  • Steam Up Some Rhode Island-Style Clam Stuffies

    Chowder clams, also known as Quahogs, are a serious staple in New England cuisine. The East has beautiful colors in the fall, and wonderful food all year 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”.
  • My Girlfriendships Getaway to Music City

    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!
  • Fire Up This Nashville Style Shredded Hot Chicken

    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.
  • Grill Some California-Style Fish Tacos

    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.
  • Girlfriends Getaway to Gorgeous Monterey

    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.
  • Mix Up This Montana Huckleberry Mule

    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.
  • Preparing for the Thyme of Your Life Cocktail

    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.
  • Another Show to Make Us All Wiser

    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.
  • Bake Up Montana Mountain Cookies

    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.
  • The Love You Carry Inside Will Last a Lifetime

    The love you carry inside will last a lifetime--if you nurture it. Whether your own love shows up through a skill, a hobby, a relationship, a pet...you can only keep it alive by intentionally tending to it. Caring. Sharing. Growing. Laughing. Cooking. Conversing….
  • Getaway to The Real-Life Dirty Dancing Resort Town

    You won’t be sorry either when you and your Dirty-Dancing-loving friends take your next getaway to Lake Lure in NC, and attempt your version of the swan lift in the very same spot that Johnny and Baby did! Located just 26 miles from Asheville in the Hickory Nut Gorge, Lake Lure is the perfect spot for a relaxing weekend. 
  • Dish Up Patrick Swayze's Penne with Chicken
