Big News! If you’ve been wondering why we have been MIA the past few months it’s because Amy is moving to Kentucky 😱🤗😭😫😄 (as you can see I have mixed emotions on the subject).

We have some exciting things planned and ready to go this fall, but for now Amy will be getting settled into her new house in a new state. So stay tuned! 🧡🧡

🧡One of the many things my Grandma has taught me is that if you are going to drink gin don't skimp, get the good stuff. So when I first tried Breckenridge Distillery Gin my first thought was "Gma will love this!" Then of course my second thought was 🤔"What can I bake using gin??" And 🍑Peaches & Cream 🍑was the answer. Sweet Biscuits, Homemade Whipped Cream, and Peach (with gin!) Sauce make a perfect sweet spring-time treat. Don't have fresh peaches? No worries the frozen kind work great too!P.S. Some of the other things Gma has taught me--*Trust your instincts as parent, there is a reason you have them.*Put your jewelry in the same place every night, so you don't end up loosing it.*The only reason to eat dinner is to get to the dessert. ...#breckdistillery #breck #ginlover #dogmotherginlover #ginandtonic #g&t #peachesandcream #palisadepeaches #sweetbiscuit #peachshortcake #strawberryshortcake #springtime #lightdessert #springdessert #summertreat #bbqdessert #easydessert #teaparty #drinkandbake
