Maple syrup vinaigretteThis is my favourite vinaigrette or salad dressing. A sweet (but not too sweet), flavourful dressing for your favourite green salad. I usually add julienned carrots, julienned zucchini, sliced green onions, mesclun mix (various mixed greens), green olives with pimiento, cherry tomatoes, sliced strawberries. Voilà! |

It makes a great… |

"Dirty Arnold Palmer" CocktailI just love good ol' lemonade and Southern sweet iced tea, so combining the two (1/2 lemonade & 1/2 iced tea to make one drink) was a brilliant idea of Arnold Palmer. However, this one is "kicked-up a notch"....there's still lemonade in it, but in place of the regular sweet iced tea, I'm using Sweet Tea Vodka. Still refreshing &… |

"Blue Sky" SnowCone' TiniFor my birthday, my mom & her fiance took me to an Italian restaurant for dinner. While there, she ordered a martini called a "Snow Cone-Tini." It was the cutest thing, so I just had to come home and create some of my own. This is one of many that I've made so far. |
