Silent Night Cocktail – Bourbon and Benedictine
I’m a fan of brown liquor. I like the old scotches I really can’t afford (but sometimes get as a fancy gift on my birthday), rich bourbons and full-bodied whiskeys of all sorts. I recently did a cocktail shoot for Tropicana and always learn a thing or two about fun liquors while we’re making beautiful…
Instant Pot Chicken Pozole Verde!!
Guys, I finally did it. I got this Instant Pot thinking “if it doesn’t rock my world, I’ll return it or gift it”. Well, though it does take a bit of trial an error to DEVELOP recipes with the Instant Pot, it is as much of a game-changer in my kitchen as everyone promised it…
Gluten-Free Bourbon Apple Crisp
I rarely make apple crisp, but when I do I want it to be packed with perfectly caramelized apples and topped with lightly sweetened crunchy oats. I find the pecans in the crisp topping to be totally necessary to get the texture I crave, but feel free to substitute walnuts etc. ENJOY! Gluten-Free Bourbon Apple Crisp …
Chewy and Crisp Sourdough Starter Pancakes!
Today I’m sharing one of my absolute favorite recipes and a creation I am soooo proud of!

I’ve heard of roasting grapes, but my favorite thing about grapes…
Thai Beef Larb Salad with Instant Pot Coconut Sticky Rice
Larb is brilliant thai street food and a traditional lao dish. This beef larb is the perfect balance of umami, sour, spice and minty freshness. It blends crunchy, juicy and fresh textures perfectly. Each and every bite sings! Even better? It cooks up in no time in one pan so there’s very little clean-up! I like…

Melon Skewers with Fresh Mozzarella, Prosciutto and Basil
I’ve got more cool food for you today as we continue to try and beat the heat! Yikes! It gets challenging after a while to dream up more cold foods for meals. This recipe is super simple though and keeps well in the fridge if you reserve the balsamic drizzle. It’s healthy, it’s fresh, it’s…
