Thanksgiving Roundup

Thanksgiving Roundup

Thanksgiving came & went in a blink it felt like. This is my favorite meal of the year, hands down. I have hosted/cooked for so many years now, I feel like I have it down to a science; from the prep, to the timing, to 

Tropical Inspired Margarita

Tropical Inspired Margarita

Those that know me, know how much I love a good margarita! When I discovered coconut tequila, it only seemed natural to mix it with pineapple and lime. This became my go-to summer cocktail, and hopefully, yours too! It is simple and refreshing; easy enough

I love a potato salad with bells and whistles like the rest of us, but sometimes, simple is better. It is a no-frills, easy and quick recipe. I especially enjoy this at cookouts because there are often so many flavors happening. This offers a refreshing,
