Whiskey + Aprons

We can feel spring approaching and are happy to say sayonara to this frigid weather. The warmer days get us excited for lighter dishes, summer vegetables, fresh fish and dining al fresco. Last weekend we decided to venture out to our local Stew Leonard's . For those of you who have never visited a Stew's, its a grocery store chain that offers baked goods, fresh meats and fish and many other specialty items. John and I love getting our fish from there when we can and they typically have really good sales. We decided to buy some shrimp for our W+A live cooking show this past Friday and it turned out to be a great choice. I knew I wanted to make something a bit light, but fulfilling at the same time, so shrimp fri diavolo over linguine it was! Its a great dish to prepare if you are having a dinner party or to impress that special someone. Here's everything you'll need.   Ingredients: 1lb shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 tsp salt 3 tbsp crushed red pepper fl

Happy Monday and first day of spring, friends! Sorry our recipes are coming to you a bit late, but the weekend was filled with lots of cooking, eating and shopping. John and I got cracking on a new outdoor set for the summer. This warm weather got us in the mood to start a little bit of an outdoor revamp and got me thinking about what I would like to start planting this summer. Our backyard is tiered off, so we have some nice space for a decent sized garden. Let us know what you guys plan to plant as the spring weather approaches. We wanted to dedicate this post to everyone who tuned into our live cooking show this past Friday. We couldn't thank you guys enough for watching and spending your Friday night hanging in our kitchen :). As of today, we have 600 views on our video, which is pretty damn cool! Over the weekend, Whiskey + Aprons also became a proud member of the FoodieTribe which is a group of about 800 foodies around the world dedicated to supporting their local communit

I was sent a reminder that on this day two years ago, this little blog was born. Although life sometimes gets in the way of me keeping up on my blogging and frequent posting (a New Year's resolution I've been been trying to stay committed to) I post on W+A's Instagram account all day everyday. From new restaurant finds to cooking something new up in our kitchen or mixing up a new cocktail, we always have food on the brain. We'll be doing a little celebrating tonight with some wine, homemade stuffed Italian peppers and one of our favorite caramel chocolate dipped gourmet apples from the Candy Apple Shoppe . Stay tuned for a little announcement later in the week too. We may just be cooking live, very very soon ;) Thank you all for continuing to follow Whiskey + Aprons over these past two years! We appreciate all of the support, follows + likes :) Love, M+J
