Summer Cocktail Drinks: Sangria

White Peach Sangria

White Sangria with Mango, Pineapple and Basil

Grab your fresh herbs from the garden and make this tropical sangria.

Blackberry Sangria

Blackberries and wine go together!

Frosé is one of the easiest sure to please libations.

Get out the blender and make the easiest frose.

Classic Summer Cocktail Drinks

Strawberry Martini

Is there anything more classic than a summer martini made with strawberry simple syrup.

Gin Basil Smash

Easy and not too girly….pleasing for anyone.

Best Citrus Margarita

Taking notes on a classic from a restaurant known for their citrus margarita, this is classic and perfectly balanced. Try with this lime margarita salt.

Blueberry Old Fashioned

We are old fashioned fans and this summer spin in divine.

Blackberry Mint Julep

We make blackberry everything in my house, so why not a cocktail?

Simple Syrups

You can’t make cocktails without simple syrup. Make your simple syrup sugar free using Swerve. It’s just as good. I do it all the time.

This summer the herbs on my deck (all in pots) are doing amazing and I just happen to have fresh parsley💚👩🏻‍🍳 and fresh oregano, perfect for chimichurri sauce, a non-cooked preparation of herbs, olive oil and vinegar all chopped up. It originated in Argentina for grilled meats, although there is a similar sauce in Sicily used for seafood. Either way, it’s delicious and makes protein jump. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/how-to-make-chimichurri-sauce-how-to-grill-skirt-steak/ _____________________________________ #chimichurri #grilledsteak #skirtsteak #spinachitger #healthyrecipe #lowcarbdinner #easydinner #tastingtable #steakrecipe #grillout #blogfoodeats #huffposttaste #nashvillefoodblogger #grillideas #grillingseason #grilling #carnivore #carnivoreketo Chimichurri * 1 cup flat Italian parsley, finely chopped (about 2 handfuls) * Fresh oregano (fi you have it). * 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, finely chopped (optional) just replace with parsley * 1/2-3/4 cup olive oil * 1 tablespoon quality red or white wine vinegar** * 3 garlic cloves, finely diced * 1/4 teaspoon red chili pepper * Juice of 1 lemon * Course sea salt, freshly ground pepper

Scallops with wine, butter and lemon enhanced with

Scallops with wine, butter and lemon enhanced with red chili flakes and fresh parsley made one of the best bites of the year. The key to scallops is taking off the chill, heating the pan hot before adding oil and butter. Patience as they caramelize in the pan. Once browned, I squeezed a half of a lemon, added a splash of white wine, and garnished with fresh parsley and chili flakes. Whole Foods has a Prime deal of 30 % off through June 30 and I’m putting these back on the menu tomorrow. _____________________________________ #scallops #seafood #seafoodlovers #ketodinner #tastingtable #butter #easydinner #spinachtiger #blogfoodeats #huffposttaste #buzzfeedfood #wholefoods #primedeal #nashvillefoodblogger #foodblogger #foodphoto #seafoodofinstagram

Here is an EASY side dish that takes ten minutes to make. I call it Camille’s Asparagus. 👩🏻‍🍳This brilliant 16 year old works with me in the bakery and shared her recipe. I’ve made it three times already. 😋I’m in shock at how adept this homeschooler is with cooking and baking. Mom’s let your kids into the kitchen. By the time they are 12, they are cooking for YOU. Most kids LOVE being in the kitchen. I remember when the whole neighborhood was here begging to bake with me as little as age 3, boys and girls. Cooking has no gender. That is a myth. The people I meet that hate cooking usually were never allowed in the kitchen because either mom (or dad) only thought it was their territory and couldn’t deal with the mess. Cooking is chemistry, science, art, craft and skill. It also requires research. It’s educational. It teaches perseverance. Last week I couldn’t get a cookie recipe right and Ryder said, “But you know how to do everything.” I said, “no I don’t, I just keep going until I get it right and then it just looks like I know how to do everything.” The twins have watched that. They know it’s okay to fail and have to throw something out. Then we analyze and start over. There is so much more to the STORY OF FOOD and the Passion of cooking. It’s a task in the house that kids can get their hands on that’s not electronic and has a reward waiting. The giant benefit is ENGAGEMENT. While you’re in the kitchen you get to talk, a rarity in the way we all do life. I know many of you already do this or did this during the lock downs. I’d love to hear about it. ___________________________________ #asparagus #tomatoes #pecorino #sidedish #eatmoreveggies #Whole30side #foodblogeats #tastingtable #spinachtiger #foodiesofinstagram #foodphotos #sheetpan #sheetpanveggies #feedfeed #buzzfeedfod #asparagusrecipe #vegetarianfood

Peach season brings peach muffins. Made with Almon

Peach season brings peach muffins. Made with Almond flour and Swerve, these are naturally keto friendly at 3 net carbs. Twelve of these went to a customer yesterday and then her kitchen had caught on fire. Very sad when I hear things like this. She had ordered $180 of cakes all burned along with her kitchen, bathroom and most sad, her little dog. My heart has broken for her and I will indeed replace all those cakes for her once the insurance company settles them into temporary housing. Friends, check your stove before you leave. I’m not exactly sure how it started, but it still is a call to be aware. I remember one time a lady flagged me down while I was driving in the neighborhood. She had walked her dogs a long way and remembered she left something on the stove. I took her and her dogs back to her house. Things in life can change rapidly (don’t we all know it). Life is not always peaches 🍑and cream. Baking for others and meeting new friends that start as customers is one of the benefits of what I do. I hope to never take these friendships for granted. ❤️ ___________________________________ #peachtruck #peachmuffins #spinachtiger #ketomuffins #paleomuffins #bakefeed #foodblogeats #tastingtable #swerve #sugarfreemuffins #buzzfeedfood #ketoeats #foodiesofinstragram #foodphotos #almondflourrecipe #glutenfree #feedfeed.glutenfree

Intercessor: a person who intervenes on behalf of

Intercessor: a person who intervenes on behalf of another, especially by prayer. The most powerful people on earth are the intercessors. 🙏🏻This is how I use my voice and I use it every day to fight for peace, unity, justice, love, and mostly when I don’t know how or what to pray because life seems so dark, I give it to Jesus. This is the best weapon against the darkness we are experiencing now. “For we do not fight against flesh and blood, but powers and principalities.” Prayer brings love, unity, justice and healing. Protests without prayer 🙏🏻go nowhere. Bathe your protest in prayer to see a supernatural change. This is week 11 of this daily prayer call. 🙏🏻It started with a plea to God regarding Covid 19; it has evolved as the Holy Spirit leads. Be assured, we pray to a living God, who promises comfort to those who mourn, who knows each person in the womb, who values the very life of EVERYONE, whom he created. Truly, God is our only hope and we cannot navigate this messy world without him. If the Holy Spirit calls you to pray, 🙏🏻please join me. You can come and listen or your can use your voice. Prayer is not of this world. It’s super natural because we do not pray to air. We pray to a living God. Where is God in this? Ask him. If you feel oppressed and depressed, that is the scheme of the enemy. The word says, the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. If you feel life if being taken away, destroyed, this is not God. This is the enemy dividing and conquering. Pray 🙏🏻with us for one week. See what happens. #pray #prayer ##prayercall
