I was looking through my calendar the other day {scheduling Girl Scout cookie booths} and couldn’t believe how close we are to March! Of course, with March, comes St. Patrick’s Day and all the green beer, Guinness {cupcakes} and Irish food your heart could desire. One of our favorite meals to enjoy for St. Patrick’s Day is one pot Irish stew.

Easter is coming up and for us that means carrot cake. I am not sure how carrot cake became such a staple in our Easter celebrations but I am certainly not complaining. You just can’t beat the combination of the spiced cake and cream cheese frosting!

Valentine’s Day is coming up so fast. It is shortly after my birthday (exactly one week) so sometimes we don’t do much because we’ve already spent our babysitter time/money on that celebration. So, instead of going out, we usually spend the night at home with a home cooked meal. Of course, you can’t have a great celebration without delicious Valentine’s Day desserts. My favorites usually involve some of kind of red velvet but with these amazing choices, I may have to rethink my usual dessert option for Valentine’s Day.
I’m about to blow your mind with literally the BEST thing you might ever make and it takes less than five minutes. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it isn’t!
Our annual holiday party was a few weeks ago and I spent the weeks between Thanksgiving and the party getting everything prepared. The menu is of course a huge part of the party and that includes what types of drinks are served. In addition to our standard drinks, I always like to serve a cocktail that guests can help themselves to throughout the party. This year, that cocktail was a orange pomegranate sparkling punch.
