Since we’re still smack dab in the middle of citrus season, I thought I’d continue with the Sour cocktails this week. So, today I’m bringing you the Pisco Sour. While I’m not usually a fan of the sour beverages because they are so sour, the Pisco is actually pretty sweet. The sweetness can most likely… Continue reading Pisco Sour
Grilled Onion Beer Bread
Superbowl’s in a couple weeks and if you’re anything like me, you’re either having a party or attending one. The Superbowl is far and away my favorite holiday. I know it isn’t really a holiday, but with all the parties, food and drinking it sure seems like one, and I love it! Hubs and I… Continue reading Grilled Onion Beer Bread
Gin Sour
We’re right in the middle of citrus season. That means lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruits are overflowing at the grocery stores and farmers markets. With so many to choose from, you don’t have to get just a lemon or an orange. Now you can get an Eureka or Meyer lemon or a Cara Cara or… Continue reading Gin Sour
Slow Cooker Meatballs
My husband hates meatballs, meat loaf… even super thick hamburgers. He always says they’re too heavy for him, too thick, you get the picture. But the boys and I love meatloaf and meatballs, so I still try and make them occasionally, especially since spaghetti and meatballs are my sons’ favorite. Well, recently I found a… Continue reading Slow Cooker Meatballs
Esky’s Hot Spot
I know the holidays are over but it’s still cold outside. When I’m cold I like drinking (or eating) something hot, something comforting; and nothing is more comforting than a hot cocktail. Okay, maybe mac & cheese. I used to think that once the holidays were over there was no need for hot cocktails anymore.… Continue reading Esky’s Hot Spot
Holland Razor Blade
I know Fridays are usually my cocktail days, but since today is New Year’s Day and the day after New Year’s Eve, I thought I’d change things up and post my cocktail today. See, I had a feeling there might be a few of you who’d need a pick me up. You know… a drink… Continue reading Holland Razor Blade
Blackeyed Peas with Bacon and Pork
Eating blackeyed peas on New Year’s Day is supposed to bring you good luck for the year, so a lot of people eat them as a side or as the main dish. One of the most popular choices out there is Hoppin’ John which is a blackeyed pea dish that’s made with ham hocks and… Continue reading Blackeyed Peas with Bacon and Pork
French 75
Wednesday is New Year’s Eve and now that Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinners are out of the way we can focus on what’s really important – cocktails for New Year’s Eve! While straight champagne served up in a flute is the standard choice for New Year’s, there’s no rule book that says you can’t… Continue reading French 75
White Russian
I know the White Russian isn’t really considered a holiday drink, but it’s white-ish and it’s made with 2 different kinds of alcohol so I thought it would fit with this festive season. The fact that it’s super easy to mix up, makes it a no brainer for those last few holiday parties. The White… Continue reading White Russian
Night Cap
No, I’m not inviting you over for a late night snuggle. (That would require a question mark after the title.) Believe it or not, that’s really the name of today’s cocktail. You will want to sip it with the person you love, though because it’s warm and snuggly and absolutely perfect for this time of… Continue reading Night Cap
Rice Krispie Cherry Balls
I’ve never been a big fan of Rice Krispie treats. They were always too sweet. Too sticky. Too time consuming. And that was the main problem. Two boys means I just don’t have the time to stand over the stove stirring marshmallows for an hour. But then I discovered a recipe in Better Homes and… Continue reading Rice Krispie Cherry Balls
