Aperol Spritz

March 17, 2015 by Chantal Leave a Comment

Aperol Spritz

Aperol’s website dedicates its own page to this classic cocktail recipe, and with a flashy 3-2-1 set of instructions, this is as easy to make as it is to drink.  They’ve even got a video on how to make the cocktail, with some wickedly groovy music in the background.  A cousin to Campari, Aperol has […]

Skillet Cherry Cobbler

I’ve hardly done any cooking or baking this year.  Having recently returned from a fabulous 11 day cruise in the east Caribbean, most of the first week of January was spent eating holiday leftovers and cleaning out the fridge and pantry.  By the time we got back, it was already the end of January, and […]

Vermouth Roasted Peaches

Sometimes, simple really is best.  This summer, in an attempt to shed a few pounds, I picked up Mireille Guiliano’s French Women Don’t Get Fat and French Women For All Seasons at my local used book store.  I’ve long given up on picking up a book hoping to find the miracle weight loss cure, and […]
