Cocktail Friday: Halloween Edition

I’m going to be up-front about something: I’m not the biggest fan of Halloween. That is, I wasn’t-until I discovered the adult version of this rather spontaneous holiday.

Sure, a dip in the pool is great, but sipping on this tart and slightly salty cocktail is a refreshing vacation-in-a-glass that can be whipped up at a moments notice. Grab that margarita glass and your favorite tequila, then sit [...]

Sometimes you just have to think simple. As summer heats up, I’m finding myself on the patios of my favorite watering holes more and more often. I’ll quietly take in the Milwaukee night life as I sip on a cold beverage, letting my mind unwind from a long day at the office. While most people would reach [...]

It’s going to be HOT this weekend. H-O-T HOT! I’m excited and actually looking forward to the stifling, sticky heat wave. It means lunches at my favorite little restaurant along the river, sipping on cool margaritas in pretty mason jars, lazy days on the beach with my big floppy hat and trusty bottle of SPF [...]

Cocktail Fridays: Carrot Cake

Taste of Home Field Editor, Pam Brooks, shares her story and recipe, for a sweet and delicious cocktail. Happy Friday! Maybe it’s been the unusually warm weather.  Or the spanking brand-new camper waiting for us at the campground, but I suspect it’s the fact that I’m neck-deep at work and overwhelmed at school that makes [...]

The weekend is finally here. Ahead of us are two days of relaxation and bliss – snowshoeing through the woods on a fresh blanket of snow, ice skating on a frozen lake, jumping and twirling in the air, sitting on a hill, enjoying spoonfuls of hearty chicken soup while surveying the snowy landscape below. It’s [...]

It took awhile, but winter is finally here in all of it’s frigid, white glory.  Snow is falling, swirling through the sky like little white fairies, catching on scarves and eyelashes.
