Summer is in FULL SWING here. We are hitting a record breaking heatwave in the ICT and there is no end in sight. Like over 100 degrees for the next 10+ days or more, no end in sight. Basically the only want to stay cool is to be inside in the AC or floating inContinue reading “Bourbon Basil Peach Lemonade Freeze”

Blood Orange Mule
Every year I am absolutely obsessed with blood oranges when they come into season. The color is STUNNING and the juice adds a lovely bit of sweet citrus to cocktails. One of my favorite ways to use the juice is in a Moscow Mule. To enjoy these year round I juice a large batch ofContinue reading “Blood Orange Mule”
Mr. Black 43
This week I turned 42. It was fabulously unremarkable and wonderful. I firmly believe in surrounding yourself with people who grant your wish of a comfy, cozy, relaxed birthday. I mention said birthday because my sister gifted me a bottle of Mr. Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur for the occasion. Although I may be theContinue reading “Mr. Black 43”
Pickled Red Onions
In my opinion no Mexican food meal is complete without pickled red onions. The tang of vinegar and tiny hint of heat not only pairs well with tacos and nachos, but I love it on scrambled eggs, pizza, ahi tuna, you name it! They are a cinch to make and you can keep them inContinue reading “Pickled Red Onions”
Kombuchatini
Kombucha + Vodka= Kombuchatini. Like any woman that lived early adulthood vicariously through the wildly glamorous ladies of Sex and the City, I just finished watching And Just Like That. As any true fan of the franchise would. Love it…or hate it, I know we’re all here for it. Catching up with our favorite NYCContinue reading “Kombuchatini”
Caramelized Onion & Bacon Quiche
Quiche is such a versatile meal. I love it for breakfast and brunch, but it also comes in clutch for an easy dinner. You can add pretty much any meat, vegetable, and cheese you like, mix with a custard, pour it in a crust, and bake. BOOM. Dinner! This version is very decadent. Sweet caramelizedContinue reading “Caramelized Onion & Bacon Quiche”
Chicken and Dumplings
Do you ever make a meal because it reminds you of someone? When you eat it, you can almost feel that person with you? Growing up my grandmother from Texas made chicken and dumplings on very rare occasions. From scratch, so delicious! A meal that will always remind me of her and her kitchen. ThisContinue reading “Chicken and Dumplings”
Roasted Tomato & Red Pepper Soup
My lovely next door neighbor dropped off a big bag of tomatoes from her backyard plants. We are nearing the end of the season and she was kind enough to share some of the last of her bounty. I wasn’t sure how I wanted to use them and then thought, SOUP. To bump up theContinue reading “Roasted Tomato & Red Pepper Soup”
Panang Curry
I LOVE Thai food. LOVE. A couple years ago I traveled to Thailand for vacation and it was hands down the most amazing place I have traveled so far. Panang Curry is one of my all time favorite Thai meals and it is surprisingly easy to make. Forget takeout when you can make this classicContinue reading “Panang Curry”
Smoky Margarita
Last weekend I experimented with making a smoked simple syrup. YES. Smoked. Simple. Syrup. The smoker was on duty for some meatloaf (I can do a separate blog post about that later!) and figured why not pop on some simple syrup and see what happens. I have some lessons learned, but overall the result wasContinue reading “Smoky Margarita”
