Spicy Bloody Mary Mix

This past week the east coast, and our area in Washington DC, experienced a significant snow storm unlike anything we had seen in recent years. We were hit with over 2 feet of snow, and it caused the federal government to close for 2.5 days. When we realized we were stuck in the house with nowhere to go, we decided to experiment with a few recipes—this bloody mary mix is one of them.

We used the amazing buffalo sauce from Tessemae’s, a local Maryland company, to put this mix together. It has amazing flavor with or without the vodka. Make it for your next Sunday brunch, and savor the goodness.

Strawberry-Mango Mint Tea

Summer is officially here, and for Memorial Day I made a subtly sweet iced tea that was just as beautiful as it was refreshing! This super simple Strawberry-Mango Mint Tea will have you wow’ing your friends and family at the next summer barbecue or pool party. You can make it the morning of for a light and bright beverage, or you can make it the day before for a sweeter, more developed fruity flavor.
