Spicy Pineapple Margarita

Ingredients

• 1 pineapple, cored and cubed into chunks
• 1 jalapeños, cut into thin rounds
• limes (2 per cocktail)
• fresh mint
• reposado tequila or mezcal
• cointreau (substitute triple sec)
• mint syrup (see notes)
• rim: chili powder, lime zest, salt or tajin
• ice

Instructions

1. To a shaker tin: add a handful of pineapple chunks, smack a few mint leaves in your hand's palm and add those to the shaker along with juice from 2 limes and 1-2 jalapeños rounds. Muddle everything together well. You want to try and create a bit of pineapple juice during this process.
2. Add 1.5 ounce of tequila, 0.5 ounce cointreau, and 0.25 ounce of mint syrup to the shaker. Fill with ice and shake well for 30 seconds.
3. Pour a bit of mint syrup out into a small shallow plate, rim a low ball glass along the edge in the syrup and then into the combined chili powder, lime zest and salt mixture.
4. Fill glass with fresh ice and pour contents of shaker into rimmed glass using a strainer to double strain so that you are left with a smooth cocktail.
5. Notes:
6. Mint syrup: bring equal parts water and sugar to a boil. Once all the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is clear, add a large handful of mint leaves with the stem. Let that simmer on low for 10 minutes. This will infuse the mint flavors into the syrup. Let that cool a bit and transfer into a glass jar.
7. 1/2 cup each should yield 8 cocktails.

The flavor of the sweet fresh pineapple, mint and the spicy smoked jalapeño really work well together! Dave gave this one 5 ⭐️’s. Cheers!

DIY Textured Canvas

I have been dying to try this for quite sometime now. I am a creative but I’m definitely not an artist like my father or daughter. It seems like you don’t really have to be one to accomplish this little DIY.

The supplies needed:

• Canvas of your choice. I wanted a framed canvas, this canvas pops out to paint and pops back in when you’re finished. I ordered mine from BLICK, you can find it here.

• Drywall mud or spackle

• Blue tape if your frame doesn’t remove.

• A variety of putty knives. I used palette knives that I found at Hobby Lobby

• Paint, one white and the other your choice.

Prep

Set up an area with an old sheet or plastic drop cloth. Lightly paint the canvas with white paint to prep it and help keep it from getting wet during the mud process.

Get Creative!

I really had bigger dreams for this project and they look great, they definitely bring the texture that I was going for but the intricate pattern I had planned to do proved a little difficult. I do think you improve with each canvas.

TA DA!

I would definitely do this again, now I just need to decide where to place them!

Fall Is On The Way

I was recently at Hobby Lobby getting supplies for my canvas DIY and the fall stuff is everywhere, as I’m sure you are well aware of. I picked up a handful of fall colored dried florals and created a really quick fall vase. I used an amber vase I have on hand but think I will try and pick up a crock or a vintage piece of pottery. Do you decorate for fall where you live?

Organizing 101

After

We were in Seattle, tackling a large organizing project that consisted of a large playroom, storage room and the family of five’s “drop zone”. It was a push but we completed it all in four short (well, long) days. This before (below) is of a cabinet meant to store the backstock for this growing family. It became a mixture of items and once it was organized we had more space and the ability to see it all and access it easily! Thank you to the Horn Family we had a fun week getting to know you!

Before

You can see how organizing can improve your daily living!
