Kim's No Worries Sweet Libation

I have known the Wadsworths since I was a tot (the W boys and I grew up together). Mama W, Kim, is an excellent cook, editor, make-up artist, stylist, and a BLONDE. I have been helping her with her magazine (VOW Bride) this fall and have learned SO SO much from her. If you noticed I am dressing better and looking less disheveled, she is the reason for the season.

Here are some of her prized kitchen tips:

• Read a recipe from beginning to end. If there is anything that feels overwhelming, don't attempt it for a party. Things don’t have to be complicated to be good and you don’t have to have expensive ingredients to impress..
• Prepare ahead. Do everything possible ahead of time. This includes setting the table!
• Food can be styled just like fashion. There is nothing like a little embellishment to achieve that extra wow factor. Get creative with your plating and accessories (flowers, sparkle, etc.)
• Never be afraid to ask for the recipe! A confident chef will always share their recipes.

Start any evening with an amazing liquid treat....
