Earlier this week I was lucky enough to be stung by a bee. Well, maybe lucky isn’t the best word to describe the situation; unlucky’s probably a better choice because let me tell you, if you’ve never been stung by a bee, IT HURTS! But anyway… something struck my as I watched that bee’s life… Continue reading Lemon Honey Creme Cupcakes with Basil Frosting

The Sidecar
I’ve never been a fan of orange liqueur. Grand Marnier? Blech! Cointreau? No thanks. Triple Sec? Only if it’s mixed into something. I like my oranges in either fruit or juice form. (Which is why I’m especially partial to the Screwdriver, but that’s for another post.) But just because I’m not a fan doesn’t mean… Continue reading The Sidecar
Mint Julep in honor of BHF11PP
Today is the first day of Blogher Food in Atlanta and I am not attending. Like last year, I’ll be attending the Pity Party instead. The pity party is made up of a bunch of bloggers from all over who weren’t lucky enough to score tickets to Blogher Food. So we tweet and party and… Continue reading Mint Julep in honor of BHF11PP
Greek Salad Kabobs
A few weekends ago I was up in the mountains for Camp Blogaway. In the main lodge was a networking table where the other “campers” could leave their business cards and/or other things for us to add to our swag bag. While I only had my cards on the table, several other campers had recipes,… Continue reading Greek Salad Kabobs
The Martini
When I first started classic cocktail Fridays, I wanted to do a martini since that’s my and my hubby’s cocktail of choice. The martini is a true classic. Not only has it been around since at least the beginning of the 20th century, the martini has maintained its classic status, just look at all the… Continue reading The Martini
Inspiration Amongst the Trees
A little over a week ago I went back in time. I attended camp. Yes, camp. You know, that place that has cabins full of bunkbeds lined with sleeping bags. The place where a hike in the mountains is called Tuesday, and every night ends with dinner and s’mores over an open fire. It was… Continue reading Inspiration Amongst the Trees
Zombie Cocktail
As I mentioned in my previous post Sunday is Mother’s Day. So in honor of all the moms out there, I bring you The Zombie cocktail. Now you’re probably wondering why on earth I’d pick the zombie to represent Mother’s Day. That’s easy. See, almost 2 years ago my son, Aidan, was born. And his… Continue reading Zombie Cocktail
Strawberry Stuffed French Toast for Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is this Sunday and if you’re like me you’re having a nice brunch with your family, mom included. My mother’s coming into town to help celebrate my son’s 2nd birthday which is the day before. I don’t remember the last time I spent Mother’s Day with my mom. Since she lives in northern… Continue reading Strawberry Stuffed French Toast for Mother’s Day
Champagne Float – A Float for Grownups
Who knew the death of a terrible terrorist would be the inspiration for a delightful new cocktail? You’ll have to excuse me. I know I said I was going to limit my cocktails to classics, but after last night’s awesome creation and spectacular news I had to break my rule. Friday things will go back… Continue reading Champagne Float – A Float for Grownups
Champagne Cocktail
Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you know that the Royal Wedding between Prince William and Catherine Middleton happened early this morning. So to celebrate, I’ve decided to bring you the Champagne Cocktail. I mean champagne is the cocktail of choice at most weddings, right? And this fancier version seems fitting for the Royal… Continue reading Champagne Cocktail
Bacon Mozzarella Scramble
A few weeks ago, I decided to go on a diet. Nothing too extreme, just trying to firm up some of my more flabby areas. As a new mom… okay, it’s not that new, actually my son is almost 2 years old; but it’s a good excuse. Anyway, as a mom it’s hard to get… Continue reading Bacon Mozzarella Scramble
