My husband and I LOVE a stellar cocktail recipe! Pre-kids we enjoyed perfecting our mixology skills and sipping delicious cocktails at many fabulous cocktail lounges! As our lives have slowly adjusted post-kids, we have somehow managed to start sipping fun cocktails again. Birthday parties are a perfect excuse to make a delicious cocktail for you and your guests!

Pancakes are a breakfast staple in our household. To keep things interesting, I am always developing new recipes. I love these easy, delicious pancakes served with Honey Butter Syrup. Great for those days when someone forgot to pick up the maple syrup! On this particular day, I decided to experiment with making butter pats using cookie cutters.
