Caramel Apple Cider

Posted on December 6, 2012 by m&m

Nothing says fall like apple cider. I love curling up with a book in my favorite chair with a hot, steamy mug apple cider spiked with homemade caramel and cinnamon. It also makes a great warm drink for holiday parties. Caramel Apple Cider 1 cup apple cider 1 teaspoon caramel sauce 1 cinnamon stick Warm … Continue reading »

White Wine Sangria

Posted on June 8, 2012 by m&m

Sangria is one of my favorite things to make in the summer. You can make up a big pitcher and it’s just a party in a glass. For some reason, it transports me to the beach or a picnic or a cookout– maybe it’s the fun colors. You can make infinite varieties and I love … Continue reading »

Brandied “Maraschino” Cherries

Posted on February 17, 2012 by m&m

From time to time, we have Manhattans while hanging around the apartment. We never buy Maraschino cherries though, so they’re never quite right to me. This past Christmas, I was thinking about what I could make and give away. I usually do something chocolate or even cookies, but this year I wanted to do something … Continue reading »

Winter Fruits Smoothie

Posted on February 3, 2012 by m&m

This time of year, I’m really missing fruit. I’m tired of eating apples and citrus is great, but I want some berries. My only option is frozen fruit, but I don’t like thawed frozen fruit unless I blend it up into a smoothie. This one was a great one because it had the right amount … Continue reading »

Affogato Milkshake

Posted on May 30, 2011 by m&m

Affogato is one of my favorite desserts when it’s done well, but because of the espresso I only let myself have it when I don’t need to go to bed early. My favorite mornings are when I run out of milk and get to use a little vanilla ice cream in my coffee. And that’s … Continue reading »

Basil Lime Daiquiri

Posted on May 10, 2011 by m&m

I read about a drink they make at ABC Kitchen, and I had to try it. The version I made was similar to one off another blog, so it’s not exactly as they make it at ABC Kitchen, but it’s really tasty. Basil Lime Daiquiri Rum For simple syrup: 1 bunch basil 1 cup water … Continue reading »

Spring means Iced Tea

Posted on April 24, 2011 by m&m

While I’m not big into fixing cocktails, a delicious pitcher of iced tea on a warm spring day is a favorite. There’s not much of a recipe for this one, I just brew a couple tea bags (I used mint tea) and squeeze 2 lemons and 2 limes into it. I sweeten it with a … Continue reading »
