It’s just the beginning of summer and I am already being a rebel and refuse to engage with it entirely!
First dinner party in over a year and guess what I prepared!!!?
Yep!
A simple flavorful Minestrone with crusty bread and a green salad with loads of wine because….HELL-O…dinner parties are back!!
I so have missed entertaining!

With the weather warming up, we’re coming into iced coffee season!
Are you an iced coffee or cold brew lover?! Or are you like me and iced lattes are more your thing? If I had my choice and an unlimited amount of funds, I’d be rolling through the Starbucks drive-through every morning for an iced vanilla latte.
An iced latte is simply milk mixed into espresso with ice in the glass. Yes! It’s that simple!

Every year Woodfood Reserve, one of the oldest and smallest bourbon distilleries in Kentucky, releases a commemorative bottle, featuring exquisite artwork to honor the Kentucky Derby, and this year’s might be my veryyyy favorite! ( not sponsored all though they would be a dream client to work with)
I would say that May should officially be named “Taco Month,” and I thought it would be fitting to kick off Cinco de Mayo soon approaching with a delicious homemade salsa recipe!
This one is from my Tia Mary! And it’s soooo good and sooooo easy!

This is the ultimate make at home Monte Cristo Sandwich – with ham and cheese in a sandwich that is cooked French toast style. If desired, serve with powdered sugar and raspberry jam. It’s a sweet and savory combo that will convert even a skeptic! It’s traditionally made with turkey too but I am not a fan of turkey so I leave that out!

Such a lovely small and beautifully pared back restaurant! The distinctive attitude towards food and interiors is at the heart of La Tertulia and make each visit exciting, intimate and unforgettable. The kind of place you could linger over a glass of sangria or a pitcher of margaritas and dinner for hours and hours…
Anyone who has read this blog a few times knows I’ve had a very long love affair with Santa Fe and New Mexican cuisine. And I am already having a massive love affair with Tulsa based La Tertulia. I love any and all New Mexican cuisine! There is nothing like Northern New Mexican food for spicy, earthy comfort food. I simply can’t get enough of it!
As you may know Tulsa’s restaurants are open for indoor dining and outdoor dining and people are getting vaccinated - but if you’re sticking with takeout still like me- then add La Tertulia to your list! Going out to eat is what you do and well, this is rough. I get teary eyed reading about restaurants and thinking back to my fond memories of eating delicious dinners with friends but I am happy I can still support my local faves and take a break from cooking! I really am not sure when I will be ready for indoor dining again. (Just being honest here)

Scenes from this Saint Patrick’s Day ... all while daydreaming of Ireland's emerald fields, craggy cliffs, oceanside vistas, winding tree-lined roads, crumbling ancient castles, and white sheep! ( no, I have never been but I watch enough movies and badly badly want to visit one day!)
Here is my first #IrishSodaBread smothered in @kerrygoldusa Irish Butter and I am pretty sure this is what dreams are made of!
I sure do miss and love Texas BBQ! What I would give for a pulled pork sandwich from Stubbs! HA! Oh gosh-what I would give to just see a concert again. Le Sigh. Deep deep sigh.
Esposito sent me their Hand Tied Pork Bracciole so I went ahead and satisfied my craving.

When Esposito sends you authentic NY sausages and the weather has decided to go from 71 degrees to winter again…you make a big batch of hearty delicious Black Bean + Sausage Soup!
This recipe is without a doubt my most favorite soup recipes because it’s so easy and so flavorful. And it was so fun dressing up with Esposito’s products too.
One of my favorite things about this recipe is the leftovers!
The star product today is definitely the sausage. And the Sweet Peppers And Onion Sauce they make and ship.

I initially discovered Teri when I did a round of Whole30 last summer. I got so tired of eating eggs, bacon, kale and sweet potatoes, so had to go down a few rabbit holes online for food inspiration. And Teri Turner is really just a favorite!!! I keep returning to her delightful recipes even when I am not doing a Whole30 because I have just grown to love her recipes!
