Happy Happy Friday!!! Jeez laweez y’all it’s almost the weekend woohoo! I really hope I’m not boring y’all with yet another take on my favorite cocktail in the whole world, the Gin and Tonic, but I obviously couldn’t help myself.
Technically, strawberries are not in season right now, and they’re looking & tasting a little less than awesome around this time of year, but I had some and figured why not throw them into my drink for some beautiful color and flavor?
Oh and in my opinion mint also goes so nicely with strawberries so I threw a little bit of that in too. This drink, like most G & T’s isn’t overly sweet (which I actually prefer in cocktails) but has a slight hint of strawberry and a slight hint of mint. This to me is very refreshing and light, and if that’s your thing too then I think you’ll really enjoy this. Have a fabulous day and weekend and thank you so much stopping by!
strawberries, mint, lime juice, sugar…
all smooshed…
now put the above mixture into your glass and put the other strawberries in…
then add the Gin, Tonic, Ice, then enjoy!!! 
- 2-3 Teaspoons of Granulated Sugar.
- 3-4 Fresh Strawberries.
- 1 Lime Wedge.
- 2 Sprigs of Fresh Mint.
- 2 Ounces of Gin.
- Tonic Water.
- In a tall glass or shaker, place 1-2 strawberries that has been sliced into your glass, as well as the sugar, the juice from the lime wedge and mint.
- With a large spoon or end of a wooden spoon, muddle these ingredients together.
- Now put this mixture into your serving glass, add another sliced strawberry, the Gin, ice, and fill to the top with tonic water.
- Serve and enjoy.
To me, what is so fun about quiche is that you can throw in any number or mix and match of ingredients, and it’s completely okay. If you love your veggies and cheese, throw that in, if you like your stuff a little more unique (like myself) then throw in whatever sounds best to you. 
I recently had some goat cheese stuffed figs (a seasonal favorite) and they were absolutely fabulous, and it got me thinking about throwing those exact items into a quiche, because why not right? 
I then thought the flavor might be amped up even more if some cooked turkey bacon and onions went in too, and y’all the results were absolutely fantastic. The tanginess of the goat cheese, the saltiness of the turkey bacon and then the subtle sweetness of the fig toppers is perfection. I hope you’re having a fantastic week so far and thank you so much for stopping by!
cut up bacon into your pan with the onion…
eggs, heavy, cream, salt, pepper and goat cheese into the bowl…
all mixed…
bacon and onions into your pan…
egg mixture onto your bacon/onion layer…
figs on top (you can put more if you like)…
and enjoy!!!
I honestly have no idea how parents do it, I have no kids (except a giant fur baby) and I feel spent, and I know some of y’all have the same work load/commute/life shenanigans AND have kids, so props to y’all, this drink is for you. I would like to emphasize that I do not, nor have I ever believed alcohol to be the fixer of problems, but dang, sometimes the day/week/month/weird co-worker just calls for it 🙂 
The Boozy Georgia Peach isn’t exactly a Southern classic since I literally threw it together my last cheat day, but it definitely should be, because holy moly this is delicious!! Just imagine an incredible fresh peach milkshake with that wonderful extra oomph from the Brandy and Vodka, and voila the making of an amazing dessert cocktail. This is beyond good, please, just go make it ASAP. Have a wonderful day, an even better weekend and thank you so much for stopping by!
Forgot to take a pic of the rest of the ingredients in the blender, my bad…but here it is all blended…
and enjoy!!!
Putting coffee or espresso with ice cream has a name, Affogato which in Italian actually means ‘drowned’, yikes, right? But don’t let the meaning freak you out, because drowning your Gelato in coffee or espresso is such a delicious idea, it’s not to be missed. 
Y’all, I even took the extra easy way out and used my Keurig because I didn’t feel like brewing a whole pot haha. I love the dichotomy of hot mixed with cold, but honestly I think the pre-made iced coffee would be as equally as delicious in this too. For a wonderful little treat, I definitely think you should make this on your next cheat day 🙂 Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day! 
Honestly most low carb, high protein desserts have a really bad habit of tasting like what you would expect, okay, but lacking, you know? I can honestly say that this Snickerdoodle Cheesecake was not even remotely disappointing…does it taste like a freshly baked New York style cheesecake? no, but it definitely doesn’t taste like it’s low carb and high protein. 
This cheesecake turned out to be perfectly satisfying and just exactly what I needed 
I definitely think you should make this if you’re having a major hankering for dessert, but are not exactly allowed to at the moment. Oh, and did I mention this was darn easy to make, way easier than normal cheesecake in my opinion haha. I hope you are having a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by! 
mix these guys up, then add your yogurt and egg whites…
mix, mix, mix, then add the vanilla and protein powder…
mix until nice and smooth…
then into your pie pan…
bake, bake, bake…
then enjoy!!! 
I am not at all complaining, I promise, I love when friends and family send me stuff that they think would be fun/delicious to make, but it got funnier and funnier every time someone else would send me this recipe. 
I think I finally answered everyone back with a huge promise that I would make this recipe on my next cheat day. Honestly, like all things that are hyped up I get very skeptical and hope that it lives up to mine and everyone’s expectations, but I’m very happy to tell you guys that this one totally did. I cannot believe how much like a strawberry daiquiri this tasted like, except better because it’s so light. 
Like all alcohol, it doesn’t freeze perfectly solid, but the perfect icy consistency the Rosé cubes become is awesome and I was so tempted to sit there and eat a few of them haha. This drink was so deliciously cold, and the perfect mixture of the champagne and strawberry flavors, absolutely a must make. I hope you have a fabulous Friday and an even better weekend, and as always thank you so much for stopping by!
champagne into your trays…
after these freeze, place strawberries, sugar into your blender…
then grenadine, vodka and frozen Rosé
blend, blend, blend…
and enjoy!!!
Corn on the cob is pretty much a staple around these parts in the summertime, and though I love me some corn on the cob, I love kicking up the delicious factor by throwing it in a skillet and frying it up! This is a recipe courtesy of my mom, who in my opinion has perfected this skillet fried corn. 
Don’t let the word ‘frying’ freak you out either because there are no giant vats of oil or frying baskets that need be used for this. This is pretty darn easy and not to mention ding dang delicious. I feel like this skillet fried corn turns out to be the perfect mixture of sweet and creamy, but enough savory to put this over the top as an awesome side dish. 
The hardest part of about this dish is just the waiting for it thicken up, but even then, this probably took me 20 minutes from beginning to end to cook. I hope you all are having a fantastic week so far and as always thank you so much for stopping by! 
when you’re done with that, add your butter in your skillet to start melting…
now add your corn to your skillet…
cook that up a bit then add your water…
cook up a bit more, then add your cornstarch and then your cream…
cook some more and enjoy!!! 
This drink is definitely a happy accident. I had had another idea for a drink that was similar and it just wasn’t coming together properly, so looking into my fridge I realized I had a ton of lemonade left from another drink and some gorgeous looking blackberries sitting pretty in there too. 
Those were definitely my starting points, but I knew it needed a touch of one of my favorite things, a Gin and tonic, yummy! I will say if you are not at all a fan of Gin and tonics and think they’re not sweet enough for you, then this is the perfect cocktail for you. 
The gorgeous blackberries mixed with the fresh lemonade is deliciously sweet but light tasting, and of course the tonic adds the bubbly and the Gin 
all smooshed…
lemonade added…
then add your Gin and Tonic water and enjoy!!! 
I seriously have tried to like it, but it makes me feel like a pile of garbage every single time I drink it, and honestly I don’t think it tastes all that fabulous either #sorryagainnotsorryagain. I did though love the idea of an alcoholic ice cream, but I wanted something that I thought would taste super amazing as well. Hello to blackberry wine, which for some reason I can totally drink without it making me feel awful, and it tastes reeeaally good, in my opinion the way I had envisioned wine would taste when I was kid haha. 
This ice cream is freaking amazing y’all, so deliciously cold and sweet with just enough of that blackberry wine flavor that’s so good. This would be such a wonderful treat to make this weekend for your Sunday brunch or just a really relaxed Saturday 🙂 I hope you have a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by! 
into your ice cream maker…
into a separate container, and I added some blackberries here, but I don’t recommend because they freeze too hard…
and enjoy!!!
Anyways, I am bringing y’all something today that is perfect for those of you who are maybe having a less than stellar first week so far (or even better, an awesome week), Funfetti Cake Dip! Writing those three little words together makes me so happy. 
This dip is crack with sprinkles you guys, like holy moly, just go ahead and eat the whole bowl by yourself kind of awesome–FYI, I didn’t, but it was tempting. This dip straight up tastes like Funfetti cake batter that is totally acceptable to eat without the worry of raw eggs (not that I do anyway, but you know what I’m saying). 
This seriously takes a quick second to make and I can’t emphasize enough how delicious and wonderful this dip is 🙂 Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for stopping by! 
vanilla yogurt…
cool whip and sprinkles…
mix, mix, mix…
and enjoy!!!
