Happy first day of Fall! I'm welcoming the new season with this Mulled Apple Cider.⁠⠀

It's warming and cozy and full of Fall flavours, here's the recipe:⁠⠀
⁠⠀

6 cups apple cider or pure pressed apple juice⁠⠀
2 cinnamon sticks⁠⠀

Cooler weather means all the comfort food like this Cheddar and Gruyere Grilled Cheese with Honey.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The small details in this sandwich like the sourdough bread, thyme, and honey make a big difference in flavour.⁠⠀

I’m finishing up my case of peaches from BC and saying a little farewell to summer with this Peach Basil Wine Spritzer.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It takes only 4 ingredients for this cocktail to come together and I love using my copper mugs to keep everything refreshing and cool (and they look really good too). Here's the recipe:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
INGREDIENTS⁠⠀
1/2 peach, chopped⁠⠀
3 large basil leaves⁠⠀
pinch sugar⁠⠀
4 oz white wine I love sauvignon blanc with this cocktail⁠⠀
2 oz sparkling water⁠⠀
⁠⠀
INSTRUCTIONS⁠⠀
Add peach pieces, basil leaves and a pinch of sugar to a mason jar. Using a wooden spoon or muddler, smash the peach pieces with basil a couple of times until the peaches start to release their juices.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Add in the white wine and stir a couple of times. Fill a moscow mule mug half-way with ice, pour the peach-white wine mixture into the mug and then top with sparkling water. Cheers & enjoy!⁠⠀

{ad} There's nothing I love more than gathering around the table for a delicious meal, paired with the perfect wine of course! I partnered with Calgary-based @hellosomedaywine to create 3 new fall recipes that go PERFECTLY with their Crossroads Red wine! Aged in French oak, this Crossroads Red is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Merlot. You'll find black cherry and cocoa flavour notes which pairs lovely with firm cheeses and steak.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, get all the Fall feels with these delish dishes in their latest eBook:
* Apple, Gouda & Bacon Cracker Bites
* Steak with Red Wine Pan Sauce
* One-Pan Roasted Potatoes & Carrots
Click the link in my bio to sign-up to get this latest eBook from @hellosomedaywine ! AND if you're looking to try their wine, find local locations to purchase in Calgary & Edmonton on their website.
