Farmers' Market Bloody Marys

It's no secret that I love everything about Farmer's Markets.

They're fresh, colorful, fun and I look forward to our local market every week.

What better way to celebrate the beautiful bounty you find
than creating a "farm to cup" Bloody Mary?

A quick farm stand stop 

is all it takes to make an amazingly memorable cocktail...

Almost any and every veggie will work, 

the more vibrant the better...

Simply spear them up and stick them into any and every 

Powell & Mahoney Bloody Mary Mix

An impressive beverage that is as delicious as it is pretty...

I think everyone should 

Eat, Drink and Be Mary...

(Print your own tags here.)

Pair the tags with Powell & Mahoney and you've got the perfect gift.

Their cocktail mixes are handcrafted in small steam kettles in Vermont.  

They take great pride in using only natural ingredients and are all gluten free. 

They believe that your favorite spirit deserves a high-quality mixer and so do you!

 The classic Bloody Mary has a pure tomato flavor, 

with barrel-aged Worcestershire sauce, and all natural spices 

The Chipotle Bloody Mary mix is bold and smokey and

the Sriracha contains cayenne and jalapeno peppers 

that really awaken the senses with their spice.

 I want to make sure you have 

A Bloody Good Halloween too...

Cheers!

I've got your Back...to school - 1st day gifts

We all have them.

The friends that always have your back.

As a new school year approaches, 

I've started to think about the people I count on 

to help to navigate the crazy menagerie of teenagers, carpools, missing forms, 

random questions and basic hand holding.

Some would say, 

"It takes a village"...

It is nice to know there are people behind you and visa versa, 

so I decided to put together a few 1st day gifts...

Print your Back to School Tags here.

I got my back massagers/scrubbers at Michael's 

but they are available at most drug stores.

TipToe through the Mother's Day tulips

Beautiful flowers and a day of pampering 

are the epitome of Mother's Day gift giving...

It is a day that all moms should have the opportunity to, 

Tip Toe through the Tulips!

For an easy, festive treat for your favorite mom, 

grab some gorgeous tulips and your favorite polish.

Package them together and print out the tag here.

Chestnuts for Roasting on a Open Fire

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Christmas carols are already filling the air 

and finding that perfect gift is on everyone's mind.

I've to combine the two for a festive present 

straight from Nat King Cole's classic song.

Simple to put together and a fun, delicious activity -

a gift doesn't get better than that.

Packaged in a small box and topped with

some jumbo matches for that open fire -

sure to strike up a conversation

Roasting chestnuts is easier than you might think.

Start with rich, dark chestnuts,

 available at most grocery stores in the produce section.

(usually from late October to December)

Slice slightly around the middle and roast over an open fire or in the oven.

While still warm, carefully remove the shells,

then chop to use in recipes or sprinkle with sea salt and enjoy right away.

Show up with this gift and everyone will go nuts!
