Make Creepy Halloween Punch with this Bone Chillin’ Brew Recipe

October 1, 2023 by liz

Ever since I bought my new cake stand which doubles as a punch bowl, I’ve been looking for excuses to make punch (or retro layered salad). I fondly remember my mother’s parties when I was young, complete with polyester suits, funny 70s hairstyles and punch for everyone. So I was excited to find this creepy Halloween …

This is a delightful winter holiday cocktail with pears, cranberries and Sparkling Wine.

Wine Cocktail: White Peachy Bloody Mary Recipe

August 27, 2019 by liz

In the South, cold drinks are mandatory near the close of each work day…or maybe I should say just somewhere around 3 pm, when the day is at its hottest… and its humidest (and this is what humidity does to your brain in Alabama). This is featured in the new book The New Bloody Mary: …

Creamy Healthy Smoothies Perfect for Summer

June 8, 2019 by liz

I love healthy smoothies. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’ve been obsessed with mixing up green concoctions for fruit smoothies and margaritas! But, creamy, green smoothies are one of the best ways to drink your greens. They are my favorite thing to drink on a warm summer morning, and also just after a run. …

Summer Cocktail Recipes, Pitcher Drinks & Cool Sips

June 5, 2019 by liz

You may remember from previous posts that I love a little herb in my desserts – well, I also love a little herb in my drinks. Especially basil. And cilantro. And rosemary…ok I love them all. Give me a fennel-infused bloody mary with a touch of cilantro plus all the fixins and I’m a happy …

Green Jalapeño Margarita: Go Green on Cinco de Mayo

Green Jalapeño Margarita Recipe: Go Green on Cinco de Mayo

May 1, 2019 by liz

Here’s a trend I’ve been seeing lately: adding spinach to smoothies, grating zucchini into brownies and stirring pumpkin into soup and pastas. This may sound crazy, but these are all good ways to get more nutrients into our diets, which most of us need! And, they really do taste delicious…or, rather, I should say they …

Better than Green Beer: Fresh Green Smoothies for St. Patrick’s Day

March 5, 2019 by liz

One way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day is with (artificially) green-colored food and drinks: green beer, green eggs, green cupcakes, green milk…and the list goes on and on. This makes for some fun-colored eggs in the morning, which probably contain chemicals, and I’m pretty sure I don’t want to eat green gravy. Instead, how about …

February 2, 2019 by liz

Today is National Hot Chocolate Day! A small holiday I know, but since I love chocolate and the nights are cold, I wanted to celebrate. I found this recipe for Hot Cocoa + Pumpkin, and it gave me an idea for adding something a little spicier: ancho chiles. Ancho chiles are dried poblano peppers and …
