Champagne Cocktails!

In 2013, I am so excited to be devoting myself to the creation of my first cookbook, which seemed like a pipe dream last year at this time. I am so grateful to everyone who has inspired and supported me creatively up to this point! In this new year, I encourage you to take a creative leap, start a new project (even if it seems crazy) and make time for something you’ve been wanting to do- you never know where it may lead.

Happy New Year!

PS- I found this video by Tina Roth Eisenberg on “the importance of side projects” especially inspiring. You might, too!

Chai-Nog: A Cozy Cold-Weather Drink

Cozy up with a warm cup of Chai-Nog! Perfect for holidays by the fire. Just mix one part chai tea (from a tea bag) with one part egg nog (non-dairy nog is great too), then sprinkle with nutmeg. Spike it with a bit of whiskey or rum for a nightcap!
