Cucumber Lime Frozen Margaritas with Fresh Mint

July 7, 2022 No Comments

Well, I’m very excited to share these Cucumber Lime Frozen Margaritas with you today. Why? Because the frozen margarita is my guilty pleasure cocktail. I don’t particularly care for the phrase “guilty pleasure” in all honesty. I don’t feel remotely guilty for loving these grown-up slushies. But it’s true, I do feel less sophisticated when I order a frozen margarita over say, an Old Fashioned or even a traditional shaken margarita. But no perceived cocktail faux pas will keep me from ordering the drink I want. The heart wants what it wants, and today my heart wants these Cucumber Lime Frozen Margaritas.

Shrimp rolls always have a spot on my summer eats bucket list. They’re snuggled right up there next to lobster with potato salad and a slice of strawberry shortcake. A shrimp roll with a side of potato chips is simply summer to me. And when I order a shrimp roll, only the classic will do. So that’s what I’m bringing you today. There is no twist, no unexpected ingredient, and no out-of-left-field technique. What we have here is simply a damn good set of shrimp rolls meticulously prepared. So without further ado, let’s break down these Shrimp Rolls with Garlic Chive Butter.

Yesterday was the last day of school here in Ontario. And in spite of not having children myself, I can’t help but be excited. That childhood programming is strong. I get depressed in September and happy in June. My schedule remains the same but the end of June always has an air of freedom to it. And I’d venture to say that I’m not the only one who feels that way. It seems like there are invites to backyard BBQs and Patio shindigs arriving almost daily. Everyone is ready to party. And if you’re looking to draw up invitations of your own, have I got the dish for you. Allow me to introduce you to these Eggplant Chips with Honey and Goat Cheese.

It’s time for another installment of my ongoing Overthinking Classics series. If you’re new here, Overthinking Classics is a video series where I dissect beloved dishes, overthink them from every angle, and rebuild them into my version of perfect. I say “my version of perfect” because what you look for in, say, a plate of pasta might be very different than what I look for. Today, I’m tackling the classic cheeseburger. A year-round favorite that really comes into its own in the summer. Pair this bad boy with a milkshake and a side of fries for the full nostalgic experience.
