I eat an apple pretty much every single day, and my husband does too....

First you’ll need to gather some household supplies. Some people will tell you that you have to have special egg-blowing tools with special egg-blowing names. This is a sham.

These Italian Tortellini Skewers with Pesto Drizzle are fantastic as the centerpiece of a finger food dinner or a summer appetizer platter.

I put them in my high-powered blender VERY quickly, like 2-3 pulses (more than that and it turns into peppermint powdered sugar....
