My absolute favorite of the four things I made for the bridal shower was this punch. For starters, I just love sparkling wine.

After watching Breakfast at Tiffany’s, I decided I was going to become a martini drinker as soon as I was old enough to drink. One year for my birthday, my Dad decided to indulge me.

It just goes to prove the cliché that one girl’s junk is another girl’s treasure. I can roll my eyes all I want at the seashell- and button-keepers of the world, but the truth is that a large portion of the trans-Atlantic pallet of boxes I unwrapped contained my cookbook collection.

It’s rhubarb season and if you visit your local farmer’s market right now I’m sure you will find plenty of this antioxidant-rich vegetable there. My last visit to our local market showcased some fresh and beautiful rhubarb.

Blueberries are everywhere right now and totally gorgeous so we decided to slush-er-ize them for a refreshing friday treat.
It’s a short, easy and healthy recipe today. Add a little citron vodka for an extra special slushie.

The lovely thing about slushies is that you can make them almost any flavor(s) you want. When it’s warm out, I tend to gravitate toward the fruity side of life.

Well it was my FAVORITE to make while I was learning drinks, because it was just so easy! So I figure everyone should know how to make it!

We are also celebrating around these parts by having a backyard summer BBQ–I made my standard summer picnic pasta salad which my family has never had before! Weird, because I’ve been making it for years–just never made it around here, I guess.

Champagne hasn’t been my friend for a long time. I go from bubbly to drunk to very hungover and unhappy in a matter of sips, and it’s a major thumbs down in that I adore a fizzy tipple once in a while.

Isn't this how a morning should start? To sit in a balcony (or a garden, if the luxury permits) with cool (yes not hot) sunshine breezing your open hair, while you read a newspaper or magazine with a nice filling drink.

I knew I wanted to recreate this drink at home, and thought that it would be perfect for our Memorial Day cookout. However, when Memorial Day rolled around it was so swelteringly hot that the mere thought of alcohol made me nauseous.

I don't drink alcohol, however, I absolutely love fun, girly drinks in fancy glasses. Hence, this deliciously refreshing, non-alcoholic beverage that I am calling a Ginger Lime Mocktail.

I just bought bottles of Canadian ginseng slices recently and I thought it is now a perfect time to use them since this ginseng is well known for its cooling property in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

So yes, milkshakes are the be-all end-all of deliciousness. I wouldn’t lie to you. But when you don’t have a flavor of ice cream that would go with, oh, say bananas and bacon then what’s a girl to do? Make her own “ice cream” of course!

We are having a heat wave & it definitely feels like summer here in South Norwalk. Yesterday, toward the end of the day we whipped up Strawberry Watermelon Coolers and they totally did the trick in helping us beat the heat.

One of my favorite ways to enjoy my iced tea is with a fruit puree. If I had taken a picture yesterday I could show you my pretty peach tea I made. Alas, the boys and I drank it before the thought occurred to me to snap a picture!

These looked AWESOME, but I didn't have all these ingredients on hand. I DID have spinach however, and I was excited!!

The Little Ladies have a day off from school today due to teacher conferences. Our intent is to lunch along the Red Hook waterfront (therefore there will be no lunch post today) and spend some time outdoors before returning for a special treat.

In mentally preparing for summer, I was looking back through my travels at some delicious summer treats I experienced last year. First up is some of the best ice cream I have had in the country.

The Manhattan Cocktail Classic will be featuring a number of variations on the classic Negroni. This spice-inflected version is the creation of Christy Pope and Chad Solomon of the beverage consulting firm Cuff and Buttons, and uses Marco Polo Tincture to add exotic spice notes.

Now that it is practically summer here in Greece, everywhere you look there are frappes. Whether you are passing by a coffee shop, there you will find many Greeks enjoying the sun and their frappes; whether shopping in a store or two, you are sure to find the workers sipping their frappes; or relaxing on the beach and savoring each sip.

When traveling, I frequently buy a few bottles of the local wines and/or spirits, seduced by their unavailability in Chicago. Especially when the dollar was stronger, vinous ballast would accumulate in my suitcases until the handles buckled and the seams began to unravel.

Here is an easy to prepare recipe for a delicious summer time drink that is easy to make and guaranteed to please a crowd.

t’s not really a recipe, more of an idea. But at least it’s a really yummy one. And now that we finally have watermelons back at the store I was very excited to make this again since I haven’t made it since last summer. It’s so refreshing. Save this recipe for a hot summery day

Have you ever tried to make fresh squeezed lemonade? Because it is the bomb and so, so easy.

There’s nothing wrong with Swiss Miss. I grew up on the stuff. I have two boxes stashed in my desk at work. But let me show you something.

This type of mint leaves have very strong smell. You'll either love it or hate it. Of course, I like it a lot. It's very refreshing.

I thought I’d start with a simple smoothie recipe to get ya’ll in the mood for pollen, but there are many ways of incorporating these amazing golden granules into your daily diet. Sprinkle it on your morning cereal or lunch-time salad, top your desserts, add to salad dressing, or fold it into your raw food snacks (like The Raw Brownie perhaps?).

My very first date with my husband we decided to go out for floats. But when we got to the restaurant they told us they didn’t serve floats.

I have to confess something. When I first heard that the next round of “Let’s Lunchâ€, was a liquid lunch, I instantly thought “MARTINIâ€
