I’m going to be bold here and come out and say it: I think the margarita is the perfect cocktail. I love margaritas; they’re playful and don't have to be sweet- instead their fresh citrus flavors speak for themselves, plus when it comes to alcohols we all know that tequila is a party in a bottle. So, when it comes to the drink recipe I reach for when I want to make a big batch of cocktails for a party it’s that one. However, they do have a downfall. It drives me absolutely bonkers to have ...

Strawberry, Lime, and Basil Summer Sangria
It isn’t even technically summer yet but Denver is scorching hot! So I’ve decided to start my Summer Drink Series just a tad early- it was 97 degrees today in June so I’m thinking that that qualifies as summer in my book- summer solstice or no summer solstice! To kick this cocktail party off, I’ve created a refreshing white wine summer sangria with a few of my favorite flavors- plus you can’t go wrong with riesling and tequila! This pitcher of sangria is super easy to create, all you need ... Read More about Strawberry, Lime, and Basil Summer Sangria

Meatless Monday: Nopalitos Breakfast Tacos
Hello Darlings! Carrying on my desert theme from this weekend's Summer Drink Series Margarita post, I thought it would be fun to create a recipe with cactus! Normally I tend to enjoy the cactus fruit ( prickly pear gelato is to die for!) but I thought it would be fun to try a bit of the succulent side of the plant. Nopalitos, the prepared paddles of the prickly pear plant, are easy to work with and give an interesting, vaguely sweet flavor to your typical morning ...
