Everything’s better in Paris.
At least, that’s what they say. While I cannot personally attest to this global attitude (yet!), I have to admit that the French just know how to do things right. Croissants, cheese, wine, escargot (surprisingly delicious!), and chocolate.
Good grief. I’ll never buy powdered hot cocoa again after trying this Peppermint French Hot Chocolate. If this is any indication of how much better things taste in France, I’m booking a ticket ASAP. [Read more…]
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…]
It’s been a rough winter; long, cold, painfully wet. Now my tulips are pushing their way through the dirt, the geese are flying north, and I’m ready for something light and refreshing to snack on. Enter Cream Cheese Mints.
These are one of my favorite treats. I’ve always loved mints in any form, especially those little butter mints! Homemade mints taste so much better.
I like making cream cheese mints because they’re pretty fast to whip together and they taste so good homemade. The trouble with them, though, is that they have to lay out in the open to dry for a good day or two to dry. Which is murder on my self-control.
Sometimes I make these mints into long ropes and then cut them into small pieces. This time, I formed individual flat round discs and used a fork to press a pattern into the top of each mint.
Can I tell you what these are great for?
Family get togethers. Parties. Bridal showers. Girls nights. Wednesdays.
I made them because it was Wednesday.
