Root Canal

It’s easy to fall in love with new flavors when you’re on vacation. Then you go home and dream of those flavors and try to recreate them. We love when we can bring those flavors home with us. It turns every day life into another day on holiday when those […]

Dark & Stormy With Spiced Rum

Make any day a holiday with one killer cocktail to share.

We’re always sharing our drinks. Because, just like food, drinks always seem to taste better when someone else makes it. Sometimes, one of us will steal an extra sip or two here or there. But, it’s always […]

A Honey Bee & Bee’s Knees

It’s hot.

No, really, it’s HOT! So, it’s time for my summer go-to drink. What do you want in a summer cocktail? I want ice and lots of it. Also, it must be fresh, tart, barely sweet, and filled to the brim with a shocking amount of gin. That a […]

Honey Syrup

Honey syrup…

It’s not just for cocktails. You could use this to sweeten tea. Drizzle it over a buttered biscuit or bowl of oatmeal. I like it over a small bowl of yogurt topped with granola clusters and nuts. And, I’ll be testing it out in several recipes […]

Georgia Sweet Tea

Long weekend = Cocktail Time

This one is perfect for a hot summer day. It’s a little sweet, a little sour, and it’s got a nice little boozy kick. If you love lemonade, add 1 cup of homemade lemonade for even more lemon-y goodness. For an Arnold Palmer […]

The Roses Are Gone

We missed most of the full blooming roses this year. But, we were able to enjoy the buds and some of the full flowers. The fragrance was nothing short of heavenly in the back yard.

The alpine strawberries have been sprouting nicely. But, something is eating the tender […]

The First Raspberries

Rasberry blossoms…

…and the first tiny fruit are sprouting.

Will we get a taste? Or, will the squirrels demolish our little baby fruit? We have no idea. But, we’re thrilled to see so many blossoms turn into budding fruit. To […]

A Day At The Beach

Quiet Beach Days Are The Best

Cool, cloud free…

And, then, there’s the water.

…Just look at that water.

Too soon, we have to head back to reality. There’s unpacking to do. And, […]

Strawberry Peach Sangria

The last of the blossoms have fallen and the leaves are filling in beautifully. Don’t those vibrantly bright green leaves call to you and demand attention even with pollen in the air?

Get out there and enjoy!
