How to Create the Perfect Sangria

June 22nd, 2013

Sangria FruitsI have to admit, I love Sangria, but it always seems so intimidating to make. Where do you start or stop with the ingredients to get it perfect?

I usually drink Chardonnay and I’ve found a few recipes for white wine Sangria I like: Summer Raspberry & Serrano White Sangria being one of the most unusual with the addition of Serrano peppers for a kick, and Autumn White Wine Punch that uses plums and a sweet fruity wine.

I picked up some peaches at the market and I’m trying the recipe below this weekend. I’m making it with Barefoot Chardonnay as the price was right for a large 1.5 liter bottle (under $10.) I think this will be a refreshing summer cocktail and perfect to serve at a Summer White Party, too.

Eat Yourself Silly BBQ Chicken Salad Recipe

June 15th, 2013

It’s summer and BBQ is the favorite buzzword when it comes to summer cooking.  We love to sit on the patio, kick back, relax and fire up the grill.  I always have my hubby barbecue extra chicken so lunch the next day (and beyond) is a snap.

One of my favorite recipes for left over barbecue chicken is this Eat Yourself Silly BBQ Chicken Salad full of healthy veggies.  I shred my left over chicken and mix with spinach (or lettuce), black beans, corn, avocado, jicama, green or red onions, Roma tomatoes and cilantro, toss with Ranch Salad Dressing, top with tortilla strips and serve.  Enjoy!

30 Creative Shot Recipe Ideas

June 14th, 2013

Alabama Slammer ShotSometimes a party calls for a signature cocktail and we’ve had some that were fabulous and some that needed a few more tweaks to get it right.

How about shots? When is the last time you were at a party that served a creative and tasty shot? Not a jello shot, although we have nothing against them, but a real shot that is something besides tequila, salt and a lime?

Sweet Bird Baby Shower

June 12th, 2013

Bird Baby Shower Ideas

A bird themed baby shower is fun any time of the year, but a shower held during the spring and summer, you can get creative with the food, drink and decorations.  We love the taste and the look of the Strawberry Lemonade Sparkler.  Even if a baby boy is on the way, pink is always fun for the mother-to-be and female guests.
