{Katie’s Kitchen} Strawberry Mint Sangria
Brought to you by Catoctin Mountain Orchard.
It’s strawberry season!! Recently my daughter and I went and picked strawberries, we made a delicious strawberry cake, so with the leftover strawberries that I had, I made sangria!
It’s super easy and taste delicious on a hot summer day!
Start out chopping your strawberries into smaller pieces (I quartered them). Add them to the bottom of your pitcher.
Add a handful of mint to the pitcher, then 3 tbsp. of sugar.
Next, Squeeze half a lemon into the pitcher and add 1/2 cup of club soda.
Then, pour in 2 bottles of your favorite Rose wine. Add lemon slices on top to garnish.
Serve with a strawberry on the side of your glass and enjoy!
Ingredients:
-2-3 cups Strawberries chopped
-3 tbsp. sugar
-1/2 cup of club soday
-2 bottles Rose wine
-1 cup of mint leaves
-1 lemon

This home town distillery went above and beyond and made and provided free of charge Gallons and gallons of hand sanitizer and distributed to any health care facility that requested it. During the time of no hand sanitizer to be found,they stepped up and didn’t worry about profits, but worried about keeping their community safe.

{Katie’s Kitchen} Soft Peanut Butter Cookies
Brought to you by Catoctin Mountain Orchard.
It’s National Peanut Butter Cookie Day!
I haven’t made peanut butter cookies in a while…so I HAD TO!! 😉
This is an easy, one mixing bowl recipe. I recommend using a hand mixer or stand mixer for this recipe.
Grab a darker, non-stick pan and set aside. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
Start out with 1 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter(room temperature), and 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter in your mixer and mix until smooth.
Add sugars and beat on high speed until light and fluffy – 2-3 minutes.
Add eggs and vanilla and beat on low speed until combined.
Add flour, baking soda and salt and beat on low speed just until cookie dough comes together.
Line your baking sheet(s) with parchment paper.
Roll into 1″ balls and place 2″ apart on baking sheets. Then, press down slightly with fork.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove and let cool on baking sheets before storing.
YUM!!
