St. Patty's Day is tomorrow and while I would like to say we have some super exciting plans to celebrate, really I'd just be lying. We do have plans on seeing friends over the weekend, but I can guarantee you that it will all be extremely chill, which is right up my 33 year old alley if you know what I mean. But because I love any good reason to make a cocktail, I will be celebrating through my beverage of choice, which will most definitely contain alcohol. Enter the boozy green elixir, where healthy meets a cocktail and makes for the best of friends.
Anyone else super excited for the weekend? I just didn't get my fill last weekend and have been feeling like this week has been never ending! It has been super rainy here in Texas which hasn't helped matters and I have been dreaming for a crisp Spring day! My sister in law is coming in town this weekend and I can't think of a better reason to whip up some yummy cocktails! My peach jam and gin thyme fizz is the perfect weekend brunch cocktail to get your weekend started right!
Hi...it's me...I've finally made my way back to you! I know you missed me right? (Well tell me you did even if you didn't.) So, since the last time I talked to you two really exciting things have happened! For one, I have officially written and submitted the first draft of cookbook number two and so now I will have some time again to get back to blogging! And the second exciting news that I have to share with you is that I am joining the Drizly team as one of their TopShelf bloggers! This means I will be creating some really yummy cocktails for them and to share with you! With Valentine's Day being on a weekday next week, I'm kickstarting my new gig with the perfect Valentine's Day brunch cocktail for you to celebrate early with this weekend! My pink lemon kiss cocktail is the perfect romantic cocktail to go with any Valentine's Day celebration that you might have going on!
Happy holidays everyone! How was your Christmas? I hope it was wonderful and filled with so much love. Ours was interesting to say the least! We went to Louisiana for Christmas Eve and that was great, other than the fact that Parks currently has a little cold and was slightly fussier than usual. We left on Christmas Day to come back home and brought home stomach bugs for me and Canean that lasted for two days. Not quite the Christmas I had in mind, so never the less we are having a do-over for New Year's Eve! I am going to try my hand at making homemade pasta for the first time and will be whipping up something with bubbly for a cocktail! Here's a list of my top ten festive New Year's Eve Cocktails!
appy Thursday friends! One more day and we have made it to the weekend...hallelujah! My mom is in town and although I will be working quite a bit this weekend, Canean and I are going to sneak away for a much needed date night tomorrow night and I am pretty excited about a baby free night in the city. We don't live near any family so sometimes it is hard to get a free night away so we are taking full advantage of Gram being in town! My weekend plans will also involve some last minute Christmas shopping with my mama and a few of these apple cider Pimm's cups!
Is it just me or does the week following a holiday seem like the longest week ever? I have no idea how it is not Friday yet, and I am just trying to get through one more day! To top it all off, Canean has strep throat and a double ear infection so I am on solo parent duty all weekend. Don't even get me started on how I have been a mad woman running around disinfecting the house trying to make sure that Parks and I don't catch it too. Lysol mania is is FULL effect around here. Needless to say, a cocktail (or three) is just what the doctor ordered! My rosemary cran smash is the perfect drink to not only calm those "why isn't it Friday yet" nerves, but you can also use up any of your leftover cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving!
