When we went to Peru in November of 2016 we fell in love with Pisco. Pisco sours to be specific, but I wanted to find a way to make another drink other than Pisco sours, and that’s where this Summer in Peru cocktail comes in! If you haven’t heard of Pisco before, it’s a fortified wine that is 40% alcohol, made in Peru or Chile. There’s a little debate between the two countries of who founded Pisco first. Peru says…
Let’s’ talk about wine. Today happens to be National Drink Wine Day, so it is a perfect opportunity to discuss my affair with wine. If you have been reading my blog for a while now, you probably know I love craft beer and might be wondering why I am talking about wine and not beer right now.

The first beer I will share is a Russell Brewing Beer, made in British Columbia, called IP’eh! If you like the hoppy, bitter beers, then this is for you! I am not typically an IPA…
Hi! I love to cook and I am so happy when I can cook and entertain my family and friends. For my birthday this year I told my husband that I wanted to go all out and make a huge dinner for everyone – and that’s what we did! Homemade Italian dinner of ravioli, salad and garlic toast, with antipasto cheese and meat board to start and homemade tiramisu to finish it all off. Great company of family and friends and…
