Sip some wine (or tequila) with your girlfriends in the sailing capital of the world, and the perfect destination for your next girls weekend: Newport, Rhode Island. In the heart of Rhode Island's “classic coast” you can choose your own adventure. If you’ve never been to Newport, it’s time to go!
Chowder clams, also known as Quahogs, are a serious staple in New England cuisine. The East has beautiful colors in the fall, and wonderful foodallyear long. These giant clams can be found in countless dishes, but an extremely popular way to prepare them in Rhode Island is in these “stuffies”.
Grab your cowgirl boots, hat, and best-fitting jeans. If you and your girls are looking to have a blast exploring a city on your girls weekend, look no further than the energetic streets of Nashville, Tennessee!
My all-time favorite city to visit in the U.S: Music City. A trip to Nashville is not complete without trying some of their famous hot chicken (wearing cowgirl boots of course). Although true Nashville hot chicken is breaded and fried, we found this awesome, easy recipe.
I pride myself on being a quick thinker. A “quick to-react-or”. A motivator. An always-in-motion gal. So when the coronavirus crippled us, I looked for ways to let the light shine in. Amongst the many strategic efforts I made during this pandemic, the one that will last a very long time is our Thursday Zoom happy hour.
Using different fresh fish and creative toppings is an easy way to vary the simple recipe. What’s not to love about these tacos, packed with great taste and nutrition! Enjoy these tacos with your best girlfriends and a California Collins cocktail.
Pete and I were married at Chimney Rock Winery in Napa, and the next day we were on our honeymoon traveling down Pacific Coast Highway. Monterey was our first stop. Though I was there as a newlywed, I highly recommend it as a magical way to relax and reset with your girlfriends.
Once September rolls around and we harvest the herbs from those boxes, I start my next labor of love. I put the rosemary in a large mason jar and combine it with olive oil and garlic to make an incredible fusion of flavor perfect for cooking or dipping. I’ll also use the rosemary and combine it with lavender along with lemon zest, jojoba oil and sugar for a shower scrub.
Hee haw, hee haw, hee haw...this cocktail is a kicker! The key to this one is the sweet taste of huckleberry vodka. YUM! Huckleberries are native to Montana, grow in its western part, and are a favorite of both natives and bears! Whether you’re gearing up for your next girls weekend at a Montana dude ranch, or reminiscing about your last trip there, this fun drink brings the taste of Montana home.
Using herbs in cocktails is extremely underrated--they add so much depth to the flavor. A perfect pairing is gin and thyme. The thyme adds a woodsy scent and flavor, making this cocktail perfectly refreshing for the summer months.
When the craziness of COVID-19 crisis started, it was necessary to find entertainment within our homes. The new normal for so many of us was to wake up and exercise early in the morning, clean out closets and drawers during the day, sit down for a family dinner, then gather around the TV to start a new Netflix series at night.
Who craves sweets? Who doesn’t need the calories? That’s right, you, me and all our girlfriends! These cookies are so amazing, you’d never believe how healthy they are. Gluten-free, sugar-free, and vegan, they’re an awesome treat that you don’t need to feel guilty about enjoying.
