A fruity smoothie filled with some of my favorite fruits- strawberries, watermelon, pineapple and mango. I am admittedly close-minded / boring / so out of touch when it comes to smoothies. I only ever use fruit, and certainly never have added anything green. I know I'm probably missing out on [...]
I realize that I'm focusing on fall a little early, but I hope you'll forgive me. It's my favorite time of year, and it seems to go by way too quickly. In the fall, one of the most comforting flavor combinations (other than pumpkin with almost anything) is caramel and apple.
This is a pitcher full of fall flavor- sangria made with spiced apple cider, white wine, and cognac. Plus, it's easy and delicious, to boot. The week has only just begun, but if you're at all like me you're already looking ahead to the weekend. And if you know [...]
A couple weeks ago I wrote an article about hosting a fall cocktail party. To be honest, other than pumpkin beer (which I can't get enough of), I find it hard to create cocktails for the fall. So I challenged myself to come up with a few unique recipes.
Well friends, another week is almost over. The way I look at it, we're one week closer to summer. And speaking of summer, there's nothing I love more than chilling out on the weekend with the sun shining, my shades on, and a big ol' glass of sangria in my hand.
Pineapple, orange and lime juices come together in this non-alcoholic version of a favorite cocktail. Not surprisingly, whatever I eat, my toddler wants to eat. Whatever I drink, my toddler wants to try. So when we have a glass of wine or a cocktail, he starts wondering where his drink is.
We are about to have the best weather we have had yet this weekend! Bright and sunny and, dare I say... hot! So hot that Debbie is opening up her pool. THIS is a momentous occasion. It means the beginning of summer, the start of pool party season, and poolside cocktails.
I'm getting serious about holiday cheer. And this is the first step - a huge mug full of lovin'. !!!!!!!!!! Dessert and comfort in a cup. That's what we are doing. You know when I made the smoky bacon almond brittle and told you about the bourbon bacon cookbook I found a few months ago?

Debbie and I have recently discovered hard iced tea in cans called "Hey Y'all's". They are our new favorite store-bought cocktails as they are not super sweet and have a great tea flavor. It was these cocktail-in-a-can drinks that inspired us to try making a tea based cocktail for ourselves and I have to say that these are 100 times better than the canned version.
