Now that the days are heating up, I’m doing a lot of cooking outside, which translates to me making a lot of things on the grill. Steaks, burgers, chicken… you name it. And while all those proteins are delicious, they need something to go with them. A salad is a great choice, but when you’re… Continue reading Ramen Coleslaw
The Aviation Cocktail and an Anniversary
If you were following my Instagram updates last Saturday night you know that my husband and I were celebrating our 9th anniversary. I can’t believe it’s been nine years. A lot’s happened. In that time we bought and refurbished a house, have had two children (both boys) and I started this blog. It’s been an… Continue reading The Aviation Cocktail and an Anniversary
Breakfast Salad and a Trip to Camp
While most people were dusting off their barbecues for Memorial Day weekend and spending it with their families, I did something different. I went to camp. Camp Blogaway actually – a camp dedicated to food, food bloggers and everything food related with some hiking and s’mores thrown in. I went two years ago as well… Continue reading Breakfast Salad and a Trip to Camp
Bacardi Cocktail
A few weeks ago I posted a recipe for the classic Daiquiri. So today, I thought I’d mix up that other rum cocktail that often gets confused with the daiquiri – the Bacardi. You’re probably thinking “Jenn, that’s a brand of rum”. And you’d be right. But trust me, it’s also a cocktail. The Bacardi… Continue reading Bacardi Cocktail
Kale Pesto Mac & Cheese
For the past couple months I’ve been a juicing maniac. Between being tired of cereal and trying desperately to lose those last five pounds of baby weight, I thought juicing might just be the ticket. Since I have an awesome juicer I love, and what there’s all those fruits and veggies available at my farmer’s… Continue reading Kale Pesto Mac & Cheese
Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch Granola Bars
A few weeks ago General Mills was nice enough to send me a few boxes of cereal. I was ecstatic because I love General Mills cereals, especially Cheerios. See, I’ve never been much of a sugar cereal girl and since Cheerios are low in sugar and have a great crunch, they’ve always been my first… Continue reading Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch Granola Bars
Gomme Syrup
Today’s post isn’t a cocktail. I know what you’re thinking. “Wait, it’s Friday! Where’s my cocktail? I need my cocktail!” Well, the good news is there are plenty on this blog to choose from including this one which uses the subject of today’s post. Yes, it’s Gomme Syrup. What’s gomme (or gum) syrup you ask?… Continue reading Gomme Syrup
Strawberry Brownies
As you may have noticed from previous posts of mine, I love strawberries. I can eat them by themselves for a snack, blended up in a cocktail, or as part of an entreé. But my favorite way to eat them is as a dessert. I love them in cakes and pies but I especially love… Continue reading Strawberry Brownies
Bananas Foster French Toast
If you’re a mom like me, then you know that this Sunday is Mother’s Day. And if you’re anything like me, you can’t wait! Why? Well because for one day out of the year, you won’t have your family wondering “What’s for breakfast?” or “What’s for dinner?”. They won’t be wondering what they’re eating because… Continue reading Bananas Foster French Toast
Daiquiri
While most people are making margaritas this weekend for Cinco de Mayo, I thought I’d post that other cocktail you find so often in Mexican restaurants. No not the Strawberry Daiquiri, the plain old Daiquiri. But believe me when I tell you that the original Daiquiri is anything but plain. It’s got punch. It’s got… Continue reading Daiquiri
Tequila-Marinated Chicken for Cinco de Mayo
It’s that time of year again: when every Mexican restaurant and bar you can think of will be full of people drinking margaritas and eating tacos to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. But since I’m not a big fan of crowds, I prefer to celebrate these types of holidays at home. And since Cinco de Mayo… Continue reading Tequila-Marinated Chicken for Cinco de Mayo
