🌷Well, even though the calendar says we are firmly in ‘Spring’ territory, we here in the Berkshires, had a day of cold & snow yesterday!

❄️ Rather than fight it, I broke out some good @hillrockestatedistillery bourbon and some luscious apple & orange fruit juices.

🍁 Combined with a warming & easy to make simple syrup, featuring Canadian maple syrup & allspice berries, this drink was a great way to embrace the Spring snowy weather!

Can you tell by my look, that my husband is cracking a joke from behind the camera? 😜

I haven’t always been comfortable in front of the camera. In fact, I was that lady that would rather dive into the bushes or hide behind a friend in group photographs!

👉🏻 Being on stage in front of hundreds of people as a ballerina, was actually more natural for me then these sort of candid shots!

🙌🏻 But, it’s so important as a creator to make sure you do get in front of the lens! Not only to say ‘hi’, but to help build that amazing connection with your audience. My food & cocktails tell a story for sure, but sharing the face behind the pretty food & recipes helps me feel like I’m building a stronger connection with the STTHB community, as well as show the personality behind the food!

𝑸𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: Do you post photos of yourself to your feed? Why or why not? I’m always so curious to hear all of the different opinions!

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐀

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐭! Sometimes the simplest of ingredients make the most delicious of meals!

Potatoes, sour cream, butter, cheddar, bacon, parsley, and S&P. A little olive oil & then some roasting in the oven. There’s something magical when the right combination of flavors, time, and heat come together!

Good food with easy to follow recipes, made using real ingredients, is totally possible for every level of home cook!

Sometimes cake for breakfast will only do...

The mornings are still crisp here, but not so chilly that I can’t go sit on my sunny front step with a hot cup of coffee, and of course, a slice of 𝐕𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢 & 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐤𝐞!

Tender buttery cake, scented with ground chai and juicy slices of fresh pear. 🍐

TIP: I am almost always rushed in the mornings. The kids need to be fed and get ready for school, the cats are scratching me for their breakfast, and the ‘mum shuttle’ is leaving in ten minutes. I always have something ready made for me to grab in the mornings! Anything from a slice of Bundt cake to hard boiled eggs, even a piece of sourdough toast slathered with homemade jam is the perfect brekkie!

Let’s Rock this Monday!

Hello hello! There are a lot of new faces here 👋🏻 𝐻𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝓎! Welcome! You’ve come to the right place if you love fun original cocktails, step by step recipes, and everything good about butter & sugar!

🎉 I believe in the power of real food, full big flavors, and from scratch cooking. 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆 can be a cook. Seriously. I’m self taught and it’s my goal to teach you to make the same dishes & drinks that I feature on my feed. ❤️

Here are some Fast Facts about me!

>⃝ I love creating new dessert recipes! I have a huge sweet tooth! Lemon, chocolate, and caramel are some of my favorite flavor profiles. I’m always playing with flour & sugar in my kitchen!

>⃝ As a former professional ballerina, clean lines & elegant details always capture my attention! I spent years in the studio and on stage, before turning to food & cocktails! My performing days have also made my transition to television cooking segments a natural ‘leap’ too!

>⃝ I have a punky streak. No joke! Back in the day, I was a tutu wearing bunhead, but I also had blue streaks in my hair & embraced ripped fishnets and biker jackets! Even though I’ve matured a bit, I still love to mix a little ‘toughness’ in with my more feminine style 🌸

>⃝ if I could only have 3 foods for the rest of my life, I would choose tomatoes, sourdough bread, and chocolate. And champagne. 🥂

👉🏻 What would you choose for your 3 ‘always’ foods?
