This beautifully Bright Blueberry Gin Cocktail is as refreshing as it is visually stunning! This easy gin cocktail recipe uses only 4 ingredients.

The first sip of this Classic Irish Coffee will have you hooked! This traditional Irish coffee recipe combines extra strong coffee, brown sugar, and Irish whiskey, then is topped with a layer of gently whipped cream.

Its smooth and slightly sweet flavor makes it the perfect after dinner drink on Saint Patrick’s Day or anytime of year!
Polynesian Passion Cocktail
Tropical and subtly sweet, my Polynesian Passion Cocktail is deliciously drinkable! Deep, dark vanilla rum combines with passion fruit juice, fresh lime juice, and a touch of grenadine to create a beautifully balanced cocktail that will make you feel like you are in a tropical paradise! Similar to a Mai-Tai cocktail, this Polynesian Passion Cocktail has fewer ingredients, but just as much flavor.
Elderflower Vodka Tonic
This Elderflower Vodka Tonic cocktail has crisp citrus and floral notes with subtle sweetness and a characteristic bitter finish from the tonic water. This 4 ingredient cocktail recipe tastes more exotic than a traditional vodka tonic. A refreshingly different cocktail that can easily be made keto friendly!
Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butter
This Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butter is absolutely heavenly, and pairs beautifully as a topping for my Perfect Pumpkin Pancakes. This variation of brown sugar butter also tastes amazing on buttermilk pancakes, waffles, and oatmeal. This easy 4 ingredient brown sugar butter recipe has just the right amount of cinnamon, and is whipped to creamy perfection!

Nutty Indoor S'mores
When the weather starts to cool down and you start missing summer campfires, my Nutty Indoor S’mores are the perfect fix. This quick and easy dessert has a special twist from traditional s’mores. Pillowy marshmallows combine with my Homemade Nutella (recipe coming soon!) and roasted hazelnuts to give them that extra bit of crunch & flavor. This 4 ingredient recipe takes less than 10 minutes to make, and can easily be made gluten-free and vegan!
Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass
Sweet and savory flavors infuse our Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass. This delicate sea bass gets exquisite flavor from being coated in a simple 4 ingredient marinade for 24 hours. Whether it's grilled, baked, broiled, or pan seared & baked, it turns out beautifully every time. Serve with our Sauteed Sugar Snap Peas and our Coconut Forbidden Rice for an Asian influenced meal that is sure to please your palate. Inspired by the miso glazed black cod recipe at the famous Japanese restaurant, Nobu, this impressive Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass is surprisingly easy to make.
