Autumn has officially arrived and I love the idea of a warm, cozy sip that uses locally grown apples with bourbon and smoky mezcal. This one is delicious for a swanky cocktail party but also works just fine in a red solo cup next to a bonfire or on a hayride.
The dog days of summer require something cool, strong, and slightly sweet - this one is just the ticket. Quick and easy to whip up…but impressive as a pre-dinner cocktail or for just sippin’ on the back porch. Feel free to increase the amount of vodka depending on your day -
Something magical happens when goat cheese is paired with summer tomatoes and juicy ripe peaches. This super quick salad works well as a starter course, but also equally impresses as an appetizer when served with our firecrackers or buttery grilled toast. We especially love the bright green nuance of fresh basil and mint from the garden, even though added bits of zesty arugula or watercress would make this the summer salad to end all summer salads….
Nothing on the planet is more delicious than fresh tomatoes steeped in olive oil, basil, and fresh garlic. Our SUMMER TOMATO TOAST is simple, but promises to be the belle of this year’s Fourth of July pool, lake, or river party. The tomatoes gain sweet complexity the longer they sit…so prep about an hour before guest arrival to ensure maximum flavor…and guest adoration.

Who doesn’t love a delicious, spicy Bloody Mary during the holidays, especially the morning after over indulging at the party the night before? Hair of the reindeer, so to speak. We’ve taken this classic cocktail to the next level while giving it a fun Mid Century twist by adding gelatin and a dill pickle as a serving vessel. A blast to make, but even more fun to sip and nibble as a delectable, whimsical amalgamation of appetizer and adult beverage. Thanks to the folks at THE IDLE CLASS magazine, these little pucker worthy gems were the hit of a recent Mid Century Modern cocktail party hosted by your truly at Holidaze Holiday bar in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
I abhorred baked potatoes when I was a kid growing up in Missouri; my parents leaving me at the dinner table until I had eaten every last brown skinned, starchy bite. They quite literally made me gag, especially cold and flabby after everyone had left the table. At some point, I discovered the secret of embellishing the root vegetable with an obscene amount of butter, sour cream, with salt and pepper. Suddenly, they became one of my favorites…and are still to this day
