pumpkin patch cOcktail

on 0 82 Views

Forget pumpkin pie, this may be the best way to have pumpkins yet!

A bit of pumpkin butter and some cider mixed in with brandy and orange liquor…the hardest thing about making this drink is trying to limit how many you consume…it’s so dang tasty you might need someone to cut you off!
This is my take on Half Baked Harvest’s Haunted Pumpkin Patch Margarita and I’m in love with it!
I used an apple cider concentrate mixed with water but you can use any apple cider and it would be equally as tasty.

Alternatively, you could make this a mocktail by replacing the brandy with more apple cider and the orange liquor with orange juice.

One last suggestion, with any leftover apple slices I recommend dipping them in the sugar rim that is remaining and having a snack…yummy!

dulce de leche cupcakes

on 0 101 Views

Cupcakes are meant to be shared…or are they just individual portions for you to enjoy without having to cut into a cake??!

With a spice cake that is soaked with rum and filled with a gooey bite of dulce de leche and topped with dulce de leche swiss meringue buttercream these cupcakes may just make you think twice about sharing!

It may still be hot outside but fall is definitely in the air…pumpkin spice is out in force this year and is it just me or is it out extra early? While this may not be pumpkin spice it certainly gives fall vibes!

cherry lOng island iced tea

on 0 331 Views

Amped up with cherry flavor this long island iced tea is the refreshing drink you’ve been looking for this summer!

I’ve always found long island iced teas way too strong so I set out to create one that actually tastes good. And bonus…if you don’t want alcohol in it you can easily omit it with this recipe! Letting the cherries marinade in the tea overnight brings out the fruity notes in the tea but if you don’t have the patience to wait that long you can still enjoy right away and mix up your drink but I highly recommend letting the mixture sit overnight. Either way it’s super delish!

beef and guinness stew

on 0 77 Views

How do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? This year try my Beef and Guinness Stew that is hearty, delicious, and satisfyingly savory!

Personally, I like to make some sort of tasty dish reminiscent of either Irish traditions or some sort of Irish ingredients…

Sometimes I’ll do just pops of green colors in a dish…but this year I decided to make this delicious stew with Guinness in the broth and it turned out amazing! Guinness is a favorite of my husband’s, and I love the depth of flavor it gives to a dish when cooking with it.

Just beware of adding salt to any dish made with Guinness because as it cooks it becomes salty. So make sure to taste to adjust the salt to your liking near the end of cooking. I don’t add any additional salt into the stew besides salting the meat when browning.

Irish soda bread, mashed potatoes, and even French bread all go really well paired with this dish.

Yes, it takes a little bit of extra time to make but the slow braising makes for a much more tender stew and is so worth it!!
