The Bloody Mary. It is THE quintessential brunch beverage, yet I only have them at a restaurant. Brunch and Bloody Mary’s go hand in hand. We are going to make a restaurant-style bloody mary recipe at home. I made a killer batch of bloody mary’s last weekend and they were hands-down one of the best I’ve ever had.

First things first, we are making it from scratch. The difference is remarkable when you don’t use a store-bought mix. The drink tastes MUCH fresher and brighter, which if I’m being perfectly honest, can be dangerous.

I’m usually a two drink max kind of girl and I had two drinks in no time flat. Consider yourself warned, because they go down very easily. This is the best bloody mary recipe and one you’ll want to make over and over.

Healthy Granola Recipe with Coconut

February 2, 2019

My healthy granola recipe is made with coconut oil, two types of coconut and almonds. It is good enough to eat on its own, which I do fairly often, but I love it sprinkled on top of yogurt for a little crunch. This granola will last for weeks or even months in an airtight container, but I guarantee it will disappear before you have a chance to find out.

Favorite Blueberry Recipes for Summer

July 1, 2018

Blueberries are my favorite fruit and based on the number of blueberry recipes I write, it’s pretty obvious that I’m biased to this little berry. While most of the recipes are sweet, blueberry also works well in savory dishes, like that blueberry bourbon bbq sauce in the bottom corner.

July is National Blueberry Month and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than to “blueberry all the things”. While the season is over here, it is in full swing in other parts of the country and blueberries are readily available. Let’s make some blueberry recipes and celebrate this sweet little fruit.
