From the kitchen to the bath, I’ve created a collection of recipes and gift essentials that showcase just how amazing this fragrant flower can be.

These creations also make unforgettable gifts—perfect for birthdays, holidays, or just because. If you love simple elegance with a touch of botanical magic, these lavender-inspired treats are for you.

Easter is a celebration of fresh beginnings, joyful gatherings, and—of course—delicious food shared with the people we love. Whether you're hosting brunch, a midday feast, or a full day of grazing and gathering, this collection of Easter recipes has something for every moment. From crowd-pleasing appetizers and vibrant pitcher-style cocktails to classic mains like lamb and ham, perfectly paired sides, and a sweet lineup of desserts, cookies, and cupcakes, there's no shortage of springtime flavor. And to end the day on a cozy note, a warm cocktail brings the celebration to a perfect close.

Watermelon is a summer favorite for its juicy, sweet flesh that suits both sweet and savory dishes. Whether in a salad with jalapeños, on a pizza with feta cheese, in a refreshing cocktail—frozen or not—or enjoyed simply as a hydrating snack, its versatility and natural sweetness enhance any recipe, capturing the essence of summer in every bite.

Let’s pack up and head to the beach! This picnic cooler bag is bursting with some of my favorite beach treats. We'll kick things off with refreshing pitcher-style cocktails. The Coconut Water Mojito is perfect for those sizzling days under the sun, and the Long Island Iced Tea is definitely one for sharing.
Feeling a bit fancy? Try the Prawn and Smoked Salmon Ricotta on Chicory—super easy to prepare but oh-so-elegant. Keep it simple with Pesto Turkey and Cheese Wraps and Vegetable Turkey Pita Sandwich. Pair these with a crisp Kale Salad drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette for a fresh and tasty bite.
For the snack lovers, we've got Tzatziki and Roasted Garlic Hummus, perfect for dipping with Homemade Pita Chips. And don't forget dessert! Chocolate Chip Bars and Strawberry Rice Krispie Treats with White Chocolate Drizzle will satisfy any sweet tooth. Enjoy the sun, surf, and delicious food!

I adore a garden party! This menu showcases the beautiful flower blooms, herbs, and vegetables from the garden, beginning with a crisp and refreshing Cucumber Mint Mojito. If you enjoy a hint of spice, then the Cucumber Salsa and Spicy Cucumber Margarita are perfect choices! Rosemary is my most cherished herb; it enhances dishes like Rosemary Cashews, Marinated Mozzarella, and Skewered Monkfish. For simplicity, try the Yogurt Marinated Chicken. Prepare it the night before, then grill it when your guests arrive; however, it's just as delightful at room temperature. Serve it wrapped in Flatbreads and topped with Tzatziki. Finish on a high note with a stunning Blackberry Cake adorned with sweet White Chocolate Buttercream. Embrace the floral notes with Lavender Lemon Cookies and indulge in a full bouquet of flavor with a pitcher of Lavender Haze. Utilizing fresh chives from the garden always yields incredible butter, vinegar, and vinaigrette. Combine them with mayonnaise for a Creamy Chive Potato Salad.

Irish Cream…. the star of the show! A must to make Irish Cream Meringue with Chocolate Sauce, Baileys Fudge Chocolate or my favorite Nutty Irish Coffee. The Brown Bread and Soda Bread are both quick breads, and they are delicious. Cottage Pie, Corned Beef, and Bacon and Cabbage are all perfect for any St. Patrick’s Day celebration. Actually, the cottage pie is on weekly rotation in our home, So Good! This menu wouldn’t be complete without potatoes, the Savory Mince with Cheesy Potato Wedges ticks all the boxes and the Creamy Leek Tart is a delicious vegeterian option. This menu wouldn’t be me if I didn’t throw a bit of America in with these adorable Lucky Charm Cookies. They go great with an Irish Coffee as do my Sour Cream Crumb Cake. Loving this menu, Enjoy!

Love is in the air, and so are all my fabulous Valentine’s Day recipes. Perfect for celebrating with ones you love!

Let’s make it a thing……Forget the January blues and keep the cocktails flowing. I’m serving delicious cocktail with healthy and easy to make dishes.

Let’s get started and enjoy every Friday!

Pop The Cork!! Happy New Years! For us New Years is a time for cocktails and party food. This menu is full of delicious nibbles and cocktails that compliment these dishes. I added Sparkling Cosmopolitan Pitcher and Limoncello Prosecco to the menu. A elevated glass of bubbly is the perfect way to ring in the New Year. Also, homemade Limoncello is a great gift for your host.

A box full of cookies is always a great idea! This box is a perfect way to display your Christmas cookies or to give as a beautiful gift. I have filled this box with a few of my favorite holiday cookies and two cocktails that pair perfectly, ENJOY! Christmas Sugar Cookies with White Chocolate Topping, Gingerbread Cutouts, Dark Chocolate Cookies, Spiced Rum Balls, Linzer Cookies, Chocolate Chunk Cookies and Milk Punch, and Peppermint Chocolate Bark and Espresso Hot Chocolate.

Happy Fourth of July. Let’s get started with a savory or sweet starter and cocktail? Take your pick, go savory with Roasted Black Cherries Over Goats Cheese & Black Cherry Lime Cocktail or sweet with Grand Marnier Fruit Salad with Grand Marnier Cream & Grand Marnier Fruit Punch. But really why choose? Have both! Next up, the mains. I went with two American classics, Italian Sausage and Peppers and Garlic Butter Steamed Clams. For the sides, I kept it simple and classic; Creamy Chive Potato Salad, Classic Coleslaw, and Husk On Grilled Corn. Jalapeno Lime Butter and Chive Blossom Butter are both delicious for smearing on the corn. Two amazing desserts that will go down a treat are my Watermelon Coconut Popsicles and Sponge Cake with Vanilla Cream and Summer Berries. The sponge is a perfect ending for the Fourth with it’s red, white, and blue proudly displayed.

This menu is all about the dads, it’s highly inspired by my own father. Start off with Whiskey Dogs & Whiskey Amaretto Sour. Both of these recipes were inspired by family recipes and family parties, there was never a get together that didn’t include mini hot dogs. If a pitcher of cocktails are needed this Fathers Day, look no further Orange Whiskey Sour Pitcher is perfect. The balance of the fresh fruit juices along with the whiskey….you couln’t ask for better. Make more time for chats by using the slow cooker, Bourbon Pulled Pork topped with Jalapeno Coleslaw were meant to be devoured. The Potato, Egg, Pea Salad and Lemon Sauteed Green Beans are perfect sides for this menu. Adding Corn Muffins makes this a winning meal for my dad and smothering the muffins with Jalapeno Lime Butter or Honey Butter, makes it so much better, a tip warm the muffins before serving. Now, lets talk dessert. Hands down one of the best breads I have made lately Bourbon Chocolate Chip Banana Bread with Bourbon Glaze is delicious all on it’s own, but why not pair it with a Nutty Irish Coffee. Now this is a menu fit for a KING.

Let’s kick off summer! A Watermelon Pizza with olives, feta, and mint is the perfect way to start. Drizzling homemade balsamic glaze on top really elevates the flavors and pairing it with a pitcher full of cool and refreshing Watermelon Punch is ideal! Now, lets get grilling, making Homemade Beef Burgers, topped with Pickled Onions and all the fixings. For epic sides I chose Seasoned Potato Wedges with Fry Sauce, Chargrilled Corn, and Broccoli Salad. It wouldn’t be a patriotic weekend without a bit of red white a blue. My Fresh Watermelon Cake ticks all the boxes and looks absolutley stunning. This cake needs to be displayed proudly! For those who need to cool down my Strawberry Crunch Ice Cream Bars will defintely do the trick. Enjoy and Happy Memorial Day!
