Happy Monday everyone! I hope that you were all able to stay warm and dry during this wet and gloomy weekend that we had. I don't know about you, but whenever it is cold outside, I love snuggling up inside with a movie and warm food... so that's exactly what I did!

This past weekend when we had guests in town, I decided to combine  two of my favorite summertime treats, strawberries and lemonade, to create the Perfect Summer Cocktail.

When I imagine the perfect summer night, I picture sitting outside on the back porch with good friends, great food and fantastic drinks. So, I decided that the best way to pay homage to this summertime image in my head would be to start a Perfect Summertime Cocktail series on the blog.

Growing up, my parents loved to throw backyard parties with all of our friends. So, I naturally picked up this trait as well. One thing that I believe helps to make a backyard party even more fun is when you get everyone involved in the cooking process. A few years ago, my parents installed a wood fired oven in our backyard and we soon became the go-to home for summer because we would have pizza making parties!

One sweet treat that I can never get enough of is chocolate covered strawberries! So, I decided that for our Oscar's Viewing Party I would make this super easy dessert for my friends to enjoy with their glass (or two) of wine.

I have always said that there are two types of people in this world, people who love tequila and people who can’t stand it! Well, I happen to fall into the first category, and there is nothing that I love more than a great homemade margarita.

Healthy Chicken Taco Chili

I am someone who has always loved a good homemade soup! This recipe was first introduced to me about 14 years ago when our good family friends moved from California to Virginia. My mom hosted a huge going away party for them, and asked that each family submit their favorite recipe to compile into a cookbook for our friends who were moving. One family submitted this recipe and as I have gotten older, it has become a staple for my family during the winter months. I hope that you enjoy it!

Spaghetti Squash

I am a girl who absolutely loves pasta! But recently, I have found an incredible alternative that tastes just as good, if not better. Spaghetti squash has become my new obsession. It is so easy to make, and is actually healthy for you too. I kind of feel like I’m cheating the carb system because of how good it is.
