Saturday we continued with our chocolate binge with Mint Chocolate Smoothies. We took our little guy out to a pumpkin patch and autumn under the California sun just isn’t the same as your typical fall visit to the pumpkin patch. It must have been in the eighties out there. Some cool minty smoothies hit the…
Day 24 – Indoor S’mores – For Adults
Friday was time for some fun. InterCourses includes S’mores as one of the recipes. Late in the evening we settled down to gram crackers, chocolate, and hot toasted marshmallows. We set it all up on the coffee table with a few tealights and enjoyed ourselves while we watched a movie. It was fun, we felt…
Day 23 – Cabernet-Sauvignon Ice
Last night we treated ourselves to an elegant wine desert or shall I say adult slushy. Cabernet-Sauvignon Ice is probably one of InterCourses’ more elegant and romantic recipes.

Day 19 – Lemongrass Infused Tangerine Mimosa
Sunday we woke up to mimosas. What better way to start a lazy Sunday and perhaps a little something in bed as well. I ensured a little zing in these mimosas by using the recipe from Romancing the Stove for Lemongrass Infused Tangerine Mimosas. Process I prepared a head of time by making the Lemongrass…
Day 18 – Chipotle Mac
Saturday night we had a hearty home style meal of macaroni and cheese that was ever so elegant. I served Chipotle Mac from InterCourses. This is one heat packed dish, but so simple to make. Once again I discovered simple ingredients that are combined together to pack a punch with flavor. Process The method is…
