself. She always had a bag of snack-sized Snickers (The real 2-bite snack sized Snickers, not those silly little nubs they pass on as snack-size now) on the top of her 5-foot icebox. I'd bee-line to that when we visited. Years move along and life happens. Soon, you're under a deadline to create a recipe for a Valentine's Day TV segment and you blank. I always gravitate toward chocolate, dates and peanut butter; they are a staple in my fridge at the shop. I know there are a lot of peanut butter filled dates out there, but I've never tried this concoction. I figure, I know what they all individually taste like, why do I need to mash them? Consider them mashed and HOLY MOLY! It's my Snickers! Add a little glitter and a memory of someone you can remember clear as day who you shared this with, and enjoy your Valentine's Day. Mine is much sweeter now. xo
