0.1%ABV Non Alcoholic The summer days are wild ov 0.1%ABV Non Alcoholic

The summer days are wild over here, and I have found the perfect way to unwind. @motherroot is my go-to for unwinding at the end of a chaotic day. It is the perfect non-alcoholic alternative and only contains 4 natural ingredients: apple cider vinegar, ginger, honey and chili for that tiny bit of heat 🔥

My Louisiana Summer Wind Down drink includes Mother Root, Soda, a splash of orange juice, a rosemary sprig and an orange slice. Soo good! 

If you are looking for a way to wind down the day without all the side effects of an alcoholic drink, check out Mother Root. I am glad I realized what all the hype was about 🫶🏻🙌🏻🫚

Don’t forget to use my code : Clair100 at checkout!

Looking for those perfect on-the-go pieces? @anrab Looking for those perfect on-the-go pieces? @anrabess.us has exactly what you need! No lie, I get nervous when it comes to ordering sets. This set y’all…so good! Stretch, comfy, lightweight- 3 words that I like to hear. Plus, both pieces are TTS.

Now about those linen pants. I feel like I’m always looking for a good pair that will actually function in this Louisiana heat. These are just the right match for the heat and humidity. Light weight yet high quality. Can’t see through them like a lot of linen blend pants, and they are actually comfortable. Head to my bio for the link 🫶🏻

A spicy pasta recipe that is so good! Maddy DeVita A spicy pasta recipe that is so good! Maddy DeVita knew what she was doing with this Spicy Tomato Tagliatelle as did @seventhgeneration with their Clementine Zest & Lemongrass Dish Soap, 95% Biobased Formula. It helps tackle grease WITHOUT all the extra effort. Giving more time to delicious meals and family time and not extra when it comes to cleaning! 

What you need:
1/2 pound egg tagliatelle
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more if you’re feeling bold)
4 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup finely grated parm, plus more for topping Kosher salt, as needed

What you do:
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil (don’t be shy - this is your pasta’s only chance to season itself properly). Cook the tagliatelle until 1 or 2 minutes shy of al dente, following package instructions.
• While the pasta cooks, warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and let them gently sizzle until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
Remember, as Nonna would say, “DON’T let the garlic burn!”
• Add the tomato paste to the skillet. Break it up into the oil and fry for about 2 minutes until it deepens in color and gets a little caramelized- this step is key for building the rich flavor of our sauce, don’t skipl
• Add a ladle of pasta water to the skillet and whisk, scraping up any caramelized bits, until a smooth sauce forms.
When the pasta is 1 or 2 minutes shy of al dente, use tongs to transfer the pasta straight from the pot. Toss over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, adding more pasta water as needed, until the pasta has finished cooking and the sauce has thickened up around the pasta.
• Turn off the heat, then stir in the parm until it melts into the sauce like it belongs there (because it does).
• Serve immediately. Try not to eat it straight from the pan... but no promises.

Enjoy 😘
