Hey guys! How has your summer been going? We’ve been getting in lots of socially distant beach time over here, so I’ll take it!

If you saw my review of Shaker and Spoon last month, you already know that I’ve been a busy little cocktailing bee since quarantine started and it’s been so fun! I mean, we all needed a hobby, right? Some of you started baking sourdough bread, I started making drinks.

Plus, I figured now was a pretty good time to put out a cocktail for you guys. I know a lot of you are parents currently trying to figure out what the hell to do about school, and just typing that sentence makes me want to grab a drink.

We haven’t heard anything at all from our school district yet, so I’m doing my best not to think (or worry) about it until then. So either way, it’s Lavender Gin Sour time!

Shaker & Spoon Review | The Best Cocktail Subscriptions

June 4, 2020 By Stephanie Leave a Comment

This Shaker & Spoon Review will tell you everything you need to know about the Shaker & Spoon cocktail subscription boxes and compare it with the other top cocktail subscription boxes!

Hey guys! Hope you’re all well, we’re hanging in here. I wanted to share with you guys something that’s been giving the hubs and I life lately, the Shaker & Spoon cocktail subscription club!

We’ve been getting the boxes now for the last three months and I thought that for those of you possibly debating whether or not to start a cocktail subscription (or which cocktail subscription to choose), I’d give you guys all the deets so you can decide for yourself if it’s something you might want to try out.

I mean, I could use a stiff drink right about now, you?

Not to mention that there are two things that make humans the world over really, really happy. A good surprise and getting packages in the mail (and we could all use a little extra happy at the moment!). So ✓, ✓ and ✓.

Btw, all of the photos in this post are from the May “Girls Just Wanna Have Bourbon” box 🙂 Btw, we totally do.

Ok, let’s get to it!

These Easy Whole Wheat Blender Crepes are the best make-ahead breakfast or brunch! So perfect for a special Mother’s Day breakfast, plus they’re 21 Day Fix and Weight Watchers friendly!

Hey guys! I know, two posts in one week?! What is even happening over here? Well currently I’m alone inside my house actually being able to get a little work done, which, like for basically everyone, has been really hard lately.

So a big shout-out to my husband for keeping the kiddos outside long enough for me to be able to form a thought or two that doesn’t revolve around them being either bored, hungry, or more likely, both. You feel me, parents, I know you do (and hey, maybe my last post – these Honey Paloma Cocktails – can help you like they’ve been helping me 😉 ).

Anyway, Mother’s Day is practically here (only 4 days away!), so let’s get to these crazy-delicious and easy whole wheat blender crepes.

Honey Paloma Cocktail Recipe

May 2, 2020 By Stephanie Leave a Comment

The Honey Paloma is an easy and delicious tequila-based drink that’s perfect to pair with all of your favorite Mexican dishes! It’s also a Weight Watchers and 21 Day Fix cocktail, plus it’s gluten-free and low-carb!

Hiya foodies! I hope you’re all safe and healthy and well. And if you’re lucky enough for all of those things to describe you, then I hope you’re also ready to celebrate Cinco de Mayo this week! Because don’t we all need and deserve Mexican food and drinks in this time of crisis? Tacos and tequila are basically a comforting blanket of love.

As I write this, it’s the first of May, and as some of you may know (ha!), it’s my favorite month. It’s my and my baby sister’s birthday month, the month of celebrating mamas (like my amazing one!) and Cinco de Mayo, which also just so happens to be my little blog’s 5th birthday. She’s getting so big!

With that being said, before we get on with the show, I did want to take a second to give you, sweet reader, some bottom-of-my-heart gratitude. I seriously love you people. You have no idea how much every single share, recommendation, Insta story, message, email, pin, etc.. means to me. You guys let me do this thing that I love so much, and I’ll be forever grateful for that.

So thank you ♥

Easy Healthy Pantry Meals {Budget-Friendly!}

March 17, 2020 By Stephanie 2 Comments

These easy, healthy pantry meals use ONLY pantry ingredients making them super budget-friendly! Perfect for camping, using up pantry items and.. um.. quarantine?

Hey guys! How are all of you?? We’re doing ok here. I’m basically considering myself lucky that I already work from home, waiting to hear from the kids school about remote learning and hoping to pick up maybe one more package of TP. You feel me.

Anyway, I’ve been thinking a lot about all of you and how I might be able to help you in some small way in this insane time we’re living in. I know a lot of grocery stores are still pretty empty (which, btw, is why I didn’t end up putting out a meal plan last week), depending on where you are, so I wanted to get some easy, delicious and healthy pantry meals to you asap.

So on Sunday, I opened my pantry, took stock of what I had on hand and wrote out 10 recipes to test (9 of which made it to this list, so not too shabby!). I wanted to title this post “A foodie in the time of coronavirus”, but I thought that would be hard to search google for.

Oh, google, aside from my husband, you’re the one constant in my life.
