When I think of holiday desserts I think of apple and pumpkin pies, sugar cookies covered in french icing and bread pudding.

I just hear the word pie or bread pudding and all I want to do is cuddle up in front… Continue reading Apple Bread Pudding Bites with Whiskey Sauce

A few days ago I was lucky enough to attend a cocktail tasting and the release of a brand new cocktail cookbook: Latin Twist. Of course I was first in line. I mean, what could be better than cocktails with a Latin twist? Why sampling those cocktails of course. You may be wondering what a… Continue reading Mojito – 2 Ways
Triple Chocolate Hatch Chili
I know a big bowl of chili seems like an odd choice when it’s 200° outside, but there are two events happening this week that are chili worthy: Labor Day is today and football season officially starts.

Roasted Grape and Fig Relish
My family and I just can’t get enough of all the fresh summer fruits available right now.

Turns out the guys over at… Continue reading Roasted Grape and Fig Relish

Blackeyed Pea Orecchiette Pasta
Anyone out there a fan of blackeyed peas? I am. Or rather, I am now. Up until a couple months ago I’d never even tasted the delectable little beans. But thankfully Melissa’s Produce changed all that when they sent me some of their Steamed Blackeyed Peas for New Year’s. I loved them so much I… Continue reading Blackeyed Pea Orecchiette Pasta
