Hot Buttered Rum Mix
We're having some pretty cold weather here in the Pacific Northwest, and Hot Buttered Rum sounds so good to me. This recipe makes enough for 36 servings of the mix, so you'll have enough for a cozy, winter party or an ongoing indulgence for yourself. I think it's a great after-dinner drink. Below, I've also included the instructions for making just a single serving of Hot Buttered Rum once you have the mix together.…
Read MoreBoozy Golden Milk
Golden Milk is more or less a turmeric latte. It's meant to have a lot of health benefits because, among other things, turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties. If we add black pepper, it's even healthier because the pepper makes the turmeric more available for use in our bodies. I only play a doctor on TV, so don't listen to any health advice from me.

I love the Jalapeño Cheddar flavor but take your pick.

On to the recipe… So maybe this is just a chocolate martini, but it did take…

I have to admit it: I’m not one of those people who needs seasons. I’m pretty happy with a steady 80 degrees and sun. This cocktail might help me to welcome fall a little bit more easily, so I can put on my gloves and boots and heavy coat and scarf and…drink a warming, mellow cocktail. And the best part is that it’s lower in sugar and extremely easy to make. Let’s focus on…

I’ve always been partial to a White Russian, so I went to a lot of trouble to find a tasty DIY coffee liqueur and make this low-carb. I hope you like it as much as I do. The dude abides!Food pairing: Mocha Chip Biscotti from All Day I Dream About Food
