Every foodie has that one drink they can’t stop coming back to, for me, it’s this Signature Martini. Inspired by the iconic vesper at Lucky’s, this cocktail has become the drink I’ll mix up for special nights at home, dinner parties, or whenever I want to channel a little old-school glamour in a coupe glass.

It’s strong (you’ve been warned), smooth, icy cold, and just the right mix of crisp, citrusy, and complex. The vodka and gin balance each other beautifully, while dry vermouth (or Lillet Blanc if you prefer a slightly sweeter touch) ties it all together. A final twist of lemon brightens the whole drink, and trust me, the frozen step makes it extra refreshing.

There’s just something about tacos that turns any weeknight into a little celebration. These Blackened Mahi Mahi Tacos are my go-to when I want something fresh, flavorful, and satisfying that doesn’t take forever in the kitchen.

There’s something about bringing food to a family with a new baby that just feels like love in edible form. Over the years, this New Baby Turkey Chili has become my go-to dish to deliver to friends who’ve just welcomed little ones. It’s hearty enough to be filling, yet nourishing with wholesome ingredients that give that “home-cooked hug” feeling.
