Most of my cocktail choices involve ginger beer because the spicy/sweetness pairs well with gin or bourbon (my two favorite spirits). Plus, I love that tingly mouth burn you get with ginger. Maybe that’s why I love kombucha so much?
I’ve made my own lemon ginger elixir before, but never my own ginger beer/ginger brew.
Let me show you how easy it is to make DIY Ginger Brew. Your summer cocktail lineup just got a little more exciting.At least that’s what I’m hoping!
It’s Monday! It felt like the Summer over the weekend and I didn’t want it to end. As I was typing this list and getting myself ready for the upcoming week, our cat Rosie unexpectedly got sick. Casey rushed her to the emergency vet and is staying there overnight. Please send good thoughts!
Life is filled with unexpected events, isn’t it?
I just want my cat to be OK!!!
***Rosie update! She’s resting at home. She ate a spider and threw it up immediately and had quite a severe reaction to it. Thanks so much for the love!!!***
I’ve been feeling very scattered lately and I need to get myself back on track this week. Perhaps if I remind myself to FOCUS, I’ll be more apt to get in a better focusing zone.
How can I do that? Maybe set some timers throughout the week. I will give myself realistic timers to complete projects and I will try not to waste time and get distracted during the process.
Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life- Week 20:
Happy Mother’s Day to my Mom! I made this for her:
We had my parents over for dinner on Mother’s Day. I made a Greek feast and we got a chance to dine outside because the weather was perfect.
And a little dessert to go with it.
Working on my Bullet Journal/writing down my intentions for the week.
I love these plants. Especially when it’s breezy. They’re so prety and fuzzy.
This week I went to Camp Covert at Covert Estate in Coombsville, Napa with a few other bloggers.
The day included harvesting vegetables, tasting wine, cooking together outdoors and feasting!
What a way to spend a Tuesday!!
That’s me with some lettuce I picked.
We got to take home some bay leaves.
The chive blossoms were so pretty.
Welcome to I LOVE LISTS!! It’s Friday, let’s surf the internet together!
For all my blogger friends who are into Pinterest, if looking for a good way to schedule pins, I highly recommend Tailwind. They’re having a really good promotional deal this month if you refer your friends. That means you can set up your own tribe and essentially pay for your membership. If you’re not a person who schedules pins, then ignore! 🙂
Teriyaki is a word that my brain never wants to spell right. My brain also has a hard time spelling Marilyn. There’s something about the y and the i that throws my brain off. Brains are weird.
Now that I have spelled teriyaki correctly (thanks, spellcheck!) I can tell you more about my new favorite Chicken Teriyaki recipe. Cooper loved it. Casey didn’t complain. It didn’t really take that much time and I was able to turn leftovers into fried rice so I feel like we might have something new to add to our meal rotation.
This tastes like the kind of teriyaki chicken you’d get in a Japanese restaurant. The glaze is pretty tasty and the overnight marinade really makes the chicken flavorful. You might have some extra sauce with this recipe, but that’s great because it’s amazing on the leftovers! I’m curious how it would taste on salmon….
Happy Monday! How’s it feeling for you today? I am not starting this week with a clean fridge or meal prep (Mother’s Day celebration!) so I am sure I am going to be a little thrown off this week. It’s cool. I’ll regroup. I feel like this week is going to be my tying up loose ends week. At least I hope it is!
Here’s what this past week looked like- Week 19 of My Everyday Life:
The light! Summer isn’t far from now:
Is this dog smiling? I think it’s smiling. I don’t understand dogs very well.
I think that’s me on the right?
Sleepovers at our house include sparklers.
And pictures for posterity!
Meal prep we ate during this week:
This is something I posted on Instagram this week with this caption:
