ISLAND GIRL TIKTOK GRANDMA ADVICE

ISLAND GIRL

This drink has gained some popularity on TikTok (as well as Gramma’s sex life advice), and thus, the requests for the recipe. So for those of you visiting from there, thank you for looking me up. Here’s that recipe. For those looking for the next dessert box, it’s coming! I am working with Doordash to solidify a delivery system. Thank you for you patience…and interest. A delicious mashup of mostly fresh fruits, and sparkling water

AMARETTO HOT CHOCOLATE

Heads up! This amaretto hot chocolate recipe is for adults only. Even if you remove the booze, something’s kinda missing. Omitting the liquor actually takes away quite a bit from the intended flavor, but the chocolate vibe will not be lost. The amaretto adds even more warmth and richness without going into sweetness overload, and the tequila gives it a much welcomed kick. Also, this is my favorite hot chocolate recipe next to one other that I may end up […]

Dessert boxes for shipping non-subscription dessert boxes

SIFT!’s BEST OF 2020 Dessert Box

Happy December! For many, those two words carry some weight…and hopefully some relief if they need it. Dessert seems to speak to you, so I have a dessert box that may make 2020 fade a bit. This year, if I’ve learned anything (personal-professional lesson), it’s the same lesson I’ve learned year after year – food, especially dessert, is my love language AND I dessert a lot of lovely introverts. Random piece of information. Yes, I know. Anyway, when I decide […]

Bacon Cornbread Recipe

BACON CORNBREAD

Well, it’s about that time! People all over America are preparing for, and making dishes they won’t make until this time next year. The difference, I suppose, will be the number of people the dishes will feed. I intended to have a house full this year, but 2020 has other plans. With that said, this Bacon Cornbread recipe is for those I was expecting at my doorstep, and around my table. This would have been on the menu for you. […]

Cinnamon Coffee Cocktail Recipe

Coffee Cinnamon Rum Cocktail

Cheers to the holiday season…and holiday cocktails! I LOVE dessert cocktails, and coffee, and cinnamon… So I thought I would share one of my favorite drinks to make. I’ve also included the easy recipe for cinnamon syrup also here on the blog. It’s light on the tummy, so serving it as an after-dinner cocktail is most suitable. Even better is that you can put those damn mimosas away; at least, just this once! Try this at your next quarantine brunch. […]

My favorite spice of all time is cinnamon. So I’m adding this foundational recipe to my arsenal. It’s spicy without being too sweet considering that it is a syrup. Drop this stuff in just about anything you can think of! It makes a wonderful add-in for cocktails, but my favorite is hot chocolate. For a coffee based brunch cocktail, try this Coffee Cinnamon Rum Cocktail. It keeps for approximately 2 months. Enjoy! Made for cinnamon lovers! This syrup goes great […]

GURL NO ONE CARE. JUST TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO BUY AT SAFEWAY.” While Imma do what I want, I don’t mind a cue here and there. With that said, […]

GARLIC CILANTRO CORN RECIPE

GARLIC CILANTRO CORN…OR ANY OTHER CORN FOR THAT MATTER

Hello Everyone! I’ve missed posting. Hope you’re all doing well and feeling good. This week I have a recipe of sorts. This one is simple, and more about method and technique than it is about how much of what to put here and there and when… Many of us love corn on the cob. There are multiple ways to cook. Boil, grill, put it in the oven, steam on the stovetop, and others. My preference is boiled in water and […]
