Strawberry Champagne Cocktail Recipe

Happy Valentine’s Day!  I don’t know about you, but this holiday always makes me want to open up some bubbly!!  That’s why I’m sharing my super easy to make Strawberry Champagne Cocktail Recipe.  It takes next to no-time and is absolutely delicious!  You can use fresh or frozen strawberries for this recipe.  If you use fresh (like I did) you’ll be able to make cute little garnish hearts with them.  The downside to using fresh strawberries is that you still have to freeze them to get the full effect of the drink.  OR you could just buy both.  And in case you were looking for something yummy to eat with this delicious cocktail, it pairs well with my Sea Salt Chocolate Donut Recipe.  Grab my strawberry cocktail recipe below and have a lovely holiday:

 

• strawberries – frozen, fresh or both
• champagne or prosecco

 

Happy Valentine’s Day!

• If you used fresh strawberries, set some aside for your garnish.  Take the rest of your strawberries and chop the greenery off the top and freeze.  It does not take long to freeze strawberries, I think I left them in the freezer for about 2 hours.
• Blend frozen strawberries with champagne/prosecco.  There is no wrong ingredient proportion!  You want to get tipsy?  Add more champagne!  You love strawberries with all your heart?  Add more strawberries!  I promise it will taste good, no matter what.

An Airy Oceanside Home in Palm Beach

Have you ever seen someone’s home and wished you could shop it? Like, “Hey girl! How much for that sofa and those lamp shades?”. That’s the feeling I got when I first saw Heidi Correa’s beach house in Palm Beach. I wanted one of everything! Let me walk you through my shopping extravaganza…

First item on my shopping list, that view! I want it!

More lovely views (le sigh)

Item #2: A simple yet beautiful coastal bathroom

Item #3: An oversized white sofa that never gets dirty, complete with a white cozy blanket that also never gets dirty. I want it!

Item #4: The super cute turquoise cabinet. I want it.

Item #5: All those throw pillows. I want ’em.  All of ’em.

view upon views upon views

Item #6: That pink feathery thing that may be a hat or a burlesque accessory. I want it.

Item #7: That small yet whimsical wicker chandelier. I want it.

oh yeah, and those views!

Item #8: Large tropical fronds. Okay so I already have some of these in my home… BUT I want more!

Item #9: Please add those throw pillows to my shopping cart and that aqua tv cabinet. I love ’em. I want ’em.

Item #10: A home that looks like a lifeguard tower but with more square footage and a bathroom. I want it!

Coconut Blueberry Biscuits Recipe

My Coconut Blueberry Biscuit Recipe offers the perfect bite of hygge during this chilly season.  These blueberry biscuits seem to just melt away in your mouth with the perfect burst of blueberry flavor.  Also did I mention it’s a super easy recipe to bake for breakfast or a coffee/tea break?  Grab this yummy biscuit recipe below:

 

 

• 1 cup coconut flour
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 3/4 cup coconut milk
• Sugar for topping (optional)

 

 

1. Preheat oven to 425′
2. Stir the flours together until combined
3. Add the coconut oil in small scoops one at a time (about a tablespoon) and push the oil into the flour with a fork
4. Stir in the coconut milk and blueberries and knead until a dough forms
5. Roll out dough with hands to about a 1/2″ thickness
6. I used a water glass to cut out the biscuits
7. Bake for 10 – 12 minutes until tops are lightly golden brown
8. Once their done baking, immediately sprinkle with sugar

70’s Beach House Tour

I am loving this laid back 70’s beach house!  The decor is simple with lots of natural fibers and statement pieces that made me want to shop this beach house!!  Wait till you see the sofa…

 

The sofa! Am I right?!! I’ve never seen a sofa so good before!!

I need some of those wooden waves! I didn’t even know they existed until now.

just some laid back living

I love how the landscape does most of the work for this outdoor space

rustic benches and picnic tables? Yes, please!
