I think I have a definite love for fruity drinks 🙂

I love the tropical refreshing feeling  get when drinking them.  I think it has to do with when I am drinking a fruity drnk I picture myself on the beach under the sun sipping my cocktail of choice.

You know thats sounds Yummy!

Just love the sweetness and the little kick one gets with the alcohol boost.  Try this drink if you are craving something sweet but with an edge.

So in honor of me missing my Happy Hour post last week Friday I give you two new cocktail recipes…. Enjoy.

Who doesnt like bacon, especially when it is combined with turkey and Ciabatta bread…. No one that I know of.  Exactly!

I came across this Yummilicious (yes I know I just made that word up ) recipe, by my all time favorite Giada De Laurentiis, of Mini Italian Club Sanwiches that I just knew I had to make for ThatsSoYummy’s Food and Wine Mixer.  

These sandwiches were so easy to make and came out as if I had them professionally done.  Everyone loved them at the mixer.

They were DELICIOUS!!!!!

Enjoy!

When I was a little girl the one thing I always wanted more than anything, for Easter were Cadbury Creme Eggs.  I remember always waking up Easter morning and right before going to church my mom would have little easter baskets set up that the “Easter Bunny” dropped off for me and my brother and sisters.  Inside mine were always these chocolate covered creme eggs.  It was the highlight of my Easter holiday.
