What Makes A Good Drink Better? Vodka!


Coming from a big family that always seemed to have guests over, I cooked meals that could feed a herd. So when Gabe and I moved into our new apartment I realized I'd be cooking for just the two of us and I really needed to cut my recipes way down. So this page is dedicated to all my recipes.
Tonight I decided to make a special drink just for kicks, and it turned out to be a huge hit!
