A fruity, refreshing summer bourbon cocktail with fresh pineapple Bourbon and pineapple are a ridiculously delicious combination. If you haven’t tried it yet, don’t knock it. Well unless you don’t enjoy bourbon or pineapple, in which case this is probably not the summer bourbon cocktail for you. BUT If you’re open to those flavors/ingredients, then this should […]
Summer salad with peach, burrata, and tomatoes I know, I know. Usually, Fridays are reserved for cocktail recipes. They’re such a great way to kick off the weekend. I get it. I love sharing cocktail recipes on Fridays, too! BUT, hear me out. Because it has been hot with a capital H O T here […]
Black Beauty Spritz: A Warm-Weather Coffee Cocktail This is a husband specialty. For real. He didn’t make up the cocktail recipe, though he did find it.

My favorite go-to iced latte recipe I get, at minimum, a handful of messages on Instagram every time I post a video of my morning iced latte on my stories — without fail. And, I think it may be because it appears to be decadent, as if I was making it with a wildly expensive espresso […]
Veg bowl with mushrooms, leeks, and farro This veg bowl is what dreams are made of. Perhaps it’s the creamy farro cooked with vegetable broth.
