tequila lime sugar cOOkies

on 0 171 Views

These tequila lime sugar cookies are like a soft pillowy bite of margarita! Think Lofthouse-style cookies and a classic margarita combined in one…what’s not to love?! And bonus I’ve found a non-alcoholic version of tequila that tastes the exact same!

And for all the non-drinkers, dry January just got a little bit more exciting!! Not to mention New Year’s celebrations!
I happened upon a brand of non-alcohol spirits called CleanCo Clean T that is a UK company that sells tequila, rum, gin, and vodka…so since I don’t really drink I decided to give the tequila a try. I mean…I miss a good mixed drink! And let me tell you it did not disappoint at all! It tastes just like the alcoholic version.
I can’t wait to try the other spirits they offer. Give them a try and get creative, do a little drink mixing and some baking with it and let me know what you create.

day Of the dead skull cakelettes

on 0 85 Views

Día de Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead is upon us and this year I decided to make these festive skull cakes that are drop-dead delicious!

While I don’t generally celebrate the Mexican tradition of Día de Los Muertos I most certainly can appreciate the celebration to honor and remember deceased loved ones. I’ve always loved the costumes and makeup associated with the holiday…the splashes of colors and the dancers all decked out. It would be amazing to go and see and be a part of the celebration!

on 0 51 Views

The perfect cold-weather sandwich has arrived. Enter the cider-braised pot roast patty melt…chuck roast slow-cooked to perfection in a hard cider broth, chopped into a hash, and piled high on grilled sourdough bread. It’s crispy, cheesy, and full of fall flavors!

Just in time for your Halloween dinner too…and the best part is you can make the slow-cooked pot roast the night before and just warm it up to make the sandwiches. The pot roast becomes more flavorful overnight sitting in the cider broth. It’s autumn between two slices of bread.

on 0 32 Views

Autumn has arrived and I have been craving everything apple cider this year! I was inspired to create this dish with hard apple cider and give a fall twist after visiting my local orchard…and it was amazing!!

It’s been rainy and cold this week so something warm and hearty was definitely what was needed. After taking a trip for some cider donuts at the orchard I knew I had to make this dish…several times actually lol. The hard cider gives it just a hint of extra flavor and the added sweet potatoes really brought an extra level of autumn to the dish. And bonus, the leftovers get even better as they marinate in the flavors overnight and they make great sandwiches the next day!!! A recipe for a leftover pot roast sandwich is coming soon. 🙂 Stay tuned!!
