We finished up our FOUR Christmases last night, and are back from visiting family in Savannah. I unplugged, ate lots of food, and was extremely lazy. The holidays are fun, but I’m always happy to see them go, and get started on a new year. Have you thought about your New Years Resolutions? Do you [...]

This past weekend we hosted a Sip and See (funny name, I know) for Geoff’s dear friends from Sun Valley. The weather was perfect and it was a fun day that lasted well into the night. Luckily a friend snapped some nice photos of the spread! Bloody Mary Bar Mimosa Bar Snacks and more snacks

For me a salty or spicy bar snack is almost as important as the cocktail I’m washing it down with. So here’s two to buy and two to try. MAKE: Fried Olives | Fried Chickpeas BUY: Trader Joe’s Cashews | Phickles Pickles

The Bloody Mary is one of my favorite weekend brunch drinks. The best come with lots of snacks, cure last nights hangover AND acts as an appetizer. If I’m not making my own mix I prefer Whiskey Willy’s Bloody Mary Mix or Zing Zang will do. If there’s a stout beer on hand such as [...]

I made these recently for my work holiday party, and they were a BIG hit. We had about 18 people and every last drop was cleared out of the punch bowl. If you have trouble following my “recipe” or just need to make a couple of mojitos, I found the inspiration for the punch here. [...]

Having friends over on a Friday night for dinner can be tricky. I work until 6pm and usually need to run around frantically cleaning the house before guests arrive, so a labor intensive meal isn’t always in the cards. We had cocktails and a cheese plate to occupy everyone while the meal was put together, [...]

We’re having friends over for dinner and drinks tonight, and I’m looking forward to doing a little entertaining. I’m not quite ready to dive into the wintry fatty foods just yet, and I don’t want everyone looking for a soft place to curl up and pass out after we eat, so I’ve decided on a [...]

The housewarming party has come and gone, and we are finally to a place where every day isn’t centered around “getting the house ready”. I’ve become horrible about taking photos, and it’s especially difficult when hosting about 60 people, but I wanted to share a few pics along with a tasty drink recipe. I kept [...]

Streamers three ways! Jordan Ferney of Oh Happy Day knows a thing or two about party streamers. I made her fringey streamers recently, and days later she was already giving another how to for Zig Zag Accordion streamers. I can’t decide which one I like better, but both are perfect for a festive party. Subtle [...]
