Hi, everyone! I hope you have been enjoying a few of the recipes I have offered over the past few months and have had an opportunity to make a few of these cocktails for friends and family. (Kids? Ha Ha!) Here is a fun martini, that makes a wonderful nightcap after a nice dinner.
The Almond Joy Martini has become a bit of a staple at fine eateries in North America and is a fantastic offering served as an after dinner martini or as a smaller aperitif size portion that will extend the pleasure of a fun night out and also

Summer has been slow to arrive, finally we have temperatures near 90 and lots of humidity, which means that a lot of people now are complaining that it's too hot. Go figure! These are the same people that were complaining that it was too cold and rainy for the first half of the summer. (more...)
Put the Lime & the Coconut in the Margarita
by Michele on February 11th, 2009 | Cocktails, Margaritas
I enjoy a margarita every once in a while. However, I have certain preferences for this drink. Actually, I have preferences for all drinks. I am not a fan of the high syrup/sweetness and minimal alcohol content of the drinks served at many chain restaurant. Not that I am seeking potent drinks, but I prefer not having a glass of corn syrup with a hint of flavoring.

My husband and I are very fortunate to have a pair of best friends that are there for any event. Whether it's hosting a holiday with family and hoping for some sanity, moving to a new house and needing some extra hands, or attending a child's sporting event and wanting a cheering squad, they are there.
This past weekend our eldest competed in a tri-county cross country meet. Of course, our best friends were in attendance with us. To cap off our day, they joined us and two of our kids at home. Having a little fun with the big
