The Best Rosé Sangria Recipe

June 7, 2016

What came first, Musings on Momentum or my love for rosé?  The two have developed and evolved hand in hand, like two peas in a wine drenched pod and are now intrinsically connected at the hip. I attempted to curtail my rosé intake during the colder days of fall and winter but now that the sun is out and the temperature is rising there is no denying me of my one true wine love.

Speaking of warming temperatures…do long and hot summer days just scream sangria to anyone else?  My sangria intake goes up by 100% each summer and lately I feel like I have been whipping up a pitcher a couple times a month.  It was only natural for me to branch away from the red and white sangrias I hold so dear and try my hand at a batch of the rosé variety.

This easy rosé sangria recipe combines the best parts of summer – freshly picked fruit, basil straight from my herb garden, classic lemonade, and, of course, rosé.

Warmer days call for rosé! This easy rosé sangria recipe combines the best parts of summer - fresh fruit and basil, classic lemonade and, of course, rosé.

It not only tastes amazing, it’s beautiful to look at too!

May in Review

June 1, 2016

Beginning today I will be sharing a quick monthly recap of what I have been up to near the end of each month.  I realized early in the month of May that I should be sharing more than fleeting glimpses into the delicious eateries and bars I discover and of the exciting events I attend on Instagram and Snapchat (kasiechelanne).  Each month will be a little different as my calendar and life evolve and some months there likely won’t be as much to share, but that is not the case in this inaugural post!  May has been jam packed full of mind blowing food, cocktails and concerts and I’m excited to give you all a sneak peek into what the last four weeks have brought into my life.

A Craving Satisfying BLT Salad

May 24, 2016

Going gluten free has been easy in some ways and surprisingly challenging in others.  It has been amazing what foods I have found myself desperately missing and just as amazing to note what I don’t miss eating at all.  Take this discovery for example; it turns out that I can live without bread and rarely give the absence of it from my life a second thought.  What I can’t live without is the deliciousness that can be found between two freshly baked slices.  Sometimes I just can’t help but crave the familiar and comforting taste of a classic sandwich.

In the past I would have given in to my appetite, but at this point in my gluten-free journey it isn’t worth the level of discomfort I’ll inevitably feel if I submit.  That’s where this BLT salad comes into play.  In this salad I get all the goodness of a classic BLT without any of the unfortunate side effects of gluten.

Dairy Free Pots de Crème

May 10, 2016

I am something of a chocoholic.  I always have been and imagine that I always will be.  In fact, I have distinct early memories of “helping” my mother prepare chocolate mousse prior to dinner parties when I was a tiny little thing.  She always made amazingly rich mousse that my infantile palette could handle all of about two bites of.  It wasn’t for the faint of heart.

Fast forward twenty-odd years and I now find myself living a dairy-free, mousse-free existence.  It isn’t any fun at all.  To remedy this I’ve been experimenting with various lactose-free mousse alternatives in hopes of creating something even remotely close to my mom’s amazing chocolate mousse.  I’m happy to report that I finally succeeded in this dairy free pots de crème recipe.

Shrimp and Asparagus Stir Fry

April 26, 2016

File today’s recipe under the “dinners we eat once a week” category.  Much like the oven baked salmon recipe I shared a few weeks back, this easy and healthy shrimp and asparagus stir fry makes an appearance on our table more often than I’d like to admit.  Who can blame me for defaulting to it?  It’s quick to whip up, offers an additional dose of vegetables and I just can’t get enough of the tangy combination of ginger, soy sauce and shrimp.  Add in a crisp glass of white wine and an evening warm enough to dine on our balcony and you’ve got the recipe for a perfect spring night as far as I’m concerned.
