Every now and then I find myself looking back at older recipes here on the blog and am mortified by the awful pictures I took when I first started. I still have a lot to learn about photography, but I’ve come a long way and this Peach Ginger-tini recipe is a perfect example. I still…
Templeton Mule
Who’s ready for baseball? Today’s opening day of the season and when the folks at Templeton Rye asked if I’d like to create an All-American cocktail to toast the start of baseball season I thought “of course!” I always love an excuse to try new spirits and create new cocktails. First, before I tell you…
Ginger Peach Cooler
I made this Ginger Peach Cooler simply because I had a bunch of peaches that were starting to get a little wrinkly and really needed to be eaten up. You can see their somewhat sorry shape in the photo but I wasn’t about to run out to the store just to buy pretty peaches for this…
Cantaloupe Martini

Pear Cucumber Cooler
This Pear Cucumber Cooler is my version of a cocktail I had at the Palihouse out in Hollywood a couple months ago. I really enjoyed a delicious cocktail that had pear vodka and muddled cucumbers and mint in it. I jotted down the ingredients from the menu so I could try to recreate it at…
Beet, Peach & Goat Cheese Salad
OMG you guys, this Beet, Peach & Goat Cheese Salad with walnuts, mint and a balsamic glaze is one awesome creation! I had a friend visiting last week and very little in the fridge to offer. So it was a bit of a scramble to come up with something to make for a light dinner…
Strawberry Mojito
I love Mojitos, especially in the summer when all the fantastic fresh summer fruits are available. The flavor possibilities are abundant. Mojitos are such a refreshing, summery kind of drink. This recipe for a Strawberry Mojito might not be anything new to those who enjoy mojitos but I thought I’d post about it anyways, just…
