About Me

I'm a full-time working mom of 3 in the IT industry, with a great husband. When not spending time with the family, I like to spend my time in the kitchen. I like to cook. I love to eat. I adore entertaining people. I prefer not to go by any particular recipe, but experiment on my own. I'm not professionally trained in any way and I don't claim to be correct on anything I might post. Meals are often tossed together at the last minute. Sometimes I think about them during the day, sometimes I browse my cook book library and compare ingredients of great chefs before me. Sometimes I scour the internet, and sometimes they are literally pulled from the freezer and tossed into a pan.

I also used to dabble in cake decorating. {shameless plug: Cakes By Jenn Facebook}

These are those stories. I play with my food.

Orange Paradise

I don't just play with food.  I can often be found "behind a bar" mixing drinks.  Several years ago I took a bar tending class.  The hope was to pick up a few night shifts during the week and make some extra cash.  However, they all required Friday and Saturdays and I didn't want to commit to those full time.  I did however spend a few nights and Fiesta weekend behind the bar at Valentino's last summer.  That was a lot of fun.

I'm at work, so this is a quicky update and it's a SUPER easy recipe.  I'm sitting here thinking it would be nice to have one of these right about now.  "Why are you thinking about drinking at work Jenn?" - have you seen what I do on a daily basis?  I need a drink today.

Anyhow, I did make this last night and tossed it together with whatever I had at home.
This is a mix in the glass drink, it's that quick.

Apple, Kiwi, Strawberry Juice - pretty sure it was Langer's brand
Bicardi O - this is an Orange Rum


Pour 1 shot of the run into the bottom of your martini glass
Fill the rest of the way with Juice.
Drink.

Optional:  rim the glass with margarita sugar, drop an orange slice into the bottom

Caution:  You can't taste the rum and this goes down fast.  For a stronger drink, add more rum to taste.

Cheers!

    Don't have Bicardi O, or an orange rum? No problem... I made this last night with Captn' Morgan's spiced rum... I think I liked it better!
