This Oklahoma weather has been so crazy, which is really by no surprise. We have freezing temps one day and then 70's the next, and throw in an earthquake to the mix. Oh what fun! Well, all of this hormonal weather is making me wish spring would just get here already. With March just around the corner, I am hopeful it will be here before we know it. So to celebrate the anticipation of spring and the upcoming weekend, I concocted this … [Read more...]

So I found this fun liquor that had a blend of wonderful fruits to entice the appetite for whatever comes next {wink!} What ever you have planned for Valentine's Day, you don't want to spend lots of time at your … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Super Bowl Drinks
It's that day again that we celebrate a week's worth of work and (hopefully) a few days of down time, catch up time, or whatever you want or need to do that you can't do Monday thru Friday. Because let's face it, I think most of us can agree, we live this GO GO GO life. So Fuzzy Friday it is again, but today, I'm sharing a drinky drink for a crowd. We all know one of the biggest food fests of the year will go down on Sunday, so I thought why … [Read more...]

Fuzzy Friday: Holiday Tipsy Spritzer
Being that this is the LAST Friday before Christmas, so I thought I'd share something refreshing that isn't just a cold weather cocktail, but it's a festive fresh drink for a holiday lunch or brunch. Before the internet, Southern Living was one of my magazines I subscribed to to get a bit of this and that for the home and food, and I loved them so much that I collected their cookbooks. I really should show you my collection sometime! Anyways, I … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Merry Christmint
Ok so here's the dealio. I think everyone is "BUSY" this time of year. Am I right? We have parties to go to, gifts to buy, cards that need to be addressed and mailed, baking, cooking, not to mention whatever else you have going on in your life. I pulled some thoughts for some festive drinks, part because I might serve this up to some friends coming over during the holidays, and part because I'm in MUCH need of a break and something with … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Blood Orange Blast
When you live OP, you prioritize everything you do. Sometimes things shift around and don't always go as planned. That's ok. We BREATHE and know being flexible is the best thing that we can be in life. This time of year, holiday parties and all the trimmings that go into it take front and center stage. Not to mention, when it rains it pours. In a good way! {I'll be sharing more on this in the coming weeks! wink!} So, what do we do when it … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Butterscotch Cocoa
I hope everyone had an wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, enjoying it with family, friends, resting, celebrating, whatever was best for you in your world. And today, I say let the festivities continue with a warm fuzzy cocktail. This was inspired by some yumminess I had at A Taste Of Western a few months ago. I HAD to recreate it, or at least come close to it! It's perfect after a long day of shopping in the brisk cool air, coming back home to … [Read more...]
Cocktails: Raspberry Spritzer Crush
Since today IS hump day, and if you're feeling kinda in a slump, AND if you're a cocktails kinda person, then this might get you out of your hump-day-slump. Truth being said, I'm not much of a drinker, even though a few drinks make me feel good especially in good company. But in all honesty, I really don't like the way my body reacts to them for the most part. I usually swell up and retain water or get headaches. No fun. And, I learned … [Read more...]
