We’re always of the opinion that a road trip itinerary is a good idea. This road trip from Los Angeles to Austin takes 5 days time and is well worth every mile.
The holiday cocktail that will win all the awards? The Ciderhouse Pear Cocktail recipe from Saveur but made pear flavored with the addition of pear juice and pear liqueur.
We’re of the opinion that homemade is better, even when it comes to snacks. And when it comes to snacks, soft pretzels are pretty high on the totem pole. This Pretzel Bites with Cheddar Beer Sauce recipe couldn’t be easier – take pizza dough (store bought or your fave recipes) – dunk them in a mix that give it that distinct taste and there you have it. Oh, and obviously they’re paired with a cheese sauce. And obviously, our take on that is a beer cheese sauce. Only thing missing is a tailgate.
Making it through a long-haul flight is never easy, especially if you’re flying economy. Here are our 8 best travel hacks for long flights.
Oh my Avocado! There are many ways to make guacamole, but nothing can beat the simplicity of this The Simplest Most Classic Guacamole recipe.
Can we all agree on something? We travel for food first and foremost. Sure, the sites, resorts, beaches, and people are just as amazing but, if you’re like me, you travel to taste a place. I mean, that’s why you’re here on Salt & Wind, right? Because, like us, you’re always in search of the best meal a place has to offer and how to recreate it back home.
The Kentucky Derby is all about big hats and Juleps but I’ve just never been convinced about that cocktail (big hats, on the other hand, yes), so I tweaked the Moscow Mule, to make it Derby worthy in this perfect Derby Day cocktail with bourbon and tons of mint. So in this year’s Kentucky Derby I will be sipping on this Kentucky Mule Cocktail recipe instead, don’t mind me.
Food and travel are two of the greatest loves in life, which is pretty fitting considering that my day job is owning an independent travel bookstore. Not that I need an excuse to get on the road, but this year I’ve made a food travel reading list to give me even more motivation.
If you’re not sure where to start with green smoothies, start with this Strawberry Kale Banana Smoothie Recipe. It’s a little sweet, totally filling, and has a subtle green flavor.
We could all use a little more Mexico in our lives. Its bold colors, warm hospitality, and lilting breezes, and the food… let us not forget about the comforting complexity that is Mexican food. So, I took a vacation with my family down in Los Cabos, Mexico. Though I’d like to say I ate healthy, I more or less acted like a sloth. But if I were being healthy? I would have eaten something like this salad, it has all the flavors of Mexico toasted and roasted and tossed together, it reminds me of what I had while on vacation, and that is why I called it the Los Cabos Mexican Summer Salad recipe.
