Yesterday’s Mother’s Day brunch shoot was one for the books, but mostly because I had my mother beside me. I knew she’d be tickled with the new clothes from J.McLaughlin, and planning a tasty spread for her was a piece of cake with all of her favorites. I knew, too, that there’s probably nothing she loves more this time of year than sweet fresh strawberries and tart rhubarb, so what better way to use them than in a refreshing rhubarb strawberry gin fizz cocktail?!
I’ve played around with gin fizz variations before (Bruleed Grapefruit Gin Fizz is one of our most popular cocktail recipes of all time and our most recent Lemongrass Gin Fizz is amazing), and I tend to always love them because the fizz offers that bubbly-let’s-celebrate feeling to any gathering. Since of course we’re celebrating Mama K here, I was eager to mix these up with strawberries, but I knew I didn’t want the recipe to become too one note. Enter the perfect, seasonal counterpart to a strawberry, rhubarb. Being known for its biter and tart taste rhubarb compliments those sweet strawberries to a tee. The result, a girly, tangy, sweet pink drink you’ll never want to put down. Tell me friends, how will you be toasting Mom? Truly, MKR

You know what’s a real life saver this time of year? Groceries delivered to your front door. Obviously I’ve been hearing a lot about this new luxury, but I had never got around to trying it out until now. It was well past due though, because between errands and happy hours and last-minute shopping and photoshoots, I am officially maxed out. There’s simply just not enough hours of the day this time of year! So when Shipt reached out to me about its local on-demand grocery service app, I knew it was a sign from Santa’s helpers that it was the perfect time to give grocery delivery a go.
It’s amazing how much time you save (and even unnecessary food you avoid) when you have someone else grabbing items on your grocery list for you. This was especially true when I recently requested Shipt to deliver all of the ingredients for my Chocolate Peppermint Buttercream Cookie Cake, so I could focus my energies instead on wrapping gifts for the Mr. and Addy in the meantime. And did I mention same-day delivery, as soon as one hour? I couldn’t believe it either.
So I’m sure you’re wondering the same thing as I did… how much are the delivery costs? Delivery is free with orders over $35, which is of course so easy to do and very reasonable. And Shipt makes it so easy to see the current deals and coupons too. So often I swear I’ll use a coupon and forget it at home, and the app solves all of that. Thank you, thank you, Shipt, for making my life a little easier this time of year. Now on to the cake… Truly, MKR
P.S. Check out to see if Shipt is in your city! If yours isn’t listed, be sure to let them know you’re going to need it too. And if you’re wondering what to get the hostess with the mostess this year, I have a feeling that a gift of Shipt would be so appreciated! xo
