It’s that time of year again. No not Halloween, October Unprocessed! As in past years, I took the pledge and am taking extra care with what I cook. What does this mean to me? It means I’m paying extra close attention to the ingredients in the groceries I buy. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always… Continue reading Salty Dog

Gin Rickey
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
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
Negroni
I’ve been dying to make a couple cocktails with Campari for awhile now. Between the label on the bottle, the color of the spirit, and the fact that it’s been around since the late 1800’s, I thought it would be another cocktail with a subtle fruity taste. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Campari, which… Continue reading Negroni
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
Diamond Fizz Cocktail
I was pulling my hair out this week trying to decide what vintage cocktail to bring you. Should I do a whiskey drink? What about vodka? Or maybe gin. But then I remembered that the Academy Awards are this Sunday, so I thought I should do something a little fancier. How can a cocktail be… Continue reading Diamond Fizz Cocktail

I know what you’re thinking… another frou frou drink for the ladies to help celebrate Valentine’s Day. Well, have I got a surprise for you. While the name and color may evoke smirks and giggles, this drink is anything but girly. Yes, it’s true – I chose this week’s classic cocktail because of it’s pink… Continue reading Pink Lady Cocktail
Martinez – The Perfect Father’s Day Cocktail
I’ve been missing the past few weeks because the newest member of our family has finally arrived. Yes, Thomas Julian has finally made his presence known after nine long months of stretching and wiggling around inside me. He was well worth the wait as everything has been going swimmingly thus far. (I know it’s only… Continue reading Martinez – The Perfect Father’s Day Cocktail
Bronx Cocktail
The Cosmopolitan is one of my favorite cocktails. The bright pink color, the combination of triple sec, vodka and cranberry juice, it really is the perfect cocktail. And that’s not just because Carrie and all her friends were drinking them on Sex and the City. I was a fan waaaaaaay before that show made the… Continue reading Bronx Cocktail
Corpse Reviver # 2 Cocktail
Today is Friday the 13th. I know, I know, you just want to pull the covers up over your head and pretend this day doesn’t exist. But unfortunately it does. So rather than avoid that black cat or those ladders, why not grab a rabbit’s foot, throw some salt over your shoulder and head out… Continue reading Corpse Reviver # 2 Cocktail
Pimm’s Cup Cocktail
As you may (or may not) have noticed, my recent posts took you on a trip to New Orleans. I covered food and cocktails and so, to continue with the theme I thought I’d do a drink that’s not only a classic, but classically the Big Easy: the Pimm’s Cup. Now, I’m not a big… Continue reading Pimm’s Cup Cocktail
