Peach Mojito

It's Friday, so of course I made you a cocktail again.  I have decided that since it's summer and the heat is out of control that the least I can do is make you a refreshing drink every week, I mean that's just the kinda girl I am.  And the peaches at the farmer's market right now have been so dang sweet and juicy that I couldn't resist making another cocktail with them.  This peach mojito is going to make you very happy and it's the perfect refreshing drink when it's a thousand degrees outside.

I was reading one of my favorite foodie bloggers Heather Christo, when I stumbled upon her nectarine mojito (she has gorgeous cocktails) and I immediately realized that I need to make a peach mojito!  Genius.  And turns out the flavor combo of peach, lime, mint, and rum is dynamite!  The peaches were so sweet, that I only had to add agave to sweeten the drink ever so slightly, which means you don't have to feel bad about drinking more than one...

You're welcome.

By now, maybe you have made my peach and blueberry sangria (if not that's ok you still can), and now you will have to try my peach mojito!  It's ready in a jiff, looks super fancy, and is so delicious!  Even Canean who isn't a mojito connoisseur like myself, but loves him some peaches, ended up loving this drink!

Listen, make it tonight...make it tomorrow, I don't care as long as you make it!

Grandma's Mint Chocolate Brownie Bites

I have to tell you something about me.  It's pretty serious...ok maybe not sooo serious, but oh well I'm telling you anyway.  One of my favorite combinations in the world is mint and chocolate.  My favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip, and don't even get me started on those Andes mints or thin mint Girl Scout cookies, I could eat my weight in those things.  With that being said St. Patrick's day is right around the corner and naturally I have to make something green.  My Grandma's Mint Chocolate Brownie Bites are to die for in my book and rank right up there with those other yummy sweet treats I just mentioned!  So I made them. 

And...let me just go ahead and say that these do not fall into the healthy category (at all), but they ARE cut into bite size pieces. Moderation people...

They are layered with a moist brownie bottom, a minty buttercream center, and finished off with a luscious chocolately glaze.  Oh yeah, nothing wrong with any of that if you ask me.  What's even better (I know how could they get better) is that you keep them in the fridge so they stay fresh for up to two weeks (I mean honestly they probably won't last that long) or you can freeze them! 

Where I live, we have a St. Patty's Day parade on Saturday so I made these brownies for my "green" dessert, and let's be honest it really just gave me an excuse to make them without feeling bad since others would be helping me eat them.  :)

Now it's your turn.  Make my Grandma's Mint Chocolate Brownie Bites so we can talk about how good they are and I don't have to obsess alone!
