    Gourmet Mushroom Quesadillas

    September 30, 2020 / 0 Comments

    I added “Gourmet” to the title because these are not your everyday quesadillas. These are “make them when company comes over” mushroom quesadillas. Gruyere cheese and an assortment of in season mushrooms kick this dish up a few notches. Have you tried this recipe?? I’d love to hear your feedback. Please comment and rate!

    Hidden Surprise Pancakes

    September 26, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Hold up! This is seriously going to up your pancake game! Weekend breakfast has never been more fun. On the outside, they’re just regular fluffy pancakes but cut them open for a splash of color! These are a great start to the day for birthdays and holidays. The trick to these, as you will see below, is to make the baby, colorful pancakes first. That way the insides are guaranteed to be cooked and fluffy as well as the outside pancake. If you are averse to food coloring, try mixing in fruit such as mashed blueberries or pureed strawberries instead. Have you tried this recipe?? I’d love to hear your…

A dead body is found during the reception and all the guests are suddenly suspects.   The Guest List is a whole mood. I found this book to be completely engaging. Rich, descriptive and captivating characters will immediately grasp your attention while a primitive fear oozes in the background. What an utterly engrossing “who dunnit” that you will not want to put down. My thoughts on the last TWO…

    When I read the Guest List, I knew almost immediately that I would be baking a wedding cake. Did you know that red velvet gets a natural slight red tint from cocoa powder?? Of course, it’s become standard to add coloring to get the deep velvety red that we know and love. Have you tried this recipe?? I’d love to hear your feedback. Please comment and rate!

    Healthy Maple Granola Recipe

    September 15, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Go ahead and cross granola off of your grocery list. This healthier version is so easy to make! Maple flavors paired with warm spices create a comforting but healthy granola. I love this as an evening snack with my tea but it’s also great on any of my smoothies. I created this granola out of a list of recommended iron rich foods. Women have a higher iron goal than men: we need 14.8mg a day while men only need 8.7mg. Alisa Vitti recommends eating iron and vitamin B rich foods to support blood loss and energy during the menstrual phase of our cycles which is why I’m grouping this recipe…

Whatever shall we do after reading the Bridgerton Whatever shall we do after reading the Bridgerton series?? ⠀
⠀
I have an answer, my friends: Edie Cay. ⠀
Three words- Feminist 👏 Regency 👏 Romance 👏 ⠀
⠀
When @authorediecay reached out to me to request a cocktail creation for her new book, The Boxer and The Blacksmith, I was flattered. But after reading the book, I was honored. ⠀
⠀
✨✨(Win two copies now- one for you and one for a friend!! Check out my last post to enter the giveaway through today, 1/14.)✨✨⠀
⠀
Now for the cocktail deets. Gin, club soda, honey and charred orange simple syrup and a purple iced tea cube. ⠀
⠀
All of the heat and smoke of a blacksmith with the knockout punch of a boxer. 🥃 This complex yet simply delicious cocktail is a wonderful accomplice to Edie Cay’s Feminist Regency Romance, The Boxer and The Blacksmith. I highly recommend both! ⠀

Daisy Jones and the Six ~ A Rockin Good Time⠀
⠀
Is @tjenkinsreid Janice Joplin reincarnated? How does she come up with this realistic to the bone, all encompassing look into rock stars’ lives? And not just one but 7 of them?!? I absolutely loved Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones rocked. I bow to the talent that oozes out of TJR and she will always be an automatic buy for me. ⠀
⠀
PS. I very highly recommend listening to this book on audio. The star-studded cast of narrators includes Jennifer Beals and Benjamin Bratt 🤩⠀
⠀
Also, stay tuned. Thanks to @librariana_ I am now aware of a peanut butter whiskey 🥃 that will compliment Daisy Jones perfectly. 🔥⠀
