Irish Minestrone Soup #MoviesandMunchies

Unlike Italian Minestrone, Irish Minestrone contains no beans and includes bacon.  It is perfect as a starter, a delicious lunch, or a hearty dinner when served with some soda bread and a salad.

I was inspired to make this soup after watching Leap Year, our Movies and Munchies selection for March. I am sharing it today in celebration of St. Patrick's Day.

Maple Bourbon Smash #SundayFunday

Cheers!!!  We are celebrating the birth of our first grandson, Milan, who was born yesterday morning at 6:45 AM.  When we got back from the hospital, Frank made us each a Maple Bourbon Smash to commemorate this momentous day.

We chose this particular cocktail because the Sunday Funday Bloggers are preparing to celebrate Maple Syrup Saturday on March 21st.......

Celebrating National Mulled Wine Month French Style

March is National Mulled Wine Month.  I would have expected this delicious, aromatic delight to be celebrated in the dead of winter, perhaps January or February, but it is a delightful way to welcome in Spring while the chill remains in the air.

Vin Chaud

In France, Mulled Wine is Vin Chaud, and since it is time for the French Winophiles to gather, I asked the others to join me in celebration.  Cheers.......

Medovik #SundayFunday

Thin layers of cake sweetened with honey and drenched in a sour cream frosting, this traditional Russian cake is labor-intensive and delicious.  It is best made a day before you serve it.
