Boozy Eggnog Milkshake w/ Maker’s 46

Things that make me happy: Elliot, brunch, NAPS, metallic shoes, pink Christmas trees, silver Christmas trees, mini Christmas trees and boozy milkshakes. So when Maker’s Mark contacted me and was all “Hey girl, want to make an eggnog cocktail with fancy bourbon?!” I responded with a super profesh-ish, “Hell yeah.” Or something like that. When I think of eggnog, I think of it kinda as drinking an ice cream base. Which is weird of me,…

South X Saints // Sunday Supper

I popped into Atlanta over the weekend because I needed fried chicken. Erika’s fried chicken to be exact! You see, my girl’s been hosting South X Saints dinners every month. I knew in my heart that I had to make it to one, so over the weekend, we Sunday Suppered. (Did you know we met in Florida a couple years ago?! We bonded over weird food and late night spaghetti with Cindy.) I painted my nails with…

Bourbon Gingersnap Ice Cream

I was in Toronto last weekend, and I just really regret not buying the Don’t Drake and Drive shirt… so when I saw bb pumpkin chocolate truffles at Trader Joe’s, I had to get them. I could picture them as the cherry-on-the-sundae type deal for a cone like this. And not to be all “Toronto this” and “Toronto that”, but I had the best ice cream there! Chocolate Ginger Milk, guys. A spicy dream of a situation,…

Watermelon Mint Julep

Whoa. This is what it looks like when granites, snow cones, mint juleps and bourbon collide. And it’s delicious. I’d recommend handing one of these to everyone with a summer birthday. Put a candle in it! Top it with sprinkles! Sip it in the backyard in your pajama’s best while your dog lounges in the sun. Sip it on the porch while you wait for a ride. CHUG it when your car is in the…

Thanksgiving 2014 // A Recap

Change is good, right?! This year Thanksgiving was a different one for me. I stayed in Michigan (instead of flying to Minnesota, like usual) and cooked for my boyfriend, his parents, da roommate, his mom, sister and aunt. So we painted pumpkins gold, bought cloth napkins, planned out the menu, put a wreath on the front door, and lugged tables to the basement bar. I did a bunch of prep at home. Things like making, drying…

Boozy Chocolate Bourbon Parfaits

Guys. I’m making Thanksgiving dinner this year. (Please leave turkey tips in the comments, f’real.) And I have this thing where I’m all “We need at least 3, maybe 4 desserts.” But the truth is, that’s kinda cray. So this year I’m making 2 desserts. THIS is one of them! Except they’ll be mini-mini, and probably will have whipped cream on top, and maybe chocolate turkeys. (There won’t be any chocolate poultry, I promise.) Unfortunately, I’m…
