Margarita Recipe Round-Up

Today’s holiday might be one of my biggest faves yet…Happy National Tequila Day!!!

In honor of this special day {and one of my favorite cocktails ever} I thought I’d share a few unique margarita recipes that I ran across on Pinterest…because I don’t know about you, but when I think of tequila I can’t help but think of margaritas.

Lots and lots of margaritas 🙂

Summer Sangria Recipe

In my opinion one of the best things about summer is all of the fruity cocktails.

I love margaritas, strawberry daiquiris and of course a good sangria!

My BFF makes one of the best sangria recipes I’ve ever had, so today {with her permission} I thought I’d share it with you…

Smoked Salmon Appetizer Bites

Every year when summer finally rolls around I really get into seafood. Don’t get me wrong…I love seafood all year long, but there’s something about warm weather that enhances my desire to eat more of it.

In an effort to come up with new seafood recipes, I just so happened to strike up a conversation with the butcher at the grocery store one day about what to make with smoked salmon. {For the record when you are in sales you tend to be able to have a conversation about anything with anyone.} He suggested pairing it with some gouda cheese, then I decided to get creative and add a few touches of my own.

Sweet Potato Nachos Recipe

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a great Easter weekend!

My weekend was perfect thanks to a certain Big Ten team {Wisconsin} beating Kentucky…

WI KY

Not because I filled out a bracket this year, or because I’m a Wisconsin fan…but because Wisconsin’s win helped my team remain the last team to hold a perfect season record…

IU 76

The Indiana Hoosier’s 1976 undefeated team.

And we {we meaning IU that is} also signed a much needed recruit. It was a great weekend for basketball…and the fun continues tonight with the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship game.

In honor of the game {and all the basketball excitement} today I’m sharing an easy recipe with you. Something a little sweet, but salty…Sweet Potato Nachos!

Strawberry Sweetheart Cocktail

Good Morning!

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner {8 days away to be exact}.

This year I’ve decided to enjoy the holiday by drinking a few skinny cocktails and skipping the chocolate…oh who am I kidding I’ll probably still have both 🙂

In today’s recipe segment Danielle is sharing an easy Valentine’s Day inspired cocktail for you to enjoy with your sweetheart, friends or just drink by yourself…no judgement here!

A Super Bowl Story & Recipe

Hello!

Super Bowl weekend has held a special place in my heart since the year 2012. For those of you that may not remember, Indianapolis hosted the Super Bowl that year. I didn’t actually go to the game {unfortunately, I’m not made of money…yet :)}, but I spent Super Bowl weekend attending the festivities in Indianapolis.

To date this is definitely one of the coolest experiences I have ever had…and I’m not even a big NFL fan.

So in honor of Super Bowl weekend, I thought it would be fitting to share a little bit of my experience with you…oh and of course I also have a yummy, skinny buffalo chicken dip recipe I’ll share in this post too!
