On the Rocks: Corkscrew.

Decidedly un- fall, the Corkscrew is my personal shove off to summer.

Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 oz light rum
– 1/2 oz dry vermouth
– 1/2 oz peach liqueur
– Squeeze of lime juice

Combine all four ingredients in a cocktail shaker and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a twist of lime peel.

Herb Stand.

I’ve grown herbs before but always neglect to use them. And then I feel guilty. I love that the Herb Stand put herbs and scissors in the same place – making it way more probable that I’d use both. And that’s not even the end of the functionality story – the pots are also easy to separate or attach to one another.

The Daily Eat: Capellini Caprese.

I really do enjoy cooking and baking, but most weeknights after work I really just want something easy. Which is one reason I look forward to getting my quarterly issue of Kraft Foods magazine. It’s always busting at the seams with really good, fast recipes that are also healthy. This one for Capellini Caprese is in the latest issue and I can’t wait to try it out. YUM!

Amy Atlas Events.

I know, I know. You’ve probably seen post after post lately exalting the beautiful dessert buffets created by Amy Atlas Events. But I couldn’t help it – I just had to join the party. Seems that the monochromatic themes carried throughout are what really make it work.
