Fourth of July Dessert: Red, white and blueberry pie

Looking for a Fourth of July dessert? Well I’ve got the perfect one right here. It’s a red, white and blueberry pie. Infused with Fireball Whisky, freshly grated cinnamon and vanilla bean, this combination of Granny Smith apples, rhubarb and blueberries is a crowd pleaser. The magic of the Fourth of July I’m not a super patriotic person, but I do love a good Fourth of July celebration. It brings me back to the old days growing up when my parents would take us out to a dirt field to somewhat responsibly set off a barrage of fireworks. My dad …

So what better than a Peach Margarita? Or better yet, call them Marsgaritas because Mars just recently entered Taurus. Taurus is ruled by Venus and so are peaches, so there you go. And just one sip and you’ll be singing, “Wasting away again in Margaritaville.” Peaches are not just a summer staple, they are also a fruit of longevity. I added a touch of mint …

Burst of joy mango salad

I’ve never really been into mangoes. I don’t know why. I guess they just weren’t really readily available when I was growing up. But recently, local grocery stores got overloaded with a large supply of honey mangoes and put them on sale. And I’ve never been one to turn down a sale. So I decided to give them a try.

Potato Salad with a Taurean twist

Earlier this month, I decided to celebrate the New Moon in Taurus, and set an intention for building new wealth, with…wait for it…potato salad. Why potato salad, you ask? Because potatoes are of the earth. They are stable and grounding. They grow beneath the surface in fertile soil, and are shaped like the moon, so I feel they are the perfect vehicle for honoring an Earth sign moon (Capricorn, Taurus or Virgo). I also picked Yukon Gold potatoes because they are just that: gold. Then, for the dressing, I put together dill and parsley and a surprising hint of nutmeg …
