Confession. I snipped this rosemary from the neighbor’s yard, but he has a massive plant with plenty to spare. Rosemary is one of my favorite herbs in the kitchen, and I especially love it in cocktails with vodka or gin. This recipe is easy so give it a try! * Muddle rosemary, lemon and local [...]

POPCORN | HONEY | GIN FIZZ | MARTINI This week I have four picks featuring one of my favorite herbs. Rosemary pairs so well with red meat, pork or shrimp, and I love using it in cocktails too. Tonight we are having friends over, and I’m going to take a stab at the [...]

Did you know we have wineries in North Georgia? I didn’t realize this until we went on a group hike in Helen that was followed by a little wine tour. Some of the wines were better than others, we had a nice view, and its a relaxing getaway close to home. After quite a few [...]
