dinner or dessert: chai snickerdoodles I don't drink much caffeine but the exceptions to that are always a Starbucks Caramel Macchiato or black tea. Chai tea is a mixture of spices and black tea and is one of my favorite teas so when I saw these cookies on The Novice Chef, I couldn't wait to try them. I've actually never made homemade snickerdoodles and I'm not sure how that is even possible considering snickerdoodles are always perfectly chewy! Chai Snickerdoodles makes 19 large cookies 2 1/3 c. all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking soda 2 tsp cream of tartar 1/2 tsp salt 1 c. butter (2 sticks), softened 1 1/2 c. sugar 2 eggs powdered chai tea mix Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour powdered chai tea mix in a bowl.
Strawberry Basil Lemonade This Strawberry Basil Lemonade is coming to ya from the archives but I’ve given it a bit of a face lift. Strawberry Basil Lemonade was basically the first drink recipe I ever post on WGC and it’s been my most requested drink ever since. It’s a refreshing blend of homemade lemonade that gets fresh strawberries and basil pureed into the mixture. Depending on who’s enjoying this with me, I’ll add a glug or two of gin or just leave it “virgin” and enjoy it over some ice. Either way, it’s the best drink out there and you should probably be drinking this come Monday by the pool working on your tan. At least that’s what I’ll be doing poolside, in Tucson, with my besties. And while this doesn’t directly figure into book tour, I’ve also managed to schedule just about every single meal while I’m in Tucson so I can hit up my favorite places to stuff my face while I’m there. So in the meantime, grab some lemons, strawberries and a handful of fresh basil and let’s make some cocktails or mocktails!

Olé! Get the recipe. Great Southern Spirit: Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka | Thirsty South There is no drink more Southern than sweet tea. Not bourbon. Not Tennessee whiskey. Not the mint julep or the Sazerac or Southern Comfort. Sorry Coca-Cola, even in Atlanta you take a backseat to sweet tea. And sweet tea spans the South – it sits on tables from Tallahassee to Texas and everywhere in between. Jim Irvin and Scott Newitt at Firefly Distillery on Wadmalaw Island, South Carolina, struck Southern gold when they came up with their sweet tea vodka in 2008. Whether you drink it straight in a tall glass filled with ice, or in a “John Daly” (one of the best cocktail names ever in our opinion – basically an Arnold Palmer plus vodka!) The John Daly 1 part Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka 1 part lemonade (we like the Simply Lemonade brand) Pour over ice in a tall glass, garnish with a slice of lemon and/or a sprig of mint. While you’re here, be sure to check out our visit to Firefly Distillery on Wadmalaw Island.
The Ultimate Strawberry Lemonade One of the first times I ever realized that – HEY! I can cook for myself! – was when I first learned to make lemonade. I magically found the refrigerated lemon juice at our house and followed the directions to make my own lemonade. Sorry for the detour. Anyway, there was a summer there where I made my own lemonade every single day, making sure to rub it in my sister’s face that I knew how to and she didn’t. The key to this being the ultimate lemonade is that you blend it up with the lemon rind in there. And any time of day for that matter. (makes 2 pint-glass servings with ice) 3/4 cup sugar2 large lemons, microwaved for 30 seconds2 cups water1 cup of frozen strawberries, microwaved for 1 minute (you could use fresh, but I think the frozen works better here) In a blender squeeze the lemons and add the rest of the lemon, rind and all. **Note: I like to microwave the lemons to release more of the juices, and microwaving the strawberries does the same sort of thing.
50 Smoothies : Recipes and Cooking 1. Banana Blend 2 bananas, 1/2 cup each vanilla yogurt and milk, 2 teaspoons honey, a pinch of cinnamon and 1 cup ice. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. A steaming pot of chilli Being the only girl of four children, and working in an office where we are sorely outnumbered almost 10 to 1 by male colleagues; I think I am qualified to make some sweeping generalisations about what men like to eat: bold, robust flavours, protein-rich, nourishing, hearty fare. Best eaten in front of a large flat screen showing (here in NZ at any rate) rugby! This chilli is perfect game-watching food. Serve steaming hot, in bowls with either rice or warm tortillas, topped with fresh guacamole, a little fiery salsa and of course, a large glass of cold beer. Serves 6-8 -- 1.
