Boston Cream Pie Martini {National Pie Day}
When I discovered it was National Pie Day I also discovered that I do not have a single “Pie” recipe on Lemony Thyme. I like pies, on occasion or for an occasion. But I’m not drawn to them. Pie crust on the other hand speaks to me. And filled with something savory…well that’s when a pie becomes personal. All that being said, I’m sharing a Boston Cream Pie Martini today. Go figure.

Carrot Cake Shooters {Surreal Bites}
“We eat with our eyes first.” I’m a believer. One of my most favorite cookbooks is Surreal Gourmet Bites by Bob Blumer. Below are a number of the “showstoppers and conversations starters” that can be found in this gem of a book and on the pages of Lemony Thyme. Today, as a Thanksgiving treat I am making Carrot Cake Shooters kicked up with a little splash of Irish Cream Liqueur.

White Russian {TGIF}
Shelby came through the door tonight…Lilah could barely hide her excitment….and I, I just want to keep her. Ah the Empty Nesters! “Mom, do you know how to make a White Russian?” Why yes I do!

The Classic Mojito {TGIF}
I think tonight is a great night for a Classic Mojito. I believe we’ve got a touch of Indian Summer breaking through what has been a crazy week of weather and my fresh mint is still thriving in it’s own private garden. I had my first Mojito several years ago while vacationing in Puerto Rico. Already a rum lover….I was quickly hooked. I’ve since made Keylime Mojitos, Strawberry Mojitos, and still my favorite The Classic Mojito.

Bloody Caesar Spicy Shrimp Shooters
First it was the Green Bloody Mary, then the Bloody Mary Dressing for our Avocado & Shrimp Salad….both which inspired these Bloody Caesar Spicy Shrimp Shooters.

Green Bloody Mary
The Bloody Mary has come a long way baby from tomato juice & vodka. The myriad of spices and seasonings and sauces that can transform this drink is endless. If I only owned a juicer….just think how cool and colorful Mary could become (hint hint). Today we’ll stick with our every day humble blender and create a fresh crisp Green Bloody Mary.

Almond Joy Iced Coffee {National Coffee Day}
Today is National Coffee Day! I’m not sure who declares all these ‘National’ Days but thank you, whoever you are, for this one. Coconut and Chocolate belong together. Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t. Today it’s nuts. ~ Almond Joy Iced Coffee Recipe ~

Salted Caramel {Ancho Chili} Mocha Latte
Salted Caramel Ancho Chili Mocha. This is for all my Starbuck’s loving friends. Never got out of my pj’s (okay I know….most of you go to Starbuck’s drive-thru in your jammies too), but I didn’t have to open the garage door….which meant I didn’t wake any sleeping babies (in my case Shelby and Lilah)….you see where I’m headed.

Strawberry Rhubarb Daiquiri
Every summer an array of rhubarb recipes pop up in my favorite cooking magazines and websites. And based on the rhubarb bunches in the back of farmer’s pick up trucks at the farmers’ market….it’s an abundant ingredient right now. When I think of rhubarb I can’t help but think of strawberry rhubarb pie. And when I think of pie I am fondly reminded of Grammy’s amazing baking pantry complete with a pie rack perched on the window sill opening to the back yard where we played dress up for hours and had picnics with our dolls and teddy bears.
