Summertime’s not over yet! Cool off before it cools down with this simple (and individually made!) Blackberry Sangria Spritzer.
I loved my Blackberry Mint Spritzer that I had to make another drink with blackberries before the summer was over. (Don’t look at me like I’ve lost my mind. I haven’t — it’s still summertime here.)
This time, thought?
We’re makin’ it with alcohol.
Specifically, wine.
Because why not? [Read more…]
In these last few days of summer I have been craving fresh fruit! My husband and I love to indulge in a little sweet each night but have had lots of discussions about our health and not wanting to consume Sonic ice cream multiple times a week 😉
This fresh and simple dessert came to mind one night when I was craving something sweet but didn’t want to spend more money at the store! Because who is going to spend the time making shortcake when you could just sub already made biscuits and get just as good of a dessert? Not this girl.
I know it’s hard to believe, but the holidays are right around the corner. Before we know it, we’re all going to have ugly sweaters on the couch, party dresses in the closet, champagne chilling in the fridge, and holly draping the staircase. There will be parties galore, and you’ll probably need a dish for each and every one. Today I’m here to help with an easy little appetizer – Beet Salad on a stick!
When you assemble the salad, I find it’s best to skewer the beet first followed by the goat cheese. I found this is the best order, as the goat cheese tends to crumble a bit. So by putting the cheese in the middle you’re salad tends to stay together better.
If you know me, you know I love recipe that can be changed up, so here’s my suggestions. Since this is a salad . . . you can add lettuce. I’ll let that bomb sink in for a few seconds. I’d put two pieces surrounding the cheese or just serve it over a plate of lettuce. And finally, I sometimes – if I have it around the house – like to add some orange juice to the dressing to give it a little bang. Each bite should have all of the above for an explosion of flavor! Yum!
Cool down this September with a flavorful Blackberry Mint Spritzer. Made with fresh blackberries, mint, simple syrup and ginger ale, this drink will become a fast favorite!
I don’t know what the weather’s like where y’all live, but the summer is still going strong in Texas. Which is why I’m steadfastly refusing anything/everything involving pumpkin and the fall since we’ve got at least another month of summertime. [Read more…]
