3 Things To Do With A Broiled Grapefruit
Crank up the heat, broiled grapefruit is where it’s at! I grew up in a family that loved grapefruit.  Make that – LOVED grapefruit.  Every winter our church would host a fruit sale, and we would order boxes upon boxes of fresh grapefruit. Once our shipment arrived, I would come down to breakfast every morning to find half a grapefruit sitting on the table for me, already sectioned by my dad.  (I know, I hardly appreciated it at the time....

How to Make a Hot Toddy with Sriracha
You put whacha in that hot toddy? Sriracha! Yes. Yes I did. Oh and honey and lemon and ginger and whiskey and a little too much enthusiasm, if my husband has anything to say about it. I know it seems weird! And at first I was like, "whoa, this is weird." But you know what. I'm kind of weird. And life is weird. And weather is weird. And hedge apples are weird. And my hair is weird. YET IT ALL WORKS. (Well, not my hair.) It's like a Bloody... Read More ›

Guava Daiquiris

Guava Daiquiris
I am lucky enough to live in a city where I have access to a wide variety of tropical fruit. I think Tablespoon has decided to exploit this fact, because they keep asking me to come up with recipes for new fruits! I am totally ok with this. In fact, I love everything about it! From the journey to the ethnic market hoping to find the right fruit, to the unveiling at home and trying to figure out just how to get at the good stuff inside, it’s... Read More ›

Blueberry Lemon Lavender Mojito
Want a cocktail that is gorgeous to look at, as well as drink? Well, I definitely have one for you! My Blueberry Lemon Lavender Mojito is beautiful to look at, and goes down quite easily, if-I-do-say-so-myself. I have made this drink recipe many, many, times JUST to make sure that it is perfect for you. That is what I tell myself anyway. This drink is heavenly – herbal, fresh, and lemony. I love a mojito. I love fresh mint. A drink that has... Read More ›

Thyme to Kill Cocktail

Thyme to Kill Cocktail
It’s pretty hard to improve on a gin and tonic, in my opinion. On a hot summer day, it’s hard to beat! But even as a serious gin and tonic lover, I’m sometimes in the mood for a change and my Thyme to Kill cocktail is equally delicious. Thyme is not an herb that’s used a lot for cocktails but it pairs really nicely with the herbal tones in gin. You can’t really just stick a sprig of thyme in a glass and expect to get much flav...

Rhubarbaritas
Bebop-a-reebop, Rhubarbaritas. Wait, that’s not how it goes, is it… In any case, rhubarb pie is so last season – this year, it’s all about the rhubarb-flavored margarita. Oh yes, you read right. Rhubarb simple syrup gets its shake on with lime juice and tequila in this delicious, tangy and tart springtime cocktail. It might sound complicated, but it’s seriously one of the easiest drinks I’ve ever made (and that’s coming from som... Read More ›

Mexican Michelada Cocktail

Mexican Michelada Cocktail
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: If I could eat only one type of food the rest of my life, it would be Mexican. True story. I never get sick of enchiladas; tacos are a significant part of my childhood; I could eat salsa by the shovelful; and I dream about quesadillas in my sleep. So it’s no surprise that when the husband and I discovered Micheladas – a spicy Mexican beer cocktail – it was love at first sip. What sealed t... Read More ›

The Payback Cocktail
Due to some unfortunate choices in college, I have a hard time drinking tequila. Too many bad memories. I’m sure you understand. But really, that just applies to shots of tequila—which frankly, I’m too old for anyway! Tequila is still one of my favorite liquors to use for cocktails, though. It has a really unique flavor and if you mix it with the right things, it becomes beyond delicious. This cocktail, called The Payback, is kind... Read More ›

Spring Beer Cocktail
Now that Spring freshness is in the air, you need a crisp drink to match! This Spring Beer Cocktail recipe is a grown-up take on the infamous college punch (a handle of cheap vodka + 30-pack of light beer + tub of lemonade powder). I’ve seen it called many names before, from Skippy, to Jungle Juice, to Summer Beer. Some girls I was friends with in college used pink lemonade and called it by…another name. ;-) This adult version uses real... Read More ›
