When my mother entertained at our home in Wichita Falls, Texas she would really go all out. She made everything herself, including dessert. The one that I remember the most is an ice cream pie that has a crunchy graham cracker crust, 3-4 types of ice cream and sorbet and the best part was the […]
It’s that time of year! Yes to the Holidays! Yes to entertaining with style and pizazz! Yes to celebrating with ease! One of the tricks I always use is to make a signature drink. It’s so impressive when your guests walk in the door to hand them a cocktail that is pretty and festive. Then […]
