Looki What I Found: My Two Favorite Things

I’m not big on after dinner drinks. They just are too sweet for my taste. I decided a little experiment was in order—mixing two of my current favorite things Mionetto Prosecco and Ciao Bella Sorbet. The result was exactly what I was hoping for. This little after dinner cocktail really hit the spot. Perfect for this 90+ degree weather we’ve had to endure. My personal favorites are the lemon and the blood orange sorbet. The prosecco adds an effervescence that screams summer. So here is how I put these magical little treats together.

First, using a small ice cream scoop—scoop out your choice of sorbet into a frozen martini glass— 3 to 5 scoops, depending on the size of your glass. Next, it gets complicated here, slowly pour the Mionetto Prosecco over the mounding sorbet. Viola, you are ready to sip these refreshing little cocktail. One discovery—the sorbet doesn’t melt right away so you are able to refill your glass!

Happy Summer Everyone!

PS. Check out both Mionetto and Ciao Bella on Facebook—Great recipes, events and promotions!

Sunday #4

I had brunch with a friend a while back at the California Cafe in Los Gatos. Had the best crab melt ever! I’ve re-created them for my family. And everyone—well, almost everyone loves them. I only changed the bread California Cafe’s version uses brioche. I use sweet french bread. I’ve even used this recipe as [...]

Small Bathroom Remodel: We Need Help!

Ever since my husband took the sledgehammer to the shower eight years ago, the rest of the master bathroom has, like an unhappy housewife, “let herself go.” It’s time for a makeover. We need your ideas!

Kids Room Remodel Starts with Paint

We did it finally – we rearranged our tiny 2 bedroom house + office into a 3 bedroom home. Yes, that means the kids have their own rooms and I lost the extra office. Well actually, my husband lost his office and I gained a roomie in my garage office. Grrr… It was time. My [...]

Love this Saratoga dream home!

I was packing my bags when I realized, I didn’t have enough $$$ in my check book. This Saratoga dream is perfect for California entertaining. Kitchen, dining and family rooms are open to each other. The french doors on either side open to the front or back of the home. Love those draperies in the [...]

This Los Altos home was quite simply perfect. I’m a sucker for crown molding and substantial baseboards. I love the way they frame a room. The living and dining room draperies reminded me of elegant ballgowns. But this home felt warm and relaxed not stuffy. The kitchen is spectacular and opens to a great family [...]

Just Listed: Saratoga Dreamin'

As I wound my way up to the top of Bohlman Road, I have to admit my stomach was filled with butterflies. No the drive wasn’t sending my tummy into aerobatics, but the anticipation of what this home was going to look like. I mean 10 acres in the Saratoga Hills. What was this gonna [...]

Ok, I admit it—I’m a city girl. I love the outdoors. It’s just after a day hiking all I want is a really hot shower and a comfy bed when it’s all said and done. Well, this city girl was ready to trade her heels in for cowboy boots this past week. I do own [...]

Can you believe the views??? Nestled at the top of Loma Prieta this home has the most wonderful views. Usually, up in the Los Gatos hills you find yourself in deep shade most of the day—not here. You will find plenty of sunshine and to sweeten the deal lots of flat usable land! You can [...]
