Pink Grapefruit Margarita💗

It’s about time for a pink grapefruit margarita! Beautiful served in our red etched or colorful confetti glassware. Vibrantly colored and oh-so juicy, pink grapefruit perfectly balances sweet and sour notes for an undeniably refreshing flavor. Paired it with limes, oranges and a sprinkling of sugar to create a tantalizingly tart grapefruit margarita mixer. Delicious with tequila and other fine spirits, it’s the ideal sip for Taco Tuesdays and spring soirées alike.

Flipping A Room

An afternoon of concentrated design turning an “out of the nester” room into a beautiful guest room. The room still has the feel of his personal style. Touches of plaid, kilim, and a cowhide rug give it texture and a warm masculine feel. What a wonderful space to come home to and also perfect for guest.













Bada Bing Chocolate Cream Pie

Bada Bing Chocolate Cream Pie
A swoon-worthy treat to celebrate your valentine! This pie is filled with the best bittersweet chocolate & bing cherries.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups crushed chocolate graham cracker crumbs (about 10 sheets)
¼ cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1 jar Bada Bing Cherry Jam
1 jar Bittersweet Chocolate Sauce
½ cup milk
3 tablespoons cornstarch
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
For the cream topping
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
10-12 Bada Bing Cherries
Shaved Chocolate, for garnish if desired
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Add the chocolate graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar and melted butter to a large bowl and mix until all of the crumbs are damp and they begin to hold together. Pour ¾ of the mixture into the bottom of a pie plate and press firmly. Spread the remaining mixture along the edge and press it up the sides of the pan making sure the top is even. Bake for 10 minutes, remove and let cool completely.
In a medium sauce pan, add the Bada Bing Cherry Jam and Bittersweet Chocolate Sauce. Stir to combine and warm over medium heat until both have fully melted and incorporated and let simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and milk together to remove all lumps. Pour into the jam and chocolate sauce mixture and bring back to a simmer. Add the almond extract, vanilla extract and salt and simmer for 2-3 minutes while continuously whisking.
Pour the chocolate pie filling into the graham cracker crust. Allow to cool slightly, then cover in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to cool at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
When ready to serve, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla until peaks are formed. Remove plastic wrap from pie and top with the whipped cream. Garnish with Bada Bing Cherries and shaved chocolate and serve chilled.

Snow

“We have things to do…we’re opening today!”-Venita Isn’t the snow beautiful?? The shop will be open today we are busy busy getting ready for Spring.
“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”
