My drink of choice has changed in the last few weeks. And believe it or not it’s not a cocktail. It’s just something to quench my thirst. I usually have ginger ale or juice when I want something to drink, but recently I’ve found myself craving, of all things, club soda. I’ll drink it straight… Continue reading Gin Rickey

(If you’re a cocktail fan, you want this book. So head on over here for your chance to win it.) But until I’d read… Continue reading Brandy Alexander
Fluffernutter Bars (#OXOGoodBrownie)
If you follow this blog, you know that I’m a huge OXO fan. But I don’t just love their products, I also love their Cookies for Kids’ Cancer campaign. Cookies for Kids’ Cancer is a program that was started by two OXO employees who were inspired by their own 2-year-old son’s fight with the disease. So… Continue reading Fluffernutter Bars (#OXOGoodBrownie)
The Alexander and a Giveaway
I first met Greg from Sippity Sup at Camp Blogaway a little over three years ago. He was already an established food blogger and Kitchy was barely a year old. We hit it off immediately. He had a lot of great advice, especially when it came to light boxes and photography because if you go… Continue reading The Alexander and a Giveaway
Planter’s Punch
Pretty cool glass, huh? Dorothy from Shockingly Delicious was nice enough to get it for me. She saw it and knew I could put a pretty cool drink into it. Not only was I touched by the thoughtfulness, I wanted to make something worthy of the glass. Since it has flamingos on it, I wanted… Continue reading Planter’s Punch
Honeyed Fig and Goat Cheese Tart
Fig season is here! Actually it’s been here for a couple months already. But I was so focused on peach season, I completely forgot about the figs. Well, I didn’t totally forget about them, I have been eating them raw by the basketful. But unlike the peaches, which I’ve been a fan of since, well,… Continue reading Honeyed Fig and Goat Cheese Tart
Nana’s Bourbon Peach Flan
I’ve talked a lot about peaches this summer. That’s mainly because I’m such a fan. So since summer’s coming to a close I thought I’d get a few more peach recipes in before the kids head back to school and peaches disappear for another year. This is a recipe my mother’s been making since I… Continue reading Nana’s Bourbon Peach Flan

Hatch Chile Ice Cubes and a Giveaway
Today I thought I’d spice things up a bit… literally. I know it’s usually my cocktail day, but since summer’s drawing to a close, I thought I’d do something that goes in one of those classic cocktails instead of the cocktail itself. Other than the liquor what could possibly go into a classic cocktail? Ice… Continue reading Hatch Chile Ice Cubes and a Giveaway
German Apple Pancake
One of my favorite weekend breakfast treats is the dutch baby. It’s easy, it’s delicious and it’s so versatile. This is a breakfast that’s a delicious treat year round. But it’s especially tasty in the summer when all the stone fruits and berries are in season. But what do you when you can’t find peaches,… Continue reading German Apple Pancake
Grilled Citrus Sangria
Since it’s been so hot, cold drinks have been at the top of my list these days and nothing’s better cold than a tall glass of sangria. You’re probably thinking “Sangria? “That’s not a classic cocktail. That’s something I order at the Mexican restaurant when I go out to eat.” While that’s true, it’s also… Continue reading Grilled Citrus Sangria
