Champagne Margaritas

September 28, 2016

Yesterday we celebrated our second wedding anniversary! And what better cocktail to celebrate with, than these Champagne Margaritas? Fatima and I met eight years ago when we were students at Hofstra University. The rest is history. And here we are celebrating a wedding anniversary! I can’t believe how fast these last two years have flown by since our wedding. In our photos, we used a souvenir margarita glass we got while on…

Cold Brew Coffee At Home

August 24, 2016

This heat wave drove us to drink. Cold brew coffee that is. Our mornings typically start around 7:30 a.m. with a cup of coffee, oatmeal or cereal, and The Today Show. While we always see Jill’s Steals and Deals, we’ve never had an urge to buy any of her steals. It wasn’t until the Primula Cold Brew Coffee Maker Carafe and Primula Cold Brew Travel Bottle combination deal that I felt like I needed…

Frozen Pineapple Margarita

July 13, 2016

It seems as though the pineapple is the new owl. So we decided to add a new flavor to the Marquisrita lineup. We made a frozen Pineapple Margarita! Don’t you love our gold pineapple tumblers? We’ve had quite the heat wave here in the city over the last week. As usual the 6 train has been awful. We’ve been waiting on a hot subway platform for more time than one…

Margarita On the Rocks (aka Marquisrita)

June 22, 2016

A few weeks ago, my mother, Fatima and I were sitting on my parent’s lake house deck in the hot, humid New Hampshire air, wondering what drink we could make to cool us off; it was 5 o’clock. We all had one drink in mind: a margarita on the rocks. Lilies and Loafers has affiliate relationships, so we may get a small share of revenue from your purchases. Items are…

Apple Cider Spiced Sangria

November 30, 2015

An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right? Would a cup of Apple Cider Spiced Sangria do the same? Boy, do we love apples. In the fall, I could make and eat apple pie ever week if I could. Sangria is a lovely creation. Summer parties, Halloween, and even the winter, sangria can be made to please your guests all times of the year, for any occasion. The recipe below…

Immunity Smoothie

August 10, 2015

When I’m on the subway or walking to work, I cringe when I see people cough without covering their mouth. It’s gross. And if they’re sick, then I’m being exposed to their germs. Summer colds are the worst. Travel colds? Move over. As this post launches, we’re currently in the air on our way to Cabo. For the last few weeks, we’ve been drinking an immunity boosting smoothie to keep our…

Cucumber Lemon Detox

Looking for a natural, refreshing detox? Did you endure the 7 Day Cleanse I blogged about? In an effort to find a safe, natural detox, we tried out a popular Cucumber Lemon Detox on Pinterest. This is not a crazy crash diet, so make sure you eat normally 😉 The original recipe called for 2 lemons, half a cucumber, and 10 mint leaves in 3 quarts of water. We made each…

Fatty’s Summer Sangria

June 17, 2013

I love white wine. It’s probably the only alcoholic drink – besides Brian’s Marquisritas – I know I’ll love when I go out. That’s why when Brian said we would post these summer recipes, I knew I had to get a white wine sangria on the list. And that’s where Fatty’s Summer Sangria came into play. What’s great about Fatty’s Summer Sangria is you can use any white wine you’d…

How about a Boozy Smoothie?? It’s very simple and easy to make; fruit, yogurt, and your favorite, cheap bottle of wine. I say “cheap” because the wine will be mixed into the…
