Valentine Moscow Mule Cocktail
Everywhere I travel, Moscow Mule is on every single cocktail menu that I see. My husband and I have been making them for quite some time, but I thought a Valentine Moscow Mule would be perfect to celebrate Valentine’s Day. I twisted the basic Moscow mule recipe and added fresh strawberries, and it came out so good! If you have ripe, super sweet strawberries, cut the sugar amount in half. For a non alcoholic version, omit the vodka and white cranberry-strawberry juice instead. Enjoy and happy Valentine’s Day!

Just in time for Super Bowl, Valentine’s Day or Mardi Gras, how about a recipe for Skinny Margaritas? I know. Posting a cocktail on Monday? Oh well.. I love this recipe with all the fresh lime and orange juice, using the IMUSA Citrus Juicer.One of the earliest stories of the first margarita ever is that it was invented in 1938 at the Rancho La Gloria Hotel, halfway between Tijuana and Rosarito, Mexico, by Carlos “Danny” Herrera. It’s definitely one of my favorite cocktails!

Who else is really into kale? I am, and it’s awesome that my 3 kids love it too. Not only is it so healthy, but it is very inexpensive and a lot goes such a long way. This recipe for Stuffed Shells with Kale is one of my newest favorites and was inspired by my friend, Kelley of Mountain Mama Cooks. I saw it on her blog, and I made it right away.

It’s perfect for weeknight dinners or even Valentines Day!
