Boozy Mint Cheesecake
What to do on St. Patrick's Day? I’m pretty sure if you ask anyone what you are supposed to do on St. Patrick’s Day, everyone will say… call your mom and tell her you love her (you should do that every day)… no silly, they will say DRINK! And while green beer may be fun to look at, it doesn’t taste all that good to me. However, I do love shamrock shakes that are spiked with Crème de Mente.

Sour Apple-tini – Pucker Up!
Back in the day when I first started testing my luck with cocktails, I would use Puckers to add a little splash of flavor or color. I always strive to make drinks that use super fresh ingredients, but if time is an issue and you donʼt have fresh fruit on hand, itʼs okay to take a few short cuts. Recently, I had a hankering to create an apple cocktail thatʼs extremely easy to make and doesnʼt take much prep time. I also wanted it to be f... Read More

THE MENU: For Your Plus One Soon To Be Minus One: Look at you. You got lucky twice toda... Read More

Jalapeño and Bacon Popper Dip
Jalapeño poppers are all the rage these days and no, I don’t mean the deep-fried variety. I mean the variety where an entire jalapeño is stuffed with cream cheese, wrapped in bacon, and baked or grilled. Those are popular for a good reason: they are delicious. They also happen to be a bit of a pain in the you-know-what to make. Luckily, with my Jalapeno Bacon Popper Dip, you get all of the same flavors with a tenth of the work. You reall... Read More
