Summer Thyme Sangria Will Ease You Right Into the Weekend!
Refreshing Summer Thyme Sangria will ease you right into the weekend. I mean shoes off, feet up, summer breeze blowing in your hair. Are you with me? This light and fruity sipper is gentle enough for brunch. It’s perfect to share with friends. Pretty enough for the front porch yet begs for the backyard! Use your favorite fruits of the season with a bottle of nice crispy white wine. Adding a few other flavor enhancers like vodka, simple syrup, and a sprig or two of lemony thyme (or your favorite fresh herb) add complexity.

Rosemary Watermelon Juice {Share the Love}
Rosemary Watermelon Juice. As we head into summer and backyard BBQ’s, there’s a good chance we’ll find ourselves with half a watermelon taking up way too much space in the Frigidaire. I did. Water-melon. Water. Flavored water. Do you see where I’m headed?

Peach, Berry & Basil Fruit Salad {with Orange Vinaigrette}
Peach, Berry & Basil Fruit Salad with Orange Vinaigrette. Something special happens when the warm orange vinaigrette meets the sliced peaches and berries. Something really special. This wonderful Peach, Berry & Basil Fruit Salad is sweet and sexy enough to be served as dessert. I say let ’em eat dessert for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

This Strawberry Pecan Cake is a family recipe. One that has been passed down from generation to generation. Granny Cile, aka The Cake Lady, shared her cake craft with our community for many years. Whether it was baking for a church event or delivering her signature cakes to the parish hall for a family in need, Granny baked.

Summer Thyme Sangria {with Watermelon & Rosemary}
Summer Thyme Sangria {with Watermelon & Rosemary} We recently attended a “Stock the Bar” Wedding Shower for the daughter of our good friends. One of the libations being served was a beautiful batch of Sangria, loaded with fresh berries and fruits. I eat (in this case drink) with my eyes first and that Sangria called me, by name.
