I’ve got strawberry fever and the cure is to put them in EVERYTHING! This fruit-infused tea is a refreshing and summery Memorial Day treat well worth the 24 hour wait! Cold-brewed fruit-infused tea is great for using up all the weird tea left behind by our visiting parents. They buy different tea each visit yet never drink it because they …
My family informed me that today is World Gin Day. Apparently we have “days” for everything now-a-days but I think it’s just another excuse to drink more gin…. So while they are all drinking gin and tonics lakeside in Michigan without me, here’s to Gin and Tonic Day, and here’s to my crazy family! I …
I’ve written it before and I’ll write it again, my favorite Mexican restaurant in Nashville is Mas Tacos Por Favor. I bucked up last week and waited 30 minutes in the roast pork scented lunch line (worth it) for my carnitas tacos and tortilla soup and found them serving up a special summer treat: watermelon agua fresca. …
In prep for the big Irish Day, Bon Appétit emailed the masses a photo/recipe for a Guinness Affogato earlier this week. One quick read of the ingredients; Bailey’s Irish Cream, Guinness, espresso and ice cream, and I knew it was something I had to make and put it in my gob as soon as possible.
This weekend good friends helped to throw my Nashville baby shower for me. It was so nice to be surrounded by such thoughtful, lovely ladies! I thought I’d share some photos along with the sorghum cider punch recipe in which I didn’t imbibe but happily made for others to enjoy! The Hubs swore an expletive when he …
I’m not a fan of the Kentucky Derby or horse racing in general. However, knowing my bff’s sister who is a jockey plus my own sister who is a horse whisperer, I figure I’m definitely six degrees of separation away from the winning horse. It’s simple math, really. In honor of the Kentucky Derby this …
I must miss the tropical paradise of St. Martin just a wee bit, because I have seriously been craving Caribbean pineapple coconut drinks! With a forecasted low in the 30’s tomorrow morning, I’m hoping it’s possible to will Spring to arrive faster if I have a tropical drink in my hand. When I first made this …
Have you ever noticed how particular people are about their Martinis? Ordering a martini is very much like ordering coffee at Starbucks. I once heard a woman (whom I can only assume is a very complicated person) order a triple venti, sugar-free, non-fat, no foam, extra carmel, with whip, macchaito. Much like your favorite coffee, …
The Hubs and I usually kick off Friday nights with a dirty Gray Goose martini; extra dirt for me, extra olives for The Hubs. This past Friday, however, I realized we were out of The Goose. Whatever shall I do??? I foraged around in the deepest depths of the liquor cabinet and luckily found a …
The Nashville Farmer’s Market is another reason why I love my ‘hood. I went there yesterday in search of strawberries and blueberries for our morning smoothies, but instead found juicy Georgia peaches and blackberries so plump and huge that I bought them instead. Also, there were no strawberries or blueberries to be found. Where are …
