    Delicious caramel apple cider sangria, festive for fall, but delicious all year round! – – Who doesn’t love apples?  Who doesn’t love wine?  Who doesn’t love putting the two together?  If the answer is you, I’m not entirely sure why you’re reading this, but who am I to judge? First things first, chop some apples!  I really liked having the mix of red and green apples for some extra color, so for this recipe I used red delicious and granny smith.  If I had to pick one though, I’d go with the granny smith.  I like the little bit sour…

    Buttery, garlic shrimp over a bed of buttery garlic pasta!  And this is even a fairly simple recipe!  Perfect for when you need to throw together a meal for the family when you’re prepping and running around to New Year’s parties!  I’d been craving shrimp scampi for some reason recently, so when I snagged some shrimp at the grocery this was my go-to! Usually, I don’t think of shrimp scampi as being spicy, but that little hint of a kick from the red pepper flakes was kinda cool in this recipe!  If spice isn’t your thing, then feel free to…

    lunch review: cooper’s hawk restaurant;

    September 23, 2016bestwithchocolate@gmail.com

    So these past few weeks have been crazy, as I’ve mentioned!  With the wedding, aka Bucknell reunion since like half the guests were college friends, it was an awesome but completely packed wedding weekend!  A whole bunch of the Bucknell crew ended up going to brunch at Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant. I’m actually going to dedicate two posts to this, one for the restaurant now, and a future one to the winery!  That way I can give both aspects their due. So onto the lunch!  We had originally wanted brunch, and I thought they had a brunch menu, but…
