Tomorrow is National Chocolate Chip Cookie day. I love chocolate chip cookies. I’ve been eating them since I could hold one in my hand. Haven’s you? Do you remember the first time you tasted a chocolate chip cookie? How about the first time you made a batch with Mom? The chocolate chip cookie is that… Continue reading Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies

Gin & Tonic
I was going back through all my cocktail posts and I realized I’d never done the infamous G&T. You’re probably wondering why? I mean, I’ve got all the classics here. The Martini, the Manhattan, Bloody Mary, Mimosa, Margarita and the Mai Tai… and that’s just the M’s! If it’s got liquor and was made before… Continue reading Gin & Tonic
Golden Fizz Cocktail
After a couple weeks of rum-based cocktails I thought I’d switch things up and go back to another summer liquor: gin. If you’ve been following along, you know that I’m a big gin fan. Whether it be a martini, a gin rickey, or a negroni, if it’s got gin, most likely you’ll find me sipping… Continue reading Golden Fizz Cocktail
Cherry Blueberry Coffee Cake
It’s stone fruit season! I absolutely love stone fruits. This season is far and away my favorite time of year. It starts with cherries in May, then continues with apricots, peaches and plums all the way through October. I can never get enough. I buy as many pounds as I can and then make a… Continue reading Cherry Blueberry Coffee Cake
Watermelon Mojito
Yes, it’s another mojito recipe! But do you blame me? It’s summer! When I think of summer, I think of days at the beach, lounging at the pool, backyard barbecues and plenty of fun! And nothing goes better with summertime fun than a rum cocktail. Rum is one of of those liquors that just screams… Continue reading Watermelon Mojito
Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies
I know summer is the season of fruit, but every so often I need chocolate. I don’t care how hot it is. There are just times when nothing but a piece of dark chocolate or a bowl of chocolate ice cream will satisfy me. And when that craving hits, I open my cupboard, grab a… Continue reading Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies
Blueberry Coconut Mojito
Monday is July 4th. The day America celebrates its independence from England. I love the 4th of July. Backyard barbecues, block parties, fireworks and ice cold cocktails. Yeah, nothing goes better with a hot dog or hamburger than a beer. Unless it’s a cocktail. A cocktail that’s full of ice and bubbles. My favorite cocktail… Continue reading Blueberry Coconut Mojito
Ceviche Tostadas
When the weather turns hot, I like cool meals. It’s time for grilled proteins and pasta salads, poke and lettuce wraps, anything that’s chilled and filling. I don’t care if it’s cold fried chicken, steak salad or raw fish, if it’s cold and full or flavor, it’s all I want. One of my favorite choices… Continue reading Ceviche Tostadas
Parisian Cocktail
It’s officially summer and when it comes to cocktails that means 3 things: vodka, gin and rum. These are the liquors I like to imbibe when the weather turns warm. There’s just something about lighter liquors, especially when mixed with soda or champagne, that scream summer to me. And since the past two weeks have… Continue reading Parisian Cocktail
Beef Pad Thai
I’ve always been a big fan of Thai food. Chinese, Japanese, Korean… if there’s a wok, noodles, rice and some sort of protein, I’m all in. As a matter of fact, every time I make rice as a side dish, I always make extra so I can make fried rice later in the week. But… Continue reading Beef Pad Thai
Milano Torino Cocktail
Yes, it’s another Italian cocktail to commemorate my recent trip to Italy. But unlike last week’s spritz, this drink is definitely on the more bitter side. So, for all you Campari lovers out there, this one’s for you. Unlike my husband (and so many other people I know) I am not a Campari fan. It’s… Continue reading Milano Torino Cocktail
