After a long, hard day I want to be able to come home and make my family a tasty, nutritious dinner without a whole lot of fuss and muss. Fast, easy, AND relatively nutritious is what I’m asking for. Repeatedly I turn to this simple and fast Thai curry recipe to get supper on the table.
I’m a midwestern girl and not in any way an expert in curry. At all. But, I DO like to eat it and have tried many, many curries in my 37 years. So I know this one is tasty. The way my family and friends consume this stuff in gallons is further confirmation :).
Start with a bit of hot oil in your large sauce pan and add some chopped onion. Cook that for a couple minutes until transparent.
Add all of your additional ingredients, bring to a low boil, and boil gently for about 7 minutes or until your broccoli is tender.
My secret ingredient?
brown sugar.
It adds sweetness and counters the bite from the spices. If you aren’t a Swedish Midwest girl you may want to leave it out completely. But if you shy away from spicy foods adding the brown sugar might be that secret something you needed to know!
I want to lick off the screen! I could eat this Thai curry recipe for every single meal for every single day. Gosh, I love the sweet and spicy of this stuff. The coconut milk is rich and still gentle for the lactose-intolerant. Mushrooms bring heartiness, broccoli adds perfect green texture and bamboo shoots are a great crunch.
Tip:
Try microwaving a potato or sweet potato, cutting it into quarters, and adding it at the end of the cooking time.
Fresh basil torn and added with your other ingredients is utterly amazing in curry. Use a couple of leaves to give your curry a delightful fresh flavor!
If you need to stretch your curry and don’t have any more coconut milk, use chicken stock. It will add the needed liquid without sacrificing flavor.
The perfect curry broth! I could slop this stuff up all day.
There is one thing I HATE about writing recipe posts. Only one thing that I HATE about these Wonton Shrimp Tacos…
You can’t taste it for yourself!
I can try to tell you how fresh and light these are. How the shrimp is perfectly spiced and the coconut coleslaw is sweet and smooth under the avacodo corn salsa that has the PERFECT amount of lime to counter those spicy shrimp. I can try to tell you how fast these make up (about 30 minutes for 24)… you really can’t believe it!
There just is no way to explain. None.
You have to try these.
These are a fast, easy, and beautiful appetizer that would be utterly fantastic for Game Day! The little cups are fashioned from pressing won ton wrappers into a greased cupcake pan, spraying them with cooking spray, and baking them for about 10 minutes. Cute, crunchy, and mini…perfect!
The shrimp is tossed with salt, lime, and hot sauce and placed into the oven along with the won ton wrappers. They only need about 5 minutes in the oven to cook up perfectly.
Note:
Sure, you can use already cooked shrimp. Simply toss them up in the same seasoning and set aside. I prefer to cook mine because I find the flavor is intensified and stronger. Don’t stress about it though, these are so good that using already cooked shrimp is JUST FINE.
Next up is the coconut coleslaw. And I know you are dreading this and worried about ingredient lists and time. STOP! It’s SO crazy simple you’ll be making it all the time for all the reasons you can think of!
Using coconut milk in place of traditional milk or cream makes this coleslaw MUCH kinder to many diets. Never mind the fresh and smooth flavor the coconut milk adds. Yeah, never mind that J.
Again with the worry. This avocado corn salsa is EASY!!! I don’t even use fresh tomatoes unless I really, really want to. A can of diced tomatoes works just fine.
Tip:
Because we are using frozen corn and diced tomatoes instead of fresh be sure to pick up the best version of both that you can. I like to grab the white and gold frozen corn and organic petite diced tomatoes.
Yes, you do have to dice a few avocados’, cilantro, and an onion. But that takes all of 10 minutes. This salsa is worth it!
With all of your ingredients put together it is simply a matter of combining them into the wonton cups. A pile of creamy coconut coleslaw on the bottom, top with fresh avocado corn salsa, and then press a spicy shrimp on the top. Delicious!!!
Tip:
If you like, go even further and drizzle a bit of sour cream, buffalo mayo, or another of your favorite taco sauces on top of the shrimp.
TIP:
These will stay fresh for many hours if kept cool. However, I recommend making the pieces separately and putting the cups together closer to the necessary time as possible. That will help keep the wonton cups crisp.
I personally think these would be a fantastic appetizer served alongside a Bloody Mary cocktail. Can you just imagine how gorgeous?
For the Game Day Party you are throwing for the guys…go ahead and sub out the fresh salsa with prepared salsa. Those guys won’t care. Serve them a wonton shrimp taco at the beer tasting table and you’ll be a hero!
We are talking all about sweet and decadent desserts this month in preparation for Valentine’s day coming up in not too long. I’m a firm believer in having one piece of AMAZING dessert once in a while instead of little bites more often. Our minimal lifestyle is all about having less so that we can have BETTER. Even in desserts.
This coconut date cheesecake recipe is heavenly! Although it’s a decadent and sweet dessert it is still packed with nutrients and vitamins. Hey, if you can use ingredients that are full of good stuff why on earth would you settle for packaged crap? Yeah, I thought it was a good question.
My crust is made up of ground nuts and dates instead of the traditional graham cracker butter concoction. This makes for a sweet, earthy, and rich crust that is packed full of flavor and the perfect place to add additional nutrients and vitamins.
I stick with the traditional mix of coconut and condensed milk for the coconut filling. It’s classic for a reason. Because… delicious!
I use this no-bake cream cheese filling for many, many recipes. It tops my no-bake cheesecakes, cinnamon rolls, carrot cakes, and even spice bars. It’s sweet, creamy, tart, rich, and the perfect silky texture for a multitude of purposes.
For this purpose, I cool the coconut/date layers before topping with the light and fresh cheesecake topping.
Invite a few friends over, bake up these bars, make some boozy coffee, and enjoy your life! A little dessert is good for the soul.
Coconut Date Cheesecake Bars
Date crust:
1 cup nuts (I recommend 1/2 cup walnuts and 1/2 cup almonds)
1/2 cup dates
Coconut Layer:
1 (14 oz) package sweetened coconut
1 can sweetened condensed milk
No-Bake Cheesecake Layer:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup honey
2 8 oz packages cream cheese
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Directions:
Finely chop the nuts and dates. (tip: this step is faster and easier using a food processor) Press the mixture into a greased 8 by 8 square pan.
Mix the coconut and sweetened condensed milk together. Pour 3/4 of the coconut mixture over the top of the date crust (reserve 1/4 of it) and gently press down.
Bake the coconut layer and date crust in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes. Cool (setting it in the freezer while working on the cheesecake filling is often more than enough time to cool).
Pour the remaining coconut mixture onto a parchment paper lined (a greased pan will also work) cookie sheet and press to about 1/4 inch thick. Bake in the 350 degree oven for 15 minutes or until lightly brown.
Cool, crumble, and save for the top of your bars.
Meanwhile, for the no-bake cheesecake filling beat the powdered sugar and cream cheese together until light and fluffy.
Add the honey, vanilla, and whipping cream.
Beat on high for 2 minutes.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled coconut and date layers and spread gently. Top with the crumbled coconut bits.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours prior to serving.
This is the most basic butternut soup recipe I know. I realize that for some it is too basic. But, you can always jazz it up if you like. I am a big believer, though, that when learning to cook you should know the basic recipe BEFORE the fancy pants one.
I don’t peel and dice the butternut squash. Instead, I have everything in one giant pot. gasp! .And…I have only 9 ingredients…that includes the salt! But, this is the truest, most simple Butternut Soup recipe I know. (If you have other great ones…shoot them my way!
Yummy yummy yummy! We serve ours with a dollop of sour cream and a bit of cheddar cheese. Okay, let me know when you have tried this!
If you all have some other fun variations on Butternut Soup, let me know! This family would eat it all year!
This DIY hair tool organizer post was created over 3 years ago (before the site’s name change). And it shows. I’ve updated much of it, added a video, and improved many of the pictures but many of the originals remain. This organizer is incredibly useful and practical for me and, I’m sure, for many of you, as well.
Start out with a board. You can use whatever type of board you have on hand just be sure that you’ve measured the space you have to hang it on the wall and that your board will fit. Also, make sure that all of your hair tools will fit into the space you would like them. You don’t want to do all this work to have a hair tool organizer that doesn’t work! It would be a good idea to lay out your hair tools and mark where you want them to be with a pencil. A little extra planning is always helpful!
You need a package of these…aluminum step flashing. I bought these when we lived in the middle of nowhere and found these at my local hardware store so they can’t be too hard to find. And it was I think $4.00 or something-inexpensive? You could also look where sheet metal is located at your home improvement store. I’m sure they have something similar. Or ask.
Now see how my board is a nice size for that flashing. Maybe you are scared because they don’t fit as nicely on your board? No biggie; they cut quite easily with your basic heavy duty scissors and can be attached easily with upholstery tacks. It works…really.
The upholstery tacks scratch the metal easily so be careful.
I have no idea what they call those things. I found them at the hardware store and knew they would be perfect. My guess is they hold pipes somehow.They come in various sizes.
I got 2 small ones for my small curling iron and straightener and 2 large ones for my large curling iron and blow dryer. These need to be screwed in with nice sturdy screws (that they come with) so that they can attach into the wood behind the metal.
Keep going up your board until you have this!
Note: After I put in each holder I double checked the placement of the hair tool before moving on to the next.
I covered the bare wood with Duct Tape to make it pretty! If you’re really smart, you could paint the wood before adding the flashing and screws. I wish I had done that and probably will, after the fact. sigh.
I have a surge protector just under the vanity this is over to have them all plugged into at once.
I can just turn it on and leave it in the holder.
That metal works great at keeping the heat from burning down my house! Now it is time to DIY a makeup organozer!
A reader kindly let us know that the clamps are called “pipe clamps”. Thanks!
Happy happy day, lovelies! Today I’m passing to you the recipe for my one-pot ( I use my worn-out dutch oven) sweet potato chili. This chili is a family favorite that makes it to the menu rotation at least twice a month. Mostly at the request of Katie, to be honest. That girl ADORES this chili recipe.
Truly, she can’t be blamed. This chili is sweet and spicy, warm and fresh, and chock full of nutrients that make your body feel taken care of. It also takes only a little over half an hour to make. Fast, fresh and simple. It reminds me of my grandma’s chili but with a fresh, new update. Kid’s love the mild sweetness of sweet potatoes (have you tried sweet potato fries? kids love them!) and YOU’ll love the nutrients of sweet potatoes.
I prefer to use grass-fed ground beef in this chili recipe; but I’ve successfully used ground turkey, chicken, chuck, and even gone meatless without losing any of the yummy flavors. Adjust this recipe to your families needs and tastes… it will still be delicious!
I serve this chili with sliced avocado, sour cream, and cilantro every time. In my opinion, the toppings are mandatory. The silky avocado, tangy sour cream, and flavorful cilantro are the PERFECT topping to this chili.
Tip:
Having a chili “topping bar” is the best way to get kids to gobble up any chili recipe. Make the basic recipe and set out bowls of toppings. They add their favorites and YOU don’t have to worry about picky eaters-score!
I’m a busy working mom, like many of you, and adore recipes that use real ingredients to create delicious, simple, and fast treats for my family. Although you have seen versions of a slow-cooker chocolate cake that use a cake mix and pudding mix, can I encourage you to try making this recipe instead? I would love you to take the extra few minutes to use real ingredients that you have touched and measured for yourself. This chocolate cake is ridiculously fast to make and will become a family favorite that you are happy to get in your crockpot before you head out to work, schedule it, and have it ready to be eaten after dinner or for your kids when they get home from school.
This chocolate cake is utter magic. Magic because it is utterly decadent and rich, magic because the frosting is created while the cake cooks in the same pan!, but magic mostly because this delectable cake is made in the slow-cooker!
I often question the practicalness of some slow-cooker recipes. Especially the ones that are for 3 hours and then done. Or for 2 hours and then you add something and cook for an additional 2 hours. Isn’t the idea of a slow cooker to allow you to set supper up to be cooking while you are working? Who the heck works 3-hour shifts? Eh, it must just be me that doesn’t see the value in 1400 Slow-Cooker Recipes.
(You are going to start to stir the batter and want to yell at me that something is wrong. There isn’t. The stuff is thick! Just stir it gently with a wooden spoon until the giant chunks are gone and call it a day. Put it into your greased slow-cooker and let the magic work. It works out, promise!)
This recipe I get. When I eat this cake with it’s built-in frosting I understand why slow-cooker recipes exist. In the 3 hours this cake is cooking, the frosting is cooking up too. It SELF FROSTS itself. No really…when you cut the cake, you automatically get frosting! BAM!
But is it good? I have had my share of slow-cooker recipes that I didn’t think were worth the trouble. They were only so-so. But this. THIS is mouth-watering! I use a couple of special ingredients to keep this cake rich, full of flavor, and lighter in calories. It isn’t light and fluffy like my homemade chocolate cake instead, it’s rich, fudge-y, and dark. THIS is the cake I use for ice cream sundaes, coffee dates, and regular appearances on the meal menu.
Stout.
Using a dark, rich alcohol like stout allows me to remove the milk from the cake recipe, quite a bit of the sugar, AND contributes a wonderful rich flavor to the cake. Using stout works fantastic for this slow-cooker recipe because the slow-cooking time allows that alcohol to foam and bubble to the top of the cake, mixing with the sugar and chocolate, and creating a delicious frosting.
Nutella.
Now, you can use peanut butter (this is better for the calorie count!), almond butter, or cookie butter in place of Nutella. However, for the richest and most decadent flavor, and when making this for your kids, use Nutella. Obviously :).
(Do NOT stir in your boiled stout topping. Simply pour it on top and leave. Really. It all works out.)
Some of the tools, apps, and companies that I use for my personal organization or for NellieBellie...
Shoot Fly Shoot | When I realized how necessary taking good photo’s was to the success of my site, this is the photo class I took and loved. I recommend this to everyone and still watch the video’s occasionally for refreshers.
CoSchedule | I use CoSchedule to keep my editorial calendar organized, help me see what content I need to create for the week, and schedule some of my social media messages. It also allows me to keep my team organized easily. Pomodoro Timer | On days that it is a struggle to stay on task, I employ this timer. Mine is set to 25-minute intervals. I find I can do anything for 25 minutes. And don’t mind telling others to wait that long for my attention. Day Designer | This is my personal planner that I have used for a couple of years. I also highly recommend Planner Pads | because of their wonderful funnel system that keeps distracted people focused! HostGator | Although I now use a much larger hosting company, I successfully used hostgator in the young years of NellieBellie and still recommend them for those starting blogs. They have good customer service and solid hosting. StudioPress Themes for WordPress | These are the WordPress themes that I have used almost exclusively for all of my blog development ( for the many years I did that) and for NellieBellie. They are clean, well designed, and full options. HostGator | This is the hosting company I used when I first started and still recommend for new and small blogs.
Personally, having a minimal lifestyle and capsule wardrobe have dramatically increased the free-time that I have. It has allowed me more time for work AND play. Although not everyone can make the choices we have…our story may give you ideas for small changes you can make to help you on your dream.
Working on a business, rather than a blog.
Everyone has a blog. Your grandma probably has a blog. Heck, MY grandma probably has a blog. Having a blog isn’t anything special. But, what you DO with your blog can be.
In my case, my blog was simply a way to show my talents and give me a platform from which to jump from. It allows me to create content for magazines, newspapers, e-books, developing cookbooks, speaking engagements, photography classes, and more. My blog is, in essence, a giant adjusting resume. It PROVES my expertise. Sure, I could keep adding and adding content to add to my expertise (and I do!), but for what? I need to DO something with gathered expertise. Expertise for the sake of expertise doesn’t further my future. Sure, more people coming to my site brings me additional ad income, that’s true. But ad income isn’t all it’s cracked up to be (ad income is becoming less and less a guaranteed source of income for websites) and certainly isn’t going to build me a long-lasting brand and career. I need more.
Waking up in the morning and treating NellieBellie as a business is what has allowed me to become successful in this creative space. I am a successful blogger, sure. But I am so much more. NellieBellie continues to morph and grow into other places then this single address on the internet. Places that produce even MORE opportunities to grow. Every opportunity brings a level of growth on a financial level, skill level, brand level, networking level, and more. Building a business is ultimately building NellieBellie into the future.
Sure, there are those that don’t want to make money or a career at blogging. I get it. I have a couple of things to say to that…
Don’t. Every person needs a hobby.
And a hobby is, by definition, something you don’t NEED to do to meet your financial needs. No need to explain.
Bloggers that make money are no longer bloggers.
Do NOT for one second think that those bloggers you see making money with their blog are spending a few minutes banging out a post, sticking it up on the internet, and sitting back while the bucks roll in. These people are business-minded individuals with mad skills. They are skilled entrepreneurs that have used their internet address to push their message and brand. They are content creators, magazine authors, book authors, web design specialists, social media marketers, and a million other skill-sets that are marketable to the business world at large. They have worked like crazy for every. single. inch of their success. For real.
I’m relieved.
It is really, really hard to make a career at blogging. Especially in the year 2015. The internet is so heavily saturated with new GOOD blogs that want a little piece of the pie they have been eyeing. Sadly, they will never see a dime. I’m asked often to help someone start a blog to help them make money. I tell them…only if you don’t want to make any significant profit for at least 2 years. That is why I’m so thankful that you DON’T want to make money at blogging. It’s dang hard. Especially if you start now. And I don’t want hard for my friends.
(my small office at move-in day)
Adopt business hours, business dress, and a business environment.
One of the biggest mistakes I made when I first realized the profitability of NellieBellie (remember, this was a couple of years ago…when blogs still had a chance at being something) was not creating honest to goodness work hours. And sticking to them. I kept telling people that one of the best parts of working as a blogger was the ability to stay in my pajamas and work from home. There are a couple problems with that statement, for me personally…
At that point in the journey of NellieBellie I was no longer just a “blogger” and should not have classified myself simply as that. Not that being a blogger is less than something else. But, it didn’t do justice to my work. I should have classified myself as a content creator. Or, at that time, website developer. Or even a social media strategist. But, I didn’t see any of those skills in myself at that time. Nevermind that I was building 5 websites a day…I didn’t see myself as a website developer. Nevermind that I was creating content FOR magazines and websites that never saw a moment on my site…I didn’t see myself as a content creator. I simply underestimated my value. And in so doing, allowed others to underestimate my value. Which didn’t allow me to grow as I should have. How can I become something I don’t believe I can?
Thinking that “staying in my pajamas” was something to strive for. Do you know how bad it is for your psyche not to develop a good morning routine? To dress well. To put on your “face” and otherwise be the best version of yourself you can be? Again, I was setting myself to be underestimated completely. By myself and by others. I was the very thing keeping myself from being the best. I was my own worst enemy.
Believing that “working from home” was the ultimate goal. I believed, at that time, that working from home was the ultimate in the measure of success. This came partly from my conservative upbringing and environmental culture that believed women working away from home was secondary to men doing so. Not intentionally, in any way. And I’m all for women staying home if they desire. In my case, I thought that working AND being at home was the ultimate in culture’s eyes. But I wasn’t truly working from home very well, it was utterly the worst thing for me. But, at that time, I knew what other’s view as success and didn’t realize it wasn’t my own measure of success. Now, I rent a small office space only minutes from home and physically go to work at least 3 days a week. GOING to work is something that I wasn’t raised to believe would ever be for me. Being able to do it feels amazing, successful, and SERIOUS.
Get off the internet!
This is utterly the WORST time killer. The worst!! Being a business that lives almost entirely on the internet, social media, and email spaces you would think that staying connected to all of those places is vital.
Exactly the opposite!
If you are a blogger that wants to create real, honest, genuine content you need to log-out and STAY logged-out for huge chunks of your productive hours. Otherwise, you are spending so much time distracted and connected to outside of your productive place that you don’t create content. Or if you do create content, it’s disjointed and less than it can be. You will waste away your opportunities online. Shut it down.
DO your business. LIVE your life. BE with people. From these places you will create your best and most authentic content. And your business will thrive.
Invest in your business.
Think of your blog as any brick and mortar business…it takes initial start-up investments. Sure, you can start a blog without a dollar invested but if you want it become successful you WILL have to invest some money and serious time. AND lots and lots of energy. Just like any start-up. Thinking that a successful blog doesn’t require that is utterly wrong.
Ask any successful blogger how much time and money they have spent to get where they are? How much did they spend before they turned a profit? They will all do this…
Laugh. Make a joke about how stupid they were and how patient their husbands were. And then tell you it was hours and hours (they really don’t know how many… it was so many) and hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
Just like a true start-up.
Then. Then– when you DO get your successful blog up and running you have to CONTINUE to invest. You will have to pay to automate, hire help, maintain your site, pay for advertising, the list continues. Not doing those things isn’t an option if you want to simply maintain the level you are at. To grow? You got it…you have to spend MORE money, time, and energy.
Just like any brick and mortar business.
Do you get where I am going with this? A successful blog IS a business. Not “kind of like”. It IS absolutely and completely a business. With taxes and accounting and all.
Not treating it as such is a complete and utter mistake and recipe for failure. 100% guaranteed.
Take yourself seriously and force others to do the same.
I’ve touched on this in the other points but I need to stress, stress, stress the need to take yourself seriously. If you don’t see yourself as a business person full of skills that are valuable to the business world…start! The minute you take yourself and your brand seriously forcing those around you to do the same, things will move.
Realize that your time is valuable. Force your family to recognize your business hours. Try to say no to friends that ask for favors during business hours. Turn off your phone, if necessary. These habits will take time to develop, especially if you don’t have any of these habits already developed. Just start. Get up in the morning and put on your power outfit, turn on some inspirational music, head to your desk (or office…if you can!), shut the door, shut off your phone and notifications, and work.
If you have never tried a Moscow Mule…it’s quite manly. When I say manly I mean…it packs a bit of a kick. That, I assume, is from the vodka. Or the ginger beer. So, our version mellows it out just a bit. Adding cranberry juice and a wee bit of sugar takes the manly away and makes it just…man?
I am so very happy it’s New Year’s Eve! That means the holidays are just about over. Not that I don’t love them….I really do. But after about a week of friends, family, parties, and my children being at home, I am ready to get back to the start of work. Maybe that’s just because my job is fun. But either way, too much vacation is enough to make a person insane. Or need a cocktail. A strong one. Like a Moscow Mule cocktail. Well, truly…we are calling it a Moscow Unicorn because it has been girlified for my “dignified” tastes.
If you have never tried a Moscow Mule…it’s quite manly. When I say manly I mean…it packs a bit of a kick. That, I assume, is from the vodka. Or the ginger beer. So, my sister’s version mellows it out just a bit. Adding cranberry juice and a wee bit of sugar takes the manly away and makes it just…man? Um, okay, that’s strange. Either way, Moscow Mules are way more delicious when we take away the “mule” and insert “unicorn”. You need to try this drink! So simple and good. Just like our favorite cocktails should be.
We really love that the moscow mule uses only one type of alcohol, which makes the run to the liquor store much less expensive. And the fact that it doesn’t need a shaker or any fancy cocktail tools is definitely a bonus!
This is a great drink to have for your New Year’s party because it is so easily adaptable. It can be as strong or as weak as you like, and it can easily be made virgin for kids who might be at the party. Just add this gentle drink in among your traditional, stronger cocktails and everyone will be excited to try it!
Maybe you aren’t into drinks with alcohol? That’s okay. No judgement. If you love ginger, try my ginger tea…guaranteed love! Or good old hot chocolate is always a winner! And we have quite an extensive list of coffee drinks you can make without needing a fancy espresso machine or anything.
Learn how to make a drink umbrella with this easy tutorial! Super easy and fun addition to your next party!
I have a dream. A dream of warmth, pretty cocktails, cabana boys, and lying about. In my dream, all of my cocktails –every single one- come with a cocktail umbrella. Probably a pink one. And delivered by a cabana boy whilst I lay in the warmth and chat with Nate. I don’t hear children in this dream. I don’t see dirty dishes or bills (nope, this dream is paid for) or grass that needs mowing.
Today I have an itty bitty part of my dream fulfilled…
Supplies for cocktail umbrella:
paper
scissors
wooden skewers
hot glue
tinsel garland (optional)
To Do:
Cut paper into circles about 3 inches in diameter (I used a mason jar as a guide)
Cut a slit into the circle up to the center of the circle.
Form the cocktail umbrella from the circle. Hot glue into place.
(I cut my skewers in half but use the size you prefer!) Hot glue the umbrellas onto the skewers.
For extra fun…cut up a bit of tinsel garland. Put a dab of hot glue on the top of your umbrella and dip it into the tinsel.
Now you too can have a dream worthy cocktail umbrella for your cocktail! Cheers!
Now you know how to make your own drink umbrella’s! Make a stash for New Year’s or parties and keep them in a drawer. Drinks are always better with an umbrella…wouldn’t you agree? Why not check out our great cocktail collection and include pretty umbrella’s for the glasses? Fun!
