  • Planning on brunch tomorrow? The combo of @valentinedistillingco epic vodka with @mcclurespickles bloody mary mix is perfection...especially if you are feeling a little rough from celebrating. 😂 I like to serve my bloodies with bacon, hot pickles and mini grilled cheese sandwiches. . What's your go-to garnish?! . #cocktails #bar #drinks #cocktail #drink #instagood #party #bartender #yummy #drinkup #photooftheday #mixology #liquor #thirsty #drinking #vodkaplease #yumo #alcohol #craftcocktails
  • Raise your hand if you like Southwest Eggrolls from Chili's! 🙋🏽‍♀️These have the same flavors, but in tortilla bite style. The chipotle ranch is our new obsession--it's fab for fish tacos too! Search "tortilla triangles" on the blog. #DashOfEvans #yumo #bhgfood #buzzfeast #cookathome #homemadegoodness #grandrapidsblogger #michiganblogger #todayfood #todayfoodclub #eeeeeats
  • Swipe for the real life i-gotta-stuff-my-mouth-now pic😂. Okay, boy moms: how do you feed them?! Like this kid eats his weight in food every day😳 Since Liam is a snacker, I try to alternate his favorite carbs with something healthier. We love raisins or these delish dried fruits. They're crunchy amd snacky, but no added sugar and healthy! Win-win! . Any veggie suggestions? This kid runs from anything green. . #MomLife #produceforkids #DashofEvans
  • Blueberry Banana muffins anyone? I make double batches to freeze, then pop them in lunchboxes frozen in the morning. The girls are OBSESSED. . What's your go-to muffin flavor? ⬇️⬇️⬇️ MUFFIN BATTER 1 2/3 cups of flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup coconut oil (sub butter, if desired) 3/4 cup sugar 1 large egg 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 bananas, mashed 2/3 cup fresh or frozen blueberries 1 Tablespoon butter or coconut oil 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon INSTRUCTIONS Preheat the oven to 375º. In a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix with a fork. Using a large bowl, add coconut oil and sugar. Mix over medium speed until combined and creamy. Add egg and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the flour mixture into the bowl. Mix until just combined. Add bananas and blueberries. The batter will be thick! In a small bowl, combine crumble ingredients and mash with a fork. Set aside. Using a 1/4-1/3 measuring cup, add batter to a lined muffin tin. Top with crumble, pressing down a bit. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Enjoy! #DashOfEvans #yumo #bhgfood #buzzfeast #cookathome #homemadegoodness #grandrapidsblogger #michiganblogger #todayfood #todayfoodclub #eeeeeats
  • Happy #NationalMargaritaDay!!!! Margaritas are my favorite drink ever. Creating a sugar free one for InBooze was my main mission for a month last fall. It had to be super citrusy, but pack enough flavor for the tequila to actually be able to call it a margarita. The two I came up with are SO good ya'll!!! . If you have a moment, I'd love for you to like my @inboozekits page here on IG to keep up with the latest sales and fun! . Order classic or spicy marg kits today on InBooze.com...or any of the other 5 varities. I'm slowly changing how people are enjoying their cocktails and loving every damn minute of it! . #InBooze #GirlBoss #grandrapidsblogger #wisiness (did you see Broad City😂) #TequilaTime #MadeInMichigan #damnthatsdelish #WomenWhoMake
  • The snow has started again and I'm feeling very much like garbage. It's totally my fault, last week I got all cocky and was bragging how all of the season's flu bugs passed me by. #lessonlearned . I'm making this stew and crashing on the couch for the day! ⬇️ Ingredients 2 lbs beef stew meat or cubed Chuck roast 1/2 cup flour 1 tablespoon Steak seasoning 1 tablespoon onion powder 6 cups vegetable or beef stock I use Better Than Bouillon 1 cup carrot chopped in rings (about 2 large carrots) 1 cup celery sliced 1 medium sweet potato cubed 1 large onion chopped 2 medium potatoes diced 4 cloves minced garlic 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 can diced tomatoes 2 bay leaves 1 teaspoon thyme Salt & Pepper, to taste 1 bottle of Guinness stout beer using only 1 cup 1 cup frozen green beans 1/2 cup quick cooking barley ⬇️ Instructions In a bowl, add flour, Steak seasoning and onion powder. Mix and add meat, to coat. Set aside. Heat a dutch oven or large soup pot over medium heat. Add 2-3 teaspoons EVOO. Add meat, shaking off each piece before adding. Allow to brown, but not fully cook. Remove from pan, for now. Add more EVOO, if necessary and all fresh veggies, except frozen green beans, and garlic. Stir and cook for 8-10 minutes. Don’t worry about any brown bits at the bottom of the pan–that’s flavor! Add diced tomatoes and tomato paste to the pot. Stir, scraping the bottom of the pot. Season with Worcestershire, salt, pepper, thyme and bay leaf. Slowly pour 1 cup Guinness beer into pot. Focus on scraping the bottom of the pan. Now add vegetable or beef stock and 2 bouillon cubes, plus 1 cups water. Return stew meat to the pot, with any juices that have formed on the plate. Allow to bubble on LOW for 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. The stew is almost ready once the meat becomes tender. In the final 20 minutes, add frozen green beans and barley. Serve with warm crusty rolls or bread. . #DashOfEvans #yumO #bhgfood #buzzfeast #cookathome #homemadegoodness #grandrapidsblogger #michiganblogger #todayfood #todayfoodclub #eeeeeats
