St Croix Libre – The Havana Libre gets Sparkled!

St Croix Libre - The Havana Libre plus Lime Sparkling Water! May 24, 2013

My original intent was to share a recipe for the Havana Libre; a cocktail much like this one but without the Perrier water. I took some time to do a bit of research as I was certain it would be a relative of the Cuba Libre. No? Since I could not find one bit of [...]

Cherry Nut Loaf

Cherry Nut Loaf May 20, 2013

Cherries. Fresh, ripe and wonderful cherries. Sweet, succulent and gorgeous cherries; a love so strong that years ago I gave into this being not just cherry season but embracing that my fingertips will be stained crimson and my apron will be splattered as if Jackson Pollack was my sous chef season. It’s all good. I [...]

Sparkling Blackberry Mint Julep

Sparkling Blackberry Mint Julep May 3, 2013

I lived in the South for many years and while I can’t brag about having been to the Kentucky Derby, I can say I’ve driven through that part of the country during our moves and it is amazingly beautiful. Wide, rolling expanses of green grass are accentuated with white fences that stretch for miles. You [...]

Roasted Vegetable Pasta with Goat Cheese

Roasted Vegetable Pasta with Goat Cheese April 24, 2013

Do you remember when I teased you a bit last week and promised the recipe for Roasted Vegetable Pasta that accompanied a Scallion and Ginger Spiced Chicken dish that Emily and I made for Lauren? Well, here it is…and it is SO good. It was a big hit…I mean HUGE. I could have eaten this [...]

Orange Creamsicle Cookie Bars

Orange Creamsicle Cookie Bars April 22, 2013

I’m thinking of the folks in Boston as I write. As a Denver, CO resident, I know too well the sorrow of events of this nature and how it can impact an entire city so my heart and my prayers are with them today. Along with that sorrow though comes hope; seeing evidence of the [...]

Margaritaville – Get Ready for Summer with these Beauties!

Margaritaville - Some great choices for summer margaritas! April 19, 2013

Let’s get one thing straight…as much as I love making all manner of cocktails, my true confession is that I just plain LOVE margaritas. For me, the whole cocktail making thing started with this one; this one very special margarita. Although it might use what one would consider pretty standard ingredients; it is the quality [...]

Almond Cake with Raspberry Jam

Almond Cake with Raspberry Jam April 8, 2013

The kitchen is packed; the furniture to be given away is gone, the garage is almost there and ‘my stuff’ (lights, camera, food, food props, kitchen must haves) are all at my friend Karen’s or in my studio at my daughter Emily’s. I made this cake for the first Denver food blogger Meetup I put [...]

Le Peep’s Gooey Buns

Le Peep's Gooey Buns April 1, 2013

I don’t eat out often; it’s just not my thing, much preferring to throw something simple together at home than pick up food to go. But moving changes EVERYTHING and I simply can not impress upon you how overwhelming this effort has been. Maybe I should have moved more often so this job would be [...]

Caprese Stuffed Baked Potatoes

Caprese Stuffed Baked Potatoes February 20, 2013

Ever heard of ‘Rooster’ potatoes? Many of you probably have not. Albert Bartlett premiered the Rooster potato in the United States last summer at the Taste of Colorado. The potato was well received and more than 60,000 potato wedges (5 tons of potatoes) were handed out to event goers during the four-day festival in Denver. [...]

The Tom Collins – A Classic Cocktail for Super Bowl Sunday

The Tom Collins - A Classic Cocktail January 25, 2013

Preparation for moving continues. A rented storage facility is almost full (I can’t even tell you with what!), furniture has been given away or is dedicated to being handed down to my girls once a deal is made and this home is spotless and cleared of clutter. Clutter mostly being inventory from my online shop [...]

Green Chile Macaroni and Cheese

Green Chile Macaroni and Cheese January 9, 2013

When I first started ‘Whatever Wednesday’ my main intent was to bring some great recipes, buried in the archives, to the front of the line. This is one of those and I still love the reminder of how much I’ve changed when it comes to peppers that are green (well, most of them!). I hope [...]

Heath Bar Slice ‘n Bake Shortbread Cookies for #Baketogether

Heath Bar Slice 'n Bake Shortbread Cookies December 31, 2012

Can you hear that sigh…that huge exhale of relief? I’ve decided that this year I have to be more cognizant of MY priorities and that might include saying no to some interesting but otherwise way too time consuming projects for the blog. I won’t be heading to events that someone hopes I cover in exchange [...]

Pink Platinum Champagne Cocktail for New Years Eve and More!

Pink Platinum Champagne Cocktail December 28, 2012

Want to know what can happen when you are too sick to barely function? Well…maybe your post draft for a New Year’s holiday cocktail went live for The Friday Cocktail without being complete, including no photo. Dying here a little bit but then again, I’ve been dying all week and absolutely, positively forgot to check [...]

Moscow Mule Revisited as the Denver Donkey

The Moscow Mule at the Highland Tap and Brew in Denver October 12, 2012

I received an invitation last month to attend the launch party for DrinkDenver.com, the newest edition of the multi-city online magazine about imbibing in the United States. Along with fresh and original content about the drinking culture in the Mile-High City, Drink Denver features a searchable directory of the city’s best bars, a calendar of [...]

Red and White Wine Jelly – Cherry Cabernet and Lemon with Rosemary Chardonnay

Red and White Wine Jelly - Cherry Cabernet and Lemon with Rosemary Chardonnay September 28, 2012

You know I love my cocktails right? I love making them as much as any dish; they are creative and fun and add something special to a get together with friends. But want to know a secret? I drink wine more. It’s true! Cocktails are special but require some planning and often special mixtures and [...]
