Good Company + Good Martinis = Good Times

Okay, we will start with the company first....we had the pleasure of hosting my Aunt Nancy for a visit this past weekend. We LOVED having her here for several different reasons...(in no particular order)...the girls would wake her up in the morning instead of us, she provided us with some great "late" night conversations, she has great insight on life, love and raising a family and most of all we just straight out enjoyed having her in our home.

Next, the good martinis....yummy. My all time favorite martini is of the pomegranate variety. This martini is so smooth and tasty you hardly know it has alcohol in it and it is pretty healthy for you too...pomegranate juice is loaded with antioxidants! Here is how I make mine...

1 1/2 cups pomegranate juice

2 ounces vodka

1 ounce cointreau
(this recipe makes enough for two martinis)

The good times were shared by many...my Mom, Dad, Jason, Maura and Gavin came over for dinner on Saturday night. The kids played outside and jumped in the leaves, the guys drank beers while the girls had martinis and we feasted on a delicious meal prepared by my Mom and Dad.


Cheers!
