We're kicking off our new cocktail series with a simple bourbon whiskey sour made by our food contributor extraordinaire, Amanda Franklin. This drink is easy, refreshing, and perfect if you're a fan of bourbon whiskey. I have to say I am not a huge fan of whiskey at all but with the addition of fresh lemon and extra orange juice even I liked it. 

Simple Bourbon Whiskey Sour 

1.5 oz Bourbon

3 oz OJ

1 oz lemons juice

1/2 Dried cherries (sweetened) soaked in 1/4 c. hot water (you will have a ton left over, add to oatmeal, fro-yo, serve w/ cheese) (store in fridge for a week)

Shake bourbon, orange juice  + lemon juice, pour over ice and garnish with cherries.

Today we have our food contributor extraordinaire Amanda Franklin showing us how to make fish tacos with a red cabbage mango slaw. I tried one of these tacos and loved it so much I ended up making them again the following week. This recipe is great if you need a quick, healthy, and easy weekday recipe. But it's also a great choice if you are entertaining in the summer months.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you have a wonderful day and weekend ahead. Here are a few of my instagram photos from the past week. The roasted sweet potato soup with quinoa is a must try. The soup is so flavorful and it is the perfect dish on a cold snowy evening.
