Since it’s still chilly everywhere except California, I’m bringing you another heavy cocktail. This one may not be hot, but it’s so rich and creamy it’ll make you feel like you’re wrapping your tummy up in a nice cozy blanket. It is the Boston Flip. Why is it so rich and creamy? Why, the raw… Continue reading Boston Flip

Sweet Potato Bourbon Kugel for Thanksgivukkah
Yes, it’s true. Thanksgiving and Hanukkah coincide this year. It’s actually the second night of Hanukkah to be more specific. So since Christmukkah is such a big thing, why not have Thanksgivukkah? And since we’re combining the two holidays, why stick with the same old stuffing and sweet potato pie? Why not serve up a… Continue reading Sweet Potato Bourbon Kugel for Thanksgivukkah
Grumpy Old Man
Considering today is the day after Halloween, I thought there might be a lot of grumpy people out there dealing with some serious candy hangovers. I know I have one. And since “grumpy” is in this cocktail’s title, it seemed apropos. The good news is that making this cocktail won’t make you any grumpier than… Continue reading Grumpy Old Man
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
Boulevardier Cocktail
And we’re back! Last week I took a break from my weekly cocktail post so I could participate in Lucky Leaf’s virtual summer potluck. So, if you were concerned that I would no longer be making retro cocktails and sharing their history with you, don’t fret because today it’s back to our regularly scheduled programming.… Continue reading Boulevardier Cocktail
Bourbon Peach Tres Leches Cake
I’ve been wanting to make this cake since I first saw the recipe for a boozy berry tres leches cake in Fine Cooking last year. If you know me, you know that I love my booze. While it’s ideal mixed up in a cocktail, alcohol is also wonderful when mixed into desserts or entrees. As… Continue reading Bourbon Peach Tres Leches Cake
Bourbon & Peach-Glazed Drumsticks dipped in Whole Grain Flakes
I’ve been waiting patiently for two things this year: the weather to turn warm and for peaches to finally be in season. Well, if you live anywhere in the U.S. you know the weather has turned warm. Insanely warm in fact. Seems we went from chilly to “oh, my god it’s friggin’ hot!” in a… Continue reading Bourbon & Peach-Glazed Drumsticks dipped in Whole Grain Flakes
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
Ward Eight Cocktail
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but both my parents are from Massachusetts. While I was born right here in sunny Southern California, I spent my formative years traveling back and forth to the east coast visiting relatives and learning all about this country’s birth in the actual place where it happened. Paul… Continue reading Ward Eight Cocktail
Whiskey Sour Cocktail
I’m a big fan of bourbon. But having tried numerous different kinds over the past year due to all the different cocktails I’ve concocted, I’ve come to discover that so far Woodford Reserve is my favorite. Now I know there are plenty more out there that I have yet to try, but this is what… Continue reading Whiskey Sour Cocktail
Mini Vanilla Cupcakes with Bacon Bourbon Cream
Last year I was lucky enough to attend Charlie Palmer’s Pigs & Pinot event in Healdsburg. If you don’t know about Pigs & Pinot, it’s a weekend long charity event that’s devoted to pinot noir and pork. While it lasts all weekend, hubby and I only attended the Taste of Pigs and Pinot which is… Continue reading Mini Vanilla Cupcakes with Bacon Bourbon Cream
