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 [...]

Chocolate Chili Martini and a Chili Russian Cocktail

Chocolate Chili Martini and a Chili Russian Cocktail

January 18, 2013

A few months ago I was asked if I would like to sample a Chocolate Mint Liqueur from John DeKuyper & Sons. I used it to make a fun adult shake, combining the liqueur with vodka and ice cream and we loved it. Maybe a bit brazen but loved it so much I asked if [...]

Hamburger Baked Bean Casserole

Hamburger Baked Bean Casserole

January 16, 2013

It may seem spur of the moment but it’s been on my mind for some time so a move to a new home is now imminent. Yes, I LOVE my home and I’ve shed many tears at the thought of leaving it but leaving it I am. It’s simply too big and too much work [...]

Crepes ala Bananas Foster

Crepes ala Bananas Foster

January 14, 2013

New Orleans and beignets. Boston and clam chowder. Chicago and deep-dish pizza. It’s funny how certain cities and their food can be so intertwined. Memories of a special dish conjure up more than just the food we enjoyed, but also the people we enjoyed it with and the places that are meaningful to us. So [...]

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 [...]

Make Your Own Goat Cheese for Goat Cheese, Sausage and Mushroom Wellington (or Pizza!)

Make Your Own Goat Cheese for Goat Cheese, Sausage and Mushroom Pizza

January 7, 2013

My daughter Emily owns shares in the milk from a goat herd in a community about an hour outside of Denver in Elizabeth, CO. I knew she had been making goat cheese but I honestly did not know about this arrangement until recently. Maybe because the effort to drive there had fallen by the wayside [...]

The Perfect Manhattan. Sweet, Dry or Both. You Decide.

The Perfect Manhattan. Sweet, Dry or Both.

January 4, 2013

Rumor has it the Manhattan was invented on the island of its name in 1874 at The Manhattan Club during a party for New York’s newly elected Governor that was hosted by Jennie Churchill, the mother of Winston Churchill. The original recipe called for Rye Whiskey, Sweet Vermouth, and a dash or two of Angostura [...]

Best of ‘Not Forgotten Favorites’ for 2012

My Personal Favorites of 2012

January 1, 2013

I’ve done it before and it’s sort of standard fare to see a lot of food bloggers ‘Best of the Year’ lists to wrap-up the year. I did one last year. That list started with the first cocktail that I made for what would become my Friday Cocktail series but that methodology has weighed on [...]

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 [...]

Barbeque Shrimp with Cheese Grits – A Very Southern Tradition for New Years

Barbeque Shrimp with Cheese Grits - A Very Southern Tradition for New Years

December 26, 2012

This time of year always makes me think of North Carolina. My children were born there and in remembering I always recall that some of the most idyllic moments of my life were there, including their first Christmas. I moved to North Carolina from St Louis, MO when my then husband accepted a job offer [...]

Merry Christmas!

December 25, 2012

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play And mild and sweet the words repeat, Of peace on earth, good will to men. I thought how as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had roll’d along th’ unbroken song Of peace [...]

Omelets with Goat Cheese and Raspberries

Omelets with Goat Cheese and Raspberries

December 24, 2012

Over the last couple of years I’ve kept my holiday preparations much easier. I’ve decided that being a slave to the kitchen does not equate to a day off for the cook so I like to make dishes that are still fabulous but that do not require days of preparation and even more…a bazillion dishes [...]

Frangelico Truffle Cocktail and a Fundraiser Supporting Animal Welfare and Adoption

Frangelico Truffle Cocktail

December 21, 2012

It’s the holiday season and this year Frangelico® Hazelnut Liqueur is providing an opportunity for us to support an organization that is devoted to the support of animal welfare and pet adoption in the U.S. Chocolatier MarieBelle has partnered with Frangelico to unveil delicious truffles with the decadent taste of Hazelnut Liqueur, combined with rich [...]

Pecan Sticky Buns with Orange and Bourbon Glaze

Pecan Sticky Buns with Orange and Bourbon Glaze

December 19, 2012

This is a special post and it’s been a long time coming. It all started this past summer when I got a tweet from Sommer who tweets as @GagneFoods letting me know she was in Denver sampling some of their wonderful Robinhood Meetinghouse Biscuits and wondering if we could meet. As luck would have it, [...]
