Apricot & Spice Infused Bourbon

Few things say “Holllliiidaaaayyyy… Cellllleeeebrrraaaaate” to me more than shoving a bunch of fruit and spices into booze to make even FANCIER booze. We’ve done it before with this Apple & Cinnamon Bourbon, with which we’ve expertly crafted these Hot Toddies. But, now we’re delving into the world of dried apricots and ginger and other spicy spices. It’s a good place to be. It’s going to make one FANCY jar of booze-juice. Like, people should be excited if you’re their secret Santa. I mean… what would you rather have? A ten dollar gift certificate to Starbucks or a nice little bottle of home-infused boozy cheer?! If you said Starbucks, I don’t hate you… but, I’m not, like, totally into you right now. We can make up later. Here, have some of my legendary peace-making Vegan Chocolate Pudding. Better? Good. Now, let’s get infusing.  […]

Exciting News! I Am Contributing To The Kitchn!

So, I’ve got some news!

It’s good news.

It’s not quite “OMG, they’ve figured out how to make Polar Bears want to be best friends with humans!” news (even though I think about that almost every day of my life). This news is more on par with “Holy Heck! That is the coolest. Let’s high-five and clink glasses and dance enthusiastically like nobody is watching!” Let’s do all of those things!

Perhaps you follow me on Facebook, and have already heard me shouting my news from the rooftops. Maybe you already follow me on Twitter, and have already read my 140 character happy dance! Wait, we aren’t Facebook friends? Let’s fix that. We aren’t twitter buddies? Weird.  I want to hang out with you.

So, all of you savvy food lovers probably already know about the awesomely informative website, The Kitchn!  If not, you must go there posthaste. It is the food loving sister site of the design haven Apartment Therapy. Have you not been there either? Seriously. Go check it out. You will be inspired!  Plus, you have an even better excuse to head over to The Kitchn, now that your girl has been brought on as part of the team! That’s right, Friends! I am super excited to be one of their new tour contributors! This is a really fun part of the site! I get to go into people’s homes and explore their kitchen space! I then get to sit and chat with them about what inspires them as far as their cooking style and their living space. It’s a really fun excuse to peek into someone’s spice cabinets. Wait did I just say that? Weird. Like you weren’t thinking it. […]

Watermelon Margaritas

Last week.

Don’t even get me started.

I came here on Friday to write you a post about my various kitchen mishaps. The post got too long. That’s right. It was that kind of week. I found myself on Facebook complaining and insisting we all have margaritas. Yeah, I wasn’t kidding…

These drinks are what happens when you manage to make lemon bars taste like scary scrambled eggs, spend hours making gluten-free gnocchi that ends up turning into doggie treats, and make yourself a green smoothie that tastes like wet salad. Yes, I did these things. It got real. Oh, boy. I have some scores to settle with a couple of recipes. They will be mine. Mark my words. […]
