recipe: white wine sangria

1 bottle of chardonnay
1/2 cup triple sec
1/4 cup brandy
1-1/2 cups club soda
1/8 cup sugar
slices of oranges, lemons, limes and green grapes

Mix and chill everything—except the club soda—an hour before serving.
Serve over ice and add club soda right before serving—or put on the side to top off.

hint: Reserve some fruit to garnish and drink carefully—it goes down like fruit juice especially when it’s blazing hot!

recipe: quick eggs

eggs
butter (we love Kerrygold!)
salt and pepper

Place a small pat of butter in a porcelain silo mug—it adds flavor and keeps the egg from sticking to the mug.

Drop in one egg, cover with a microwave cover or paper towel since they can pop, and microwave for 35-40 seconds.

Salt and pepper to taste and enjoy quickly—they’re pretty much gone in two-bites!

hint: Every microwave is different so it may be a few seconds more or less. Increase time for more than one egg or mug.
