Oatmeal and I haven’t always had a lovely relationship. Sure – I love a good oatmeal cookie now and then and love using it in granola and recipes but oatmeal on its own – notsomuch. Perhaps it was one of those lovely micro packets back when I was a kid that had the flavor what one might think of as cardboard with chewy “fruit” flavor. Perhaps I nuked the heck out of it. Any way I looked at it – if you told me I was having oatmeal for breakfast, I probably would tell you not in this lifetime. As I’ve gotten older, I do keep some “instant” oatmeal at the 9to9 and, if I do decide oatmeal is the way to start the day, I’ll jazz it up with my own spin. My friends have talked about overnight oats and baked oatmeal as the way to make oatmeal nowadays, so I thought I’d give my own attempt a try. The key would be to make a recipe that was so good I’d crave it again. Well folks, we have an oatmeal convert here – this Lemon Blackberry Baked Oatmeal is a tried and true dish that will be made time and time again. …

Easiest Ever Homemade Raspberry Acai Gelatin

June 2, 2014 By Aly 6 Comments

Recently, when I was developing a signature cocktail for Girls’ Night In, a divine Berry Thyme Spritzer, I thought that why not only use Trop50 Raspberry Acai juice in the cocktail/mocktail, but also in a retro dessert that will take my friends way back – a Homemade Raspberry Acai Gelatin.

Back in the day, when my BFF Meowmix would organize gals’ night up in Massachusetts, a visit to this club, The Palace, was always on the agenda and we’d have a blast with some friends of ours dancin’ the night away. Now – the Palace had a few nightclubs within the spot – the typical dance club, a nice lounge and, of course, a more sedate version of a “Magic Mike” room where some of our friends worked. I think the hilarity that would ensue from watching some of my friends and club attendees get a bit tipsy was due in part to our friend Frank’s “Jello Shots” that he would serve at the bar. One of these days, I’ll have to see if Meowmix has a pic from those days but let’s just say, the stories we could tell would have you in tears of laughter….

A Refreshing Berry Thyme Spritzer For A Trop50 #GirlsNightIn

For a refreshing mocktail perfect for summer, you need to make a pitcher of this refreshing Berry Thyme Spritzer

This is a sponsored post. My opinion is my own. This post may contain affiliate links to products I adore and trust in my kitchen. Thank you for supporting Cooking In Stilettos.

I have the ultimate refreshing summer sip for you today – a Berry Thyme Spritzer that I know you are going to adore.

When I told some friends that I was testing out some new recipes and how did they feel about a Girls’ Night In – they were all for it. Lately it seems that going out requires one to essentially take out a mortgage and the club scene is a bit too much. I tend to prefer the more relaxed version of great food, great friends and lots of laughter – the essentials for any fabulous Girls’ Night In, right?…
