Earth Day Dinner with The Wing Cafe
Almost 2 weeks ago Friday it was Earth Day and I had the chance to celebrate it for the 1st time as an ambassador with CulinaryLocal, I was sent to The Wing Cafe to get my 6 course dinner and drink pairing on. Guests enjoyed a great 6 course meal and Sierra Nevada beers thanks to Ryan Bing (The Head), southern picnic style. Yes, I said beers, for with every meal there was a different beer pairing and we had a nice Fire Pit right in the middle of the concourse just outside of the restaurant to serenade us. Ryan gave us a brief history of the beer selections, the…

Sparky Shuffle Cocktail with Four Roses Bourbon
Four Roses Bourbon asked me to come up with a drink to celebrate baseball season, and although I am late for opening day forgive me please:) Being from the “D” everybody who could went to the Detroit Tigers games. I heard about them every since I was a little girl and still to this day if there is a game on and the Tigers are playing no matter what team they are playing I am going to support them. Baseball was a game that I would watch the boys play on the playground and duck and sometimes run away when the ball would come my way. To see the players…

Frozen Strawberry Mint Julep | Kentucky Derby with Four Roses Bourbon
Four Roses Bourbon asked me to use my creative juices to come up with a drink in time for the Kentucky Derby. The Kentucky Derby has been one of those events that I have always wanted to attend. I was privileged to be born in Kentucky, but not raised there. My mom decided to have me near my grandmother (her mom), that lived in West Virginia and the nearest hospital was where, in Kentucky. So when her water broke and I decided to make my debut into the world, it was in the Spring month of May which is when the Kentucky Derby is held. My mommy and I stayed…

Veggie Fries, the Healthier Fries
Crispy, lightly salted, and light are part of my description for the perfect fries, but the one characteristic I left out was lots. Lots and lots of delicious and tasty plate of carbs. There have been times in which I would just cook up some fries and grab a plate and some bbq sauce and sit in front of the tv and eat. This week more than others have been crazy, so I did not have a lot of time to prepare something elaborate, but what came to mind was 1) we need something green and 2) something relatively quick to go with turkey burger. Veggie fries are some of…
