With the holiday season approaching, you may be starting to plan holiday menus if hosting this year. If you're looking for easy menu additions that will impress guests, signature #cocktails are a great choice, especially when incorporating seasonal flavors. During the fall #cranberry, #rosemary, #jalapeno, and #bourbon create a smoky and sweet #cocktail with notes of spice and tartness. It pairs well with charcuterie boards, salmon, ham, milk chocolate, and even fruit pastries! To create a cranberry, rosemary, jalapeno, and bourbon cocktail, you will create a simple syrup using:
1 cup fresh cranberries
3 Tbsp. fresh rosemary leaves
2 Tbsp. chopped jalapeno
2 cups water
1 cup granulated sugar
Once the syrup has steeped for two hours, mix 1 part syrup with 2 parts bourbon whisky. Top each glass with a handful of frozen cranberries, and enjoy!

October celebrates both #chili and #apples, and fo

October celebrates both #chili and #apples, and for good reason! Chili is a versatile dish with a warm blend of spices perfect for fall nights. Apples are one of the most diverse biking and snacking fruits offering a range of sweet and tart flavors. Needless to say, it was nearly impossible to choose between featuring a chili or apple recipe this month! That's when I realized I didn't have to choose and could honor both. I started brainstorming a spicy chili recipe balanced by the sweet and tangy flavor of granny smith apples. After a few trial batches, I created a caramelized onion, apple, and cocoa chili recipe that's nearly impossible to have only one bowl of! Now is the perfect time of the year to make this recipe before apple picking ends, so try it today!

Nothing quite says fall like a stack of fluffy pum

Nothing quite says fall like a stack of fluffy pumpkin pancakes! Made with pumpkin puree, a blend of fall spices, and buttermilk, these pancakes are as fluffy as they are packed with flavor! Best of all, leftovers (if you have any) are easy to freeze! To make pumpkin pancakes, you will need:
1 ½ cups buttermilk, room temperature
1 large egg, room temperature
2 cups flour
2 ½ tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
½ tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp light brown sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Don't be concerned if your batter is thick! That's what adds to the fluffiness. Add an additional 1/4 to a 1/2 cup of milk for thinner pancakes. Mix the ingredients, and cook on both sides for two to five minutes. For additional instructions and tips, follow the link below or in bio! #pumpkin #pumpkinpancakes

You've had #shipyard #Pumpkinhead. But have you had a pumpkin-pie-head?? Combine the following ingredients in a pint-sized beer glass:
* 1 12. oz. bottle Shipyard Pumpkinhead
* 1/2 oz Vanilla #absolut vodka
* 1/2 oz Whipped Cream #pinnaclevodka
If you'd like to add a decorative cinnamon sugar to the rim, I recommend using agave or maple syrup instead of water to wet the rim. Pour a few drops onto your index finger and thumb, and press them against the edge of your glass, turning the glass to evenly coat. It holds the sugar better, and prevents running edges! Simply dip the prepared rim into the sugar and shake the excess, pour your ingredients, and enjoy!

September is one of my favorite times of the year.

September is one of my favorite times of the year. It’s the tail end of summer, still offering warm afternoons and grilling with friends and family on the patio. But there’s also a change in the air signaling the change in seasons. Cooler nights bring crisp mornings that can wake you up when the morning breeze blows in. The colder weather also brings some of the best seasonal flavors and ingredients, including apples, cranberries, and mushrooms!
My favorite #mushroom recipe is stuffed baby portabello mushrooms. They’re the perfect size for a two-bite side dish or appetizer, and you can easily prepare them a day ahead of a party. The trick to a perfectly baked stuffed mushroom is all about timing and giving your mushrooms a quick bake before stuffing. Luckily, I’ve perfected the method for you, so you can spend more time enjoying your dinner, and time with friends and family. Follow the link below to learn all of my (formerly) best-kept #stuffedmushrooms secrets!

In the mid-1980s, Dick Bradsell received a request

In the mid-1980s, Dick Bradsell received a request for a cocktail to would "wake me up, and then f--k me up." Bradsell created a coffee and vodka martini, later known as the espresso martini. Fast forward two decades and Bradsell's espresso martini is the cocktail of 2022. Fresh espresso, #titos vodka, #kahlua coffee liqueur, and simple syrup combine to create a bold cocktail that pairs perfectly with desserts. To create an espresso martini, mix:
* 2 oz. vodka
* 1 oz. fresh espresso, chilled
* 3/4 oz. coffee liqueur
* 1/4 to 1/2 oz. simple syrup
Chill the liquids, add a 1/2 cup of ice, and shake to perfection! For tips on how to mix a perfect espresso martini, head to Flavors of Paradis LLC!

Looks for tips on how to select the best watermelo

Looks for tips on how to select the best watermelon? The two ares I focus on are the webbing, and the field patch. All watermelon have a spot where the melon rest on the field, usually near the stem (see the third photo.) The patch should ideally resemble the color of parchment, or a pale yellow. That's an indication the watermelon has had time to grow and sweeten. The second area I focus on is the webbing. The darker green lines should be close to width of two fingers, with thinner bands on the light green in between. With these tips, you'll pick a perfect melon each time! Have a safe and happy 4th of July weekend

Berry season is finally here with local strawberri

Berry season is finally here with local strawberries ready for picking and blueberries around the corner. I love adding fresh berries to parfaits, salads, dessert toppings, and especially as a snack. With inflation the last year, berries haven't been spared from rising prices. To help save money by avoiding food spoilage, learn how to extend the shelf life of your berries, and ways to give them a second life with freezing. I also have a tip for stepping up your frozen cocktail game this summer using an ice cube tray!
