A Bourbon Lemon Cocktail perfect for happy hour

A well-made bourbon sour (or bourbon smash drink) is a refreshing joy to drink. Made with bourbon and a generous amount of simple syrup and lemon juice, it’s sweet while still being well, sour.

But what if you could elevate the experience even more? This Bourbon Rosemary Cocktail only requires adding a few sprigs of rosemary to the pot while you’re making the simple syrup.

This rosemary-infused simple syrup is also the backbone of my cranberry rosemary cocktail, grapefruit vodka cocktail and rosemary gin cocktail.

Today, we’re using it for a sophisticated yet approachable twist on a classic bourbon sour.

Why you will love this Lemon Bourbon Rosemary Drink

  • A great way to use up extra rosemary you have on hand.
  • A way to elevate even a not-so-luxe bottle of bourbon.
  • Super easy measurements and no special bartending skills required.

Have you ever had Zucchini Grilled?

While sauteed and roasted zucchini are delicious, my personal favorite way to prepare this vegetable is on the grill.

If you’ve ever been intimidated by grilling zucchini, I can assure you that it’s easier than you think!

While many recipes require some precise knife work to cut each zucchini into perfectly flat slices, this one takes a much easier approach to cutting the vegetable.

Long spears of zucchini are super easy to cut and grill. We’ll also be adding a miso glaze for rich umami flavor with a touch of sweetness, elevating grilled zucchini to a whole new level.

Why you’ll love Grilled Zucchini

  • No special knife skills needed. Even a beginner cook can get this right!
  • 15 minutes, start to finish.
  • The umami-rich miso glaze makes it a joy to eat your veggies.

Avocado Burgers are where it’s at!

Hamburgers made at home don’t have to be just sad patties topped with a Kraft cheese single (but honestly, that’s the way I grew up eating them).

If you like restaurant-style burgers with creative toppings and flavorful sauces (think Red Robin), this Avocado Burger recipe will delight your taste buds.

The cilantro mayo especially is what sets this recipe apart from others. It combines with the avocado to make a flavorful bite that guacamole lovers will appreciate.

  • Big restaurant-quality flavor, made at home with everyday ingredients.

Pickling Jalapenos at Home

Today, I’m sharing one of my favorite condiments (or is it a side dish?) for summer recipes, pickled jalapenos.

They are so so easy and affordable to make at home, and for some reason, it just feels right to have a batch of them in my fridge all summer long (and they’re certainly welcome the rest of the year, too).

What are Pickled Jalapenos?

Pickled jalapenos are a condiment made by preserving sliced jalapeno peppers in a seasoned vinegar solution.

The pickling process adds tang and tempers the spiciness of the peppers a little bit.

Why you will love Pickled Jalapeno Peppers

  • A very budget friendly way to add big flavor to meals.
  • They come together in just 10 minutes!
  • Their acidic spiciness pairs so well with rich grilled meats and tacos of all kinds.

This Baby Back Ribs in Oven recipe couldn’t be easier!

When it comes to the most amount of deliciousness for the least amount of effort, oven baked baby back ribs take the grand prize, in my opinion.

You only need three ingredients – the ribs, seasoning rub (either homemade or store bought) and some barbecue sauce (I always use store bought).

After a quick five minutes of prep work, your oven will literally do all of the work for you.

Whether you’re hosting a backyard cookout or just craving some succulent ribs, this recipe will become a go-to for you!

Why you will love these Oven Baby Back Ribs

  • You only need one pan. No transferring to the grill, and we’re not making homemade sauce. One rimmed sheet pan is the only dish you’ll have to do.
  • No flipping. Put the ribs in the oven and forget about them for 2 hours!
  • Recipe can easily be scaled up or down to make more or less servings.
