I've never met a sangria I didn't like, and this blushing variation with Rosé and raspberries is absolutely delightful. It's the ideal sort of drink to enjoy with salty nibbles while watching a late Summer sunset. Some tips: Be sure to make in advance, as this will give the ingredients time to meld. Don't skip the creme de cassis; it really develops the flavor of the berries and Rosé. Ask your local wine shop owner for the driest Rosé, otherwise the sangria will end up too sweet. You'll love sipping this pretty pink concoction, so get the recipe after the jump.

A long time ago, I was watching Martha Stewart, and she mentioned that her favorite ice cream was buttermilk flavored. For some reason, I've always remembered this, and when I purchased an ice cream maker, I was determined to make it. However, I got distracted by more glamorous flavors, strawberry, mint chip, vanilla bean, and only recently remembered my desire to try Martha's buttermilk ice cream.

Boy, does Martha know what she is talking about: this was one of the best ice creams I've ever tasted. It's creamy, but sorbet-like, tangy, and rich. One guest described it like frozen pound cake. Another simply could not stop mmm-ing. And me? I'm still dreaming of this lusciously wonderful ice cream. Although you need an ice cream maker, the recipe is shockingly easy.

One of the best dinners I've had in a long time, courtesy of my husband: fresh, homemade fettuccine topped with early girl tomatoes from the farmers market, garlic, olive oil, fresh basil, and shaved parm. So simple, and so insanely good!

Worried about a week's worth of overindulgence? Then a light, healthy fish dinner may be just the ticket. Budget-friendly tilapia is versatile enough to be delicious in tostadas or soup, or even crusted and fried, but in this simple dish it takes center stage. A quick glaze of Chinese five-spice, soy sauce, and brown sugar gives it a flavorful kick. The added bonus? It can be made in 15 minutes!
