Margarita Flavored Sorbet Recipe-Featuring Tequila Zarpado
Margarita Flavored Sorbet Recipe-Featuring Tequila Zarpado

I partnered up with my amigos over at Tequila Zarpado to create a creative recipe using their lovely tequila in a recipe so I decided to make something cool and refreshing everyone could enjoy for their Labor Day festivities! 🍨 🍦 I love their tequila so much. It’s handcrafted from 100% mature #BlueAgave and you can really taste the difference!

So the best part about making ice cream at home is you get to make your perfect flavor and who doesn’t love margaritas?!

This lime sorbet is tangy, salty, creamy, and refreshing plus it’s super easy to make !

Lemon, Garlic & Herb Grilled Yellowtail Snapper Recipe Featuring Opinel

Filleting and grilling a whole fish can seem intimidating, but it’s actually quite simple to do! While testing this delicious Yellowtail Recipe I couldn’t find snapper fillets, but I could find whole snappers.

No problem—filleting a snapper (or any other similar fish) is easy if you follow these steps.

Just be sure to use your sharpest knife, whether it’s a fillet knife or a chef’s knife. I highly recommend the Opinel FORGED 1890 7" FILLET KNIFE for all of your fish recipes.

Perfect Peach Hotcakes Featuring Cristel
Perfect Peach Hotcakes Featuring Cristel

Since I intermittent fast on the weekdays..I really look forward to a pancake breakfast for dinner or as I like to say “BRINNER”.

Eggs or toast can be equally satisfying, but there’s something inherently special about pancakes. And these summery peach hotcakes are super flavorful, especially when you have good peaches from The Farmer’s Market.
