Recipe Summer Drinks: Pineapple Tequila Cocktails

This delicious light and fruity summer drink is sure to be a crowd pleaser. I made it for our Memorial Day bar-b-cue and I couldn’t keep up with the demand for refills. The best part is that the drink is so easy to make, and the pineapple becomes even better tasting then usual after sitting in the alcohol of your drink!

Recipe: Southern Strawberry Peach Pie

This incredible fruit pie has a delicate crust that has that perfect crunch from its light egg wash, a thick layer of fresh picked spring fruit, and a rich custard like middle. The thick batter that you spread on top, bakes together with the fruit to become this beautiful pink, cream, and orange custard. It’s sweet, slightly tart and has hints of caramel. The top becomes golden brown and crisp. Mixing the strawberries and peaches, together with the cinnamon and batter really makes for something special. Especially with home-made whipped cream and fresh mint.

I made it yesterday and couldn’t help myself, I had a piece today for breakfast. It’s that good!

Spring Treat: Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Every year I wait for the beginning of spring for strawberry season so I can make my Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. It’s become quite the tradition, with the pies disappearing faster and faster each time I bake them. I love the sweet tartness of the berries and rhubarb paired with the crisp crust, and put that together with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and it just taste’s like home and spring in the South.

I’m lucky enough to live right up the road from a beautiful strawberry farm, so this basket of strawberries was picked the same day that I bought it. It’s one of the perks of living in the middle of farm country.

Here’s the recipe for my Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
