Maple Old Fashioned Mocktail Recipe Featuring Kentucky 74 From Spiritless

Yesterday Rodge and I played cards and snacked and made the loveliest fall mocktail with Kentucky 74 from Spiritless. . Yes-a fall drink!! I am so done with summer! Complete and utterly done. 🤷🏻‍♀️

They sent me their Kentucky 74- a beautifully distilled non-alcoholic spirit crafted to complement bourbon cocktails. It delivers a high-quality, smooth finish, underpinned by familiar notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak. ( definitely not like other non-alcoholic spirits-not artificial.. it’s the real thing with a proprietary distillation process)

Meaningful Cups Of Coffee With Grace Farms

A peaceful mid afternoon pick-me-up with the most delicious meaningful cup of coffee from Grace Farm Foods . ☕️ 📚 🐾 The world feels so heavy right now -so so very heavy so I am just keeping myself calm and centered and finding peaceful moments where I can sinking into my daily rituals that make me feel like I have some control indoors here within my walls. Giving myself the gift of better coffee experiences- giving myself permission to take long coffee breaks where I can just read and snuggle my pups and breathe. Thirty minutes just for me to refuel is everything !!

French Wine Club by somMailier - The Best Wine Club For Food Pairings

I definitely wouldn’t tout myself as a wine expert, but I’m quite familiar with different types of wines and brands. And French wines are just the best in the world. I do know that!

I first introduced you to the somMailier Wine Club back in February (read all about it here) and I am so excited to share a promo code with you today (grab the code at the end of the post) and tell you about their white wines and their rosè this time.

I really enjoy being apart of a wine club because it’s such a great way to taste new wines and expand your knowledge. If you consider yourself a bit of a sommelier and would like to discover some new blends — your favorite red seems a bit too sweet nowadays — or maybe you’re just looking for a no-hassle way to up your reserves, a wine club may be for you. There are so many things to consider especially as we approach the holiday entertaining season! It’s truly my favorite time of year but hosting a dinner party is difficult enough. Between entertaining guests and preparing food, picking a wine pairing can be an intimidating process.
