Southern Crown Peach Lemonade4/23/2021  Ahhhh it’s Crown Royal Peach Season my friends! I don’t know about trends in your neck of the woods, but here in Western New York, stores cannot keep Crown Royal Peach on the shelves!

But even I have to admit the hype is real when it comes to the Crown Royal Peach. It’s so yummy!!!! Perfect for all of those summer peach cocktails!!!

D.I.Y Easter Bunny 6 Pack4/11/2019  & the countdown to Easter begins!!!! Just a little over a week before the Easter Bunny makes his grand entrance and leaves us all of his yummy goodies!!!!!! Since I’m all about EVERYONE receiving Easter goodies regardless of age, I thought it would be fun to craft up a 6pk of beer for the men in the family!! I made my dad “Reinbeer” a few years back, so I thought I would attempt a cute little bunny rabbit this time! Enjoy!!!  SUPPLIES • 6pk Favorite Beer • White Spray Paint • Easter Grass • White Foam Paper • Pink Foam Paper • Googly Eyes • Super Glue • Pipe Cleaners • Bunny Tail (Dollar Tree) • Pink Pom  Take your 6pk of beer and paint your empty 6pk white.  Clip you bunny tail to the back of your 6pk of beer.  Take your pink and white pieces of foam paper and cut two large bunny ears. You will want to make the pink portion smaller than the white, so you can glue it to the white part of the ear.  Glue your pink and white pieces of foam paper together to create a bunny ear.  Next, take your pipe cleaners,glue and your pink pom and craft up a bunny nose with whiskers!  Take the the two beer bottles on the ends of the 6pk and glue a bunny ear to the back of each bottle.  Glue your bunny nose/whiskers onto the 6pk of beer. Glue two googly eyes onto the center beer.

Apple Cider Sangria10/3/2018  On Sunday my family and I attended the Busti Apple Festival in Busti, NY! A yearly tradition for us! While at the Busti Apple Festival, we picked up apples & cider! That evening I decided to whip up some of my famous Apple Cider Sangria & make an Apple Pie! Curious on how to make that cider? Of course you are! That’s why you’re here. Keep on scrolling to find out how you can make a pitcher of this yumminess in your very own home :)  INGREDIENTS• 1.5 Liter Bottlr Moscato • 4 Mini Bottles Carmel Vodka • 2 Red Apples • 1 Green Apple • Handful of Grapes • Half Lemon • Apple Cider  Pour the bottle of Moscato into a large pitcher. This is a fabulous recipe to use that random bottle laying around you received for a gift since quality does not matter!  Squeeze that half Lemon into the pitcher. Then toss the squeezed lemon into the pitcher.  Chop up your green & red apples. Then toss your apples & grapes into the pitcher.  Now mix in your caramel vodka and top off with cider. The caramel vodka has a very strong caramel taste. I suggest using 4 since you do want to taste the cider! Too much vodka and this will turn into Carmel sangria ;-)  After your Apple Cider Sangria is all mixed together, toss it into the refrigerator for an hour or so. You want the fruit flavors to soak a bit before serving.  Serve & Enjoy!

Wine Cork Dot Paint Pumpkins9/13/2018  Any mamas out there need an excuse to go out and buy a bottle or two of wine?! I may just have you covered! Wine Cork Dot Paint Pumpkins! That’s right, you drink the contents of that wine bottle while your child dots away with the corks. It’s a win win activity since Mama is occupied and so is the kiddo! Cheers & happy dotting!  SUPPLIES• White Paper Plates • Green Pipe Cleaners • Hole Punch • Orange Paint • Wine Corks  Before you let your child dot away, take your hole punch and punch a hole at the top of the white paper plate. This is where you will string your pipe cleaner to make a stem later.  Let your child dot away using the orange paint & the wine cork!  Once your white paper Plate is covered in paint dots, take 2-3 pipe cleaners and wrap them around your finger to make a spiral.  Take your pipe cleaner spiral and simply thread it into the hole you punched in your white paper plate. Twist the stem in place. And just like that, you now have a Paper Plate Pumpkin!
