Spring has Sprung - Yum
This time of year (especially in Buffalo) calls for celebration. It’s time to drink to the flowers, the budding trees, the dog walking, the rollerblading, and the people watching. It sunny, warm, breezy and the perfect weather for spring cocktails on the porch.
Here are a few of my favorite springtime recipes to get you in the mood:
