Posted on May 8, 2022 by HelenFern

We had several days of great weather – one day over 70 degrees!! I got those veggies in the ground and planted some carrots and radishes too. I’m so ready for warm weather and hanging out on the deck.

With that warmer weather comes the promise of summer to come. And this is a great place to come to plan your menus on any season. It’s the place to find …

Gin and Tonic Mocktail

Posted on May 7, 2022 by HelenFern

As the weather begins to warm up, I love to sit on my deck with a cold drink. One of my favorites has always been gin and tonic. Just one problem now, we rarely drink alcohol anymore. We drink a mocktail.

So I set out to try to create those flavors without the booze.

I knew that gin was primarily juniper berries, but there is something else. The traditional gin is distilled with juniper berries (lots of juniper berries),  lemon peel, coriander seed and angelica root. But my quest was how to create that flavor in a base.

Give it a try. Tell me what you think! Continue reading →
