I find that people either love or hate root beer…there’s no in between. I’m a fellow root beer lover and especially love it during the month of October! It’s become one of my Halloween traditions to make this homemade root beer recipe each year and it pairs perfectly with a good Halloween movie and some…
Recipe
Whipped Ricotta with Balsamic Tomatoes
I wish I could take all the credit for this recipe but I cannot. My good friend Zach introduced this deliciousness to me on the 4th of July this year, when we visited Rafaldini Vineyards in North Carolina. I watched as he assembled the plate and added it to the table with the rest of…
Candy Corn Halloween Cocktails
I feel like you’re either team candy corn or not. There’s no in between. It’s strange, because I never loved candy corn as a kid. I always thought it was waxy and flavorless, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve started liking it more and more. (What does that say about my tastebuds?) If you’re on…
Avocado & Spinach Pesto Pasta
This week is the first time that I’ve felt like Fall is really in the air. I’ve noticed the leaves in the yard starting to turn colors, my sweatshirts are getting some use more often, and I have to bundle up when I take Sophie outside in the mornings. When the evenings start getting chilly,…
Double Chocolate Coffee Bark

Valentine’s Day Passion Cocktail
Life’s been a little crazy lately, as per usual, and I feel like I’m playing catch up around here, but there’s been SO much going on in our little rental house. Josh left for Florida to head back to work for the upcoming baseball season, I started a new job here in Charlotte, which I’m…
Easy Cheeseburger Pasta
This is a sponsored post for SheSpeaks and Pace®. All opinions are my own. After getting married last year, I became a stepmom, which added a whole new element to dinnertime at our house. I hadn’t prepared many dinners for kids before and now trying to find something that my stepson will actually eat is…
Grapefruit Rosemary Mules
Due to the lovely rainy weather in Charlotte lately, there was a slight delay in getting this month’s calendar cocktail shot and posted on the blog, but it’s finally here! (And I even shot a video too! Find it below.) These grapefruit rosemary mules are crisp, refreshing, and I love the citrus kick from the…
Easy Apple and Brie Appetizer
I couldn’t help but squeeze one last blog post into 2019, because this one is so simple and is a perfect appetizer to make to ring in the new year! My family has an on-going new year’s eve dinner tradition that I love. We always get together as a family to game plan our appetizer…
