Spicy Peach Mezcal Mule-Rita

July 6, 2017 by theeverykitchen@gmail.com 18 Comments

Spicy Peach Mezcal Mule-Ritas are frothy and sweet with fresh summer peaches. Mezcal adds smoke and jalapeños add a zing. And the best part? They’re ready in five minutes!

Current problem: How do I fit all the star ingredients in this cocktail into a single title that will fit on one line and simply roll off your tongue? Spicy Peach Mezcal Mule-Rita, that’s how. I conquered, but I had to make up a word in the process. Then I think to myself, when did “mule” come to mean “with ginger beer” and when did “margarita” come to mean “with tequila?” Maybe Mule-Rita is gonna be the next big thing. Maybe I’m starting a trend.

Fresh Mango Peach Salsa

There’s one thing to love about Mondays.

Mondays are a fresh start. An opportunity to reinvent yourself. A day for redesigning your outlook on life. You have the choice of waking up on the wrong side of the bed or the right side of the bed and that can set the tone for your entire week.

Really, we can do this on any day, but Monday is a natural day of renewal. Almost every Sunday, I make some promise to myself for the coming week: I will go to the gym regularly. I will be absolutely productive at work and leave on time. I will drink ten glasses of water per day. I will take “me” time, without feeling guilty.

Summer Corn and Tomato Salad with Jalapeño-Lemon Feta

June 16, 2015 by theeverykitchen@gmail.com 8 Comments

Fresh summer corn is probably one of my favorite foods. I know I say that about a lot of foods, but this is true. It’s actually always true… I have a lot of favorite foods! I’m a girl who loves food, what can I say?!

Even not-fresh, always-available corn (i.e. canned corn) has had a special place in my heart for a very long time. When I was still little, but big enough to use the stove, I would heat an entire can of corn, add some butter, and eat the whole thing for supper. I’m a little horrified by that idea now… but I guess it’s okay for a 10-year-old. But seriously, just horrified thinking about it. Where’s the protein? Where’s the calcium or iron or vitamin C? Oy vey… (…rolls eyes at younger self.)

Ready for the easiest recipe ever?

Those words are like sweet music to my ears these days.

This super-simple recipe can be an appetizer, a snack, or an ingredient. In fact, if you stay tuned for my next blog post, you’ll see me use Jalapeño-Lemon Feta in a summer veggie salad side dish something.

I owe you, my blog friends, an apology. I feel like I’ve neglected the Internetsphere lately. I’m at least posting once a week, but they’ve been short and maybe a bit impersonal.
