As you know… I feel that a party, just isn’t a party, without a good drink or two, and in this case three! First up is my “Pear and Vanilla Buzz,” with only four ingredients it is a breeze to make. Lime juice and aromatic bitters balance this blend of pear nectar and vanilla flavored vodka. Second in line is “Snowbird Sangria.” Now let’s look at some delish party nibbles. Most of us don’t think of strawberries when we think of salsa, but that’s what you will find in my Strawberry Salsa Fresca. Fresh cilantro and flat leaf parsley contrast deliciously with sweet strawberries, while jalapeno pepper adds just enough heat to this novel take on classic salsa. My Apple and Honey Flatbread Pizza is sweet and savory with apple slices resting atop melted cheddar and mozzarella cheese and drizzled with honey. My Dill Pickle and Radish Spread is a crowd pleaser. Creamy and rich with crunchy pickles, and radishes, this spread will disappear quickly! I hope you enjoy these recipes.  Have fun in your kitchen cooking (and making drinks!) for the people you love, and remember...

it doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to taste good!
