Thanksgiving is next week. And while you’re probably all set with your food menu, what about the cocktails? If you’re anything like me, there will be plenty of red and white wine.

It’s the Stone Fence. If you are looking for a cocktail that epitomizes autumn, the Stone Fence would be it.… Continue reading Stone Fence Cocktail
Star Cocktail
November wouldn’t be November without at least one apple cocktail. While apples have been in season for over a month, this is the month when pumpkin recipes step aside and apple takes its place. Everywhere you look are apple recipes ranging from pies to pork chops. Apples go so well with so many different things,… Continue reading Star Cocktail
Orange Marmalade Pork
As the temperature starts to dip, I’ve been making heartier meals for dinner. Not only do I want to be warm on the outside, I want to be warm on the inside, too. These are the nights I want something warm and cozy in my belly. You know, comfort food. While mac & cheese or… Continue reading Orange Marmalade Pork
Apple Onion Tart
Every time I think fruit season is over, a new one begins with even better produce than the season before. Peach and berry season is almost over, and while I’m bummed to say good-bye to all those delicious stone fruits, apple season has just begun! I love apples almost as much as I love peaches… Continue reading Apple Onion Tart
Lemony Brisket with Pomegranate Gremolata
Monday was Labor Day and that usually means one of two things. The kids are finally back in school and Rosh Hashana is right around the corner. I love Rosh Hashana. It means apples and honey, challah and brisket, and plenty of wine. All that delicious food… I just can’t get enough. So, since Rosh… Continue reading Lemony Brisket with Pomegranate Gremolata

But with Halloween on Monday, the term takes on a much more ominous tone that usually involves said wife, murdering her husband. So, when I saw a drink called the Widow’s Kiss, I knew it’d be perfect for… Continue reading Widow’s Kiss

But it turns out there are plenty of vintage cocktails out there that have been around for decades and are aptly named for the… Continue reading Corpse Reviver #1
Tzimmes
There are three things that happen every Autumn: the leaves turn from green to pretty reds and oranges, pumpkin recipes start showing up on blogs everywhere and Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur happen. Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are the most important Jewish Holidays in the Jewish religion. Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish new year… Continue reading Tzimmes
Savoy Tango
I know I’m a day late (and a dollar short) but it’s been… well I won’t bore you with the details. Instead I’ll get to the important stuff, this week’s cocktail! I know I’ve been on a bit of a ginger beer kick lately, but what with it being fall, the ginger beer seems appropriate.… Continue reading Savoy Tango
Autumn Sausage and Apple Pie
A few months ago when fresh apples were just starting to show up at the farmer’s market, I decided to make a pie. But this wasn’t your standard apple pie. I wasn’t testing out desserts for Thanksgiving. Instead, I wanted to make a savory pie for dinner. Something that used the autumn fruit (hence the… Continue reading Autumn Sausage and Apple Pie
