Blackberry Ginger Sidecar

November 20, 2016 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 12 Comments

Scheduling and  time management are definitely not my core strengths. My phone reminds me of this repeatedly. Instead of responding to set alarms for upcoming tasks and events, my phone is usually plastered with calendar notifications with past due deadlines of which I unrepentantly swipe to the left for dismissal.

It drives Matt crazy. But he’s makes it too easy by being Mr. Precision. He is my backup reminder. Talk to him and he will say, he is the reminder. Lucky for me redemption is never more than a meal away or in this case a cocktail that we’ve been sipping on for the last few days.

It’s a twist on the classic side car. I traded in the lemon juice for muddled blackberries and Cointreau for a ginger liqueur to give it a fall profile.

This blackberry ginger sidecar is also the featured cocktail on our Thanksgiving menu. A menu that I only put together earlier this morning because I forgot Thanksgiving is this week. If it were not for Matt and him asking if the grocery list was ready, I probably would have had another panic-free day.

Now as it is, I’m going to be elbow-deep in food prep and swiping phone reminders with food-stained fingers for the next few days.

    Aww, it sounds like you two are the perfect pair Naomi! As an ex-chemist, I learned early on that “opposites attract” (although that was meant for protons and electrons…), and it sounds like that’s true for people two. You two are so cute! 🙂 Our Thanksgiving is always incredibly small (just the 4 of us plus Grandma), so we never plan very far in advance. You’d fit right in with us!! 🙂 Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Need an easy recipe that helps prevent food waste, Need an easy recipe that helps prevent food waste, and saves you time and money? What about a chance to win a $500 Walmart giftcard? I've got you covered then. 

This Kale and Sausage Strata is the kind of dish that uses up all those bits and pieces in the refrigerator. This means dig through the crispier and let’s make the most of what’s in there. For what you see here, I threw in two handfuls of kale, 2 cups sausage, some mushrooms and cheese. All things that came together for one cohesive dish. To boost the flavor, I used Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt because its coarse flakes makes it easy to pinch and allows me full control when seasoning a dish.
 
Yay, to doing more with Morton. 

Now I have a challenge for you. Join me and let's #erasefoodwaste. While you are at it, you can also enter @mortonsalt sweepstakes and win a $500 Walmart gift card or other Morton goodies! 
Rules for entry are: 
• Share your no food waste recipe, tag @MortonSalt and use the #DoMoreWithMortonSweepstakes hashtag. 
• Must follow @MortonSalt on IG to participate. Good luck! 
No purchase necessary 18+ Ends 12/31
