Mull Over the Holidays with the Perfect Drink – Mulled Sweet Wine with Cognac

November 21, 2016 by Alisha 4 Comments

I don’t know about you but this time of year always seems to creep up so dang quick!  A few days ago it was almost 80 degrees in Nashville and now its in the lower 50s.  Mother Nature can’t seem to get her life together and let folks deal with temperature changes gradually.  She likes to just toy with our emotions and drop the temp 30 degrees overnight.

The good part of this sudden arctic blast of air is that now I can actually get myself into the holiday season.  The bad part is that even the cold weather isn’t getting rid of my Grinch mood.  If it wasn’t for being a parent I would probably just throw a Christmas wreath on the front door and call it a day.  I’m determined to wait until Thanksgiving before we put the tree up and I’ve got the perfect drink to get me in the mood.

Last year I shared a mulled wine recipe and it was a big hit.  This year we are kicking it up a notch by adding cognac.  If you’re planning to host parties this year, this drink will be sure to get everyone in the holiday spirit!  And the best part about making this drink is that you don’t need any fancy ingredients that can only be found at that one store 20 miles away and cost a small fortune.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups good red wine
  • 1/2 cup cognac
  • 1/4 rosemary honey
  • 2 1/2 cups honey crisp apple cider
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • orange slices
  •  6 whole cloves

When your turkey nail art looks like poo…LITERALLY #NaBloPoMo

November 10, 2015 by Alisha 14 Comments

It’s that time of year when I attempt my pathetic hand at nail art. And each year they get sadder lol.  But what stresses me out more is the fact that I’m not crafty at all and my girls love decorating for the holidays.

I have less than a month to get it together and that means I’ll have to get our sad Charlie Brown Christmas Tree out of the attic soon to decorate it.  I swear if I didn’t have kids all I’d be doing is decorating the mantle with some holiday crap and call it a day.  Now the little one wants the house decorated with lights all over the darn place.  She’d be pretty happy if we had it set up like the Griswold’s!

Yea that’s NOT gonna happen!  Now on to my Thanksgiving inspired turkey nail art.  I always have these wonderful nail art ideas in my head and try to be optimistic that they will turn out perfect.  I’m gonna let go of that dream and just be happy with whatever crazy looking nail art I end up with.  LOL   [Read more…]
