Rosemary Gin Fizz

Rosemary Gin Fizz cocktail | Breakfast for Dinner

Happy Christmas Eve Eve! Only one day to go until Christmas!

Tomorrow morning J and I are catching a very early plane to Mexico to spend a week in the sun with my family. We aren’t doing any gift exchanging this year - our present to each other is the vacation together! I can’t wait. We’ve had such a rainy, snowy, and cold winter so far - it will feel so good to be blasted with some heat.

This will be my last post until 2017. And what better way to celebrate than a Rosemary Gin Fizz cocktail?! Cocktails may not be breakfast food, but they are certainly appropriate at a brunch party - or any other time of the day after that. 😉

Everyday Green Smoothie

It’s hard to eat your greens in the winter! I love eating salads in the spring and summer, but as soon as winter hits, I am all about the warm cozy food and seriously shun my greens.

But no shunning greens any longer! As soon as I was gifted a Vitamix blender as a wedding present, I became a convert on the green smoothie train. Previously I’d owned a $19.99 blender, which couldn’t puree anything, even soft spinach leaves. Not that you need a Vitamix to make a smoothie - a regular old blender will do - maybe just don’t buy the cheapest blender in the store. 😉

(If you’re on the edge about buying a Vitamix - DO IT. All of your smoothest smoothie dreams will come true. I was on the fence about buying one for YEARS because they’re so expensive, and the first time I used it to make homemade peanut butter in 1 minute flat, I was SOLD. And then the first time I obliterated ice cubes into a frozen margarita, I was SOLD AGAIN. That thing is POWERFUL.)

Homemade Eggnog

Ho, ho, ho, happy December! To celebrate the upcoming holiday season we’re making HOMEMADE EGGNOG! Yes, I said HOMEMADE eggnog!

It’s not that hard, I promise!

It’s way more delicious than a store bought carton, I promise! (And no preservatives!)

Once your friends/colleagues hear you’ve made homemade eggnog, they will all ask for the recipe, I promise!

I’m about to revolutionize your relationship with eggnog. And I’m also about to transform your relationship with rum + eggnog to bourbon + eggnog. TRUST ME.
