CHEERS TO AUTUMN WITH OUR TGIF (THANK GOODNESS IT’S FALL) -TINI

It’s been a long, hot summer, but cooler weather is just around the corner! The meteorological start to autumn is later this week on Sept. 1, and Labor Day, the unofficial end of summer, is one week from today.

Celebrate with our TGIF (Thank Goodness It’s Fall) - Tini! It’s a delicious mix of apple cider, spiced rum, cinnamon whiskey, and caramel syrup served in a martini glass. Cinnamon-sugar garnishes the drink.

Here’s how I make it:

BON APPETIT TO AUTUMN, TOO! CELEBRATE WITH OUR APPLE PIE TACOS

One of the hallmarks of autumn are crisp apples. Fitting, since Virginia is a large apple-growing state. Apples can be enjoyed in a number of ways, including eating out of hand, in a cobbler, and in a taco. In a taco? Yes, in our Apple Pie Tacos. These delish small bites are great for a snack, party, or dessert. They are quick and easy to prepare.

Here’s how I make them:

EAT, DRINK + DO: Raise a fork to National Breakfast Month in September

They say it’s the most important meal of the day. It’s breakfast, a time to get fueled up for what lays ahead. And while many times it’s a day where you have to grab-and-go with something easy and quick, there are other days where you can ease into the morning with a sit down breakfast that makes you stand and take notice.

September is National Breakfast Month, a great time to indulge a bit with the first meal. We love doing just that from time-to-time. There’s a simplicity to breakfast that doesn’t always come at brunch, and that’s fine in our books. Are you looking for a new breakfast favorite?

Here’s a baker’s dozen of dishes that stand out across Coastal Virginia:

Chesapeake

Norfolk

Virginia Beach

Williamsburg
