Winter to Spring Food Transitions

Winter to Spring Food Transitions

It’s been a rough winter, one of the coldest on record! Most of the country can’t wait to get through the month and say hello to warmer weather. As you look forward to the new season, it’s a great time to clean out that winter pantry and refresh the food selection in your refrigerator. February marks the last month for those winter-season fruit and vegetables like buttercup squash, sweet potatoes, chestnuts and even grapefruit. Give your winter produce one last hurrah before your dishes and cocktail recipes become inundated with honeydews, strawberries and pineapples. Try your hand at a sweet potato pie or homemade butternut squash soup. You’ll be glad you did. Below is a reduced-calorie Sweet Potato Pie recipe from FITNESS...Read More

Cinna-sugar white hot chocolate

Cinna-sugar white hot chocolate

I finally got the chance to experiment with the new Cinna-sugar vodka after fighting off the flu over the holidays. The first thing I mixed up was this rich and decadent white hot chocolate and let me say, it is divine! I can see myself drinking these fireside all winter long. The homemade hot chocolate mix takes a few extra minutes of effort but it's well worth it. The end result is spectacular! Happy winter Smirnoff friends. http://www.yoursouthernpeach.com/

What's Better than Skiing?

What's Better than Skiing?

Have you hit the slopes yet this winter? Depending on your location, this may be a quick drive or a long flight away. There’s no question that you deserve a winter getaway, but if you need some more persuading to willingly jump into the cold, think about the REAL reason people enjoy skiing – après-ski of course! Après-ski is the gathering of friends after a thrilling and chilly day on the mountain where friends, both old and new, join to defrost, dance, and of course, enjoy delicious cocktails and food. It’s the ultimate relaxing reward after a long day. For those that can’t break away from the day-to-day, you can still join in on the après-ski fun at home. Invite your friends over for a themed winter wonderland party and...Read More
