A natural sweetener to stir into water, tea, oatmeal or yogurt; drizzle on toast & pancakes. Stove top or slow cooker. Canning instructions & gift labels.
Oh man, you need to find the nearest pool on the sunniest day and you need to make yourself one of these. Maybe three. You need to sit back, feel the sun hitting your skin, notice a breeze and take a sip. You will be transported.
Moist & delicious Strawberry-Rhubarb Muffins with Sweet Basil Glaze. These muffins are packed with fresh fruit and finished with a hint of basil. Perfect for summer! When Jorden and I were first married, we had visions of moving out of state, somewhere far away, and having a fun little adventure.
Simple tart vanilla bean frozen yogurt - top it with fruit for a super delicious dessert! A few summers ago, the husband and I (no babe yet) were at my sister-in-law's home for one of her amazing dinners. After dinner she made some type of fruity frozen yogurt that we all went nuts over.
If you like the bright, fresh taste of cilantro, you will love this Cilantro Margarita ! I recently asked for cocktail ingredient suggestions on my Facebook Page, and the witty, adorable Lilly Sue of Lilly Sue's Bites and Brews suggested cilantro.
This chicken satay salad has crunchy cabbage, bean sprouts, peppers and carrots, tossed in a sweet and spicy peanut-ginger sauce, and topped with grilled peanut-ginger chicken. No oven needed! Heya! I'm back from my 'holidays'. I say 'holidays' because holidays sure are different when you are traveling with a baby...as in: NOT relaxing.
Butter Tarts and I are making a 12-hour Midwest road trip, and only one of us is going to survive Iowa. Hint: It's probably not the personally-sized mini pies loaded with an ooey-gooey, buttery brown sugar filling. Butter tarts are an old fashioned Canadian dessert that I can compare most directly to a pecan pie.
Easter weekend might be a whole week away, but I figure it's never too soon to start spring brunching with friends. We could call it Friendster-get it? Like "Friendsgiving" but for spring... (and not like the late 90's social media website). Ok, maybe not. I can hear you groaning through the computer screen.
There are a few surefire signs of summer now that we're back at home in the good old US of A. First, the parentals go into gardening, planting, lawn-mowing overdrive.
Ashley English is one of a new classification of friends that entered my life a few years: Internet Friends. People who I know through their blogs and correspondence but have not yet met in person. Often these relationships become real-life friendships, but it hasn't happened yet with Ashley, we live in different parts of the country.
