An Old Fashioned Christmas Cocktail
Coming up with a signature Christmas cocktail has been one of my favorite new traditions that started because of this blog. We almost always have a cocktail hour before Christmas dinner, whether it’s a small affair with just Tory, our husbands and parents, or our more extended family. And it’s fun to be able to…
Hash Brown Crusted Halibut with Mango Salsa
I saw this halibut recipe on an episode of The Kitchen and knew that it was a great opportunity to try for Lent. I can’t count the number of times that hash browns, home fries, or American fried potatoes have been a part of our fish meals – so it was a natural for me…
Orange Dreamsicles

Christmas Coconut Coolers

Swedish Kringler
Last year for Christmas, Tory & I both got one of those genetic ancestry tests. Beyond your heritage it also shows health data and even if you may have preferences for certain things. We know that genetics play a role in certain taste aversions, like if cilantro tastes like soap to you. I love the…
