Dinner in Kelowna

A non-alcoholic mixed drink (also known as virgin cocktail, temperance drink, "zero proof" drink[citation needed] or mocktail) is a cocktail-style beverage made without alcohol.

Non-alcoholic mixed drinks date back to when cocktails emerged, appearing as "temperance drinks" in the first American cocktail books, including Jerry Thomas's Bar-Tenders Guide (1862). Merriam-Webster cites the first mention of "mocktail" as appearing in 1916.

While the name of the non-alcoholic drink, as well as its style, has evolved over time, it is often a reflection of cocktail culture at large. The 1980s saw the resurgence of a mocktail movement with often sugary drinks. Following the sophistication of cocktail culture of the 2000s, the zero proof drink also became more refined.

In the 2000s, non-alcoholic drinks became popular enough to find their place on cocktail menus in many restaurants and bars, especially temperance bars. According to Mintel, alcohol-free mixed drinks grew 35% as a beverage type on the menus of bars and restaurants from 2016 to 2019 in the US. In 2019, "The Providence Journal" reported that there were at least 4 bars in New York City that served mocktails only.

Zero proof drinks can be made in the style of classic cocktails, like a non-alcoholic gimlet, or can represent a new style of drink altogether. The popularity of drinking abstinence programs like Dry January, coinciding with the rise of the health and wellness culture has pushed non-alcoholic drinks to wider acceptance. Like the vegetarian food movement or the popularity of oat milk, zero proof drinks are now seen as valid choices for all types of drinkers.

This Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake is a specialty at Ted’s Montana Grill…and now you can make it at home! Vanilla ice cream, bourbon and caramel; it’s amazing! I am occasionally the lucky recipient of an invitation to visit a local restaurant and try some of their menu items, and most recently a visit included this amazing Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake. Obviously not at all in the same way a food critic would sample dishes but as a guest. Their hopes are that I will enjoy a meal and share it with my readers and my sincere hope is that I will too. It does seem the cards in the deck are stacked in their favor, after all they know why I am there so of course they pull out all the stops; does make you wonder if it’s a fair representation of what a diner could expect right? Want to save this recipe? Enter your email & I’ll send it to your inbox. Plus, get great new recipes from me every week! My most recent invitation was to visit one of Ted Turner’s restaurants aptly named Ted’s Montana Grill which has several locations in the Denver metro area. This would be fun and easy…my kids took me there for my birthday and we loved it! While the memory of the Canyon Creek Burger had me over the moon, I knew as soon as I took a sip of dessert that it would be the one recipe I would beg the establishment for. I decry the use of the word swoon used so often by people that it has lost any meaning but in this case, this simple dessert was absolutely swoon-worthy. Exactly how I felt when I first sipped this Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake! I fondly remember that first time I went to a Ted’s Montana Grill. They had just recently opened their establishment on Larimer Square in downtown Denver. My girls wanted to take me there so it was a big night out for us. Larimer Square is a charming, bustling block in the heart of Denver; the ever present overhead twinkling lights add an extra element of gaiety and the fact that my birthday is two weeks before Christmas meant things were really popping. Funny I don’t recall what I had that night but I will never forget what my daughter Lauren ordered and is still her favorite, the Kitchen Sink burger which includes American cheese, ham, bacon, grilled onions, mushrooms and a fried egg. The name is clearly perfect. Since that night, they have opened a couple of other locations and I chose to go to one closer to me in my old stomping grounds of Greenwood Village in the Landmark Shopping Center. Good call…loved the proprietor and staff. I had invited a friend to join me and Rajean decided to order the St. Phillip’s Island Crab Cakes which boasted a Southwestern seasoning, guacamole, roasted asparagus and kale salad. I am a big fan of seafood and was sorely tempted to follow her lead. I had a certain ping of envy but that was silly; we’re all about sharing! I remembered Lauren’s love of their burger so I went that direction and chose one that was a bit unique and seriously the PERFECT choice for me. The Canyon Creek Burger includes Cheddar cheese, bacon, jalapeno, blackberry jam and a fried egg. I buy a local jam that is blackberry with serrano peppers and I simply love that sweet/hot combination so felt good with this choice and I was not wrong. The burger I enjoyed on my birthday was bison, so this time around I opted for beef. Juicy enough that I had to remain watchful and not embarrass myself with rivers of deliciousness running down my shirt and a flavor combination that was everything I had hoped for. I thought this was really the Kitchen Sink and more. So much more that I could barely make it through half even after sharing some with Rajean. The proprietor at this location was great. Not just attentive but warm and friendly too. He shared some of his personal path towards ending up at Ted’s and his enthusiasm for the company was palpable. He told us how involved Mr. Turner is with the business and that ‘Aunt Fannie’s’ Squash Casserole is really and truly his aunt’s dish. Rajean wasn’t sure she had ever had a squash casserole before and within minutes a sample appeared for her to try. A short story about how they hand cut and make all of their onion rings daily and again, magically, a plate appeared for us to try. My kind of rings; onions tender enough to bite through and a crispy seasoned crust to die for. Dipped in some of their horseradish sauce? Heaven. We were full and content and I believe I might have even inquired about a cot when Kyle asked if we would like some dessert. Oh how I love dessert but we were so full we couldn’t so of course we did. You know just not to be rude. 🙂 Highly recommended was their Strawberry Shortcake, delivered in a tall stack with house made drop biscuits, vanilla ice cream, fresh strawberry sauce and whipped cream. It reminded me of what I make for my family with the drop biscuits and the truth is it was enough for a family on that one plate! Loved it. It really was enough for a crowd and we were full so…oh shoot who am I kidding? We ate it all. Good thing we were sharing BUT, but, but…nothing prepared me for the Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake listed under ‘Adult Shakes.’ Oh my. Simple too…which is why I requested (OK, begged) for the recipe. Please, please, please??? No secret I love using bourbon in desserts but often there is just the slight hint. This was no hint. This was a for real bourbon kick. Rajean and I are adults but I think there might have been a bit of ‘no it’s MINE’ going on…it really was heavenly. I had already imagined including this Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake in these pages and have been anxious to share but well, the Kentucky Derby really does require a Mint Julep so patience was required. Now the day is here, the Derby will be run in a couple of hours and I can publish this amazingly delicious mixture of simple ingredients. Easy to make too. OK, maybe you won’t have your own milkshake machine (yay for garage sales!) but a blender will do nicely. While I did make my own caramel sauce (and added 2 tablespoons of bourbon to it) you do not have to and sometimes I don’t either. Just buy a good brand at the grocery store; I’ve used this Ghirardelli Salted Caramel Sauce and it’s good! Do try making your whipped cream using brown sugar; it’s great with the bourbon. Ted’s Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake features Jack Daniel’s whiskey but I used my favorite everyday bourbon, Makers Mark. As long as you include some good vanilla bean ice cream and caramel the spirit is up to you. Still, the real bottom line? You must try this. I saved some for Amy, my neighbor across the street. She of the, ‘not sure I love bourbon’ type? Well in less than a week I’ve got her loving Mint Juleps and this shake….how do you like bourbon now my dear?? If you’re in Denver and close to the Tech Center?

Fresh Tomato Day

Fresh Tomato Day is celebrated on April 6, as a day to appreciate the beauty of fresh tomatoes. Tomatoes are plants that are grown in temperate and tropical regions of the world and are a significant source of umami flavor. They are typically consumed raw or cooked. It is common to find that numerous varieties of the tomato plant are widely grown in temperate climates across the world, with purpose-built greenhouses aiding the production of tomatoes throughout all the seasons of the year. Tomato plants typically grow between three and 10 feet in height, with vines and a weak sprawling stem.

History of Fresh Tomato Day

The tomato is said to have descended or evolved from the “Solanum pimpinellifolium,” which is also known as the currant tomato or wild tomato, native to western South America. These wild tomatoes were smaller than the tomatoes we have in today’s times and they were usually about the size of peas. The domestication, so to speak, of tomatoes, traces back to the Aztecs and other Mesoamerican peoples, who used the fruit fresh and employed its use for cooking. Tomatoes came into Europe through the Spanish, and they became a very regular feature of Spanish food. In other European countries such as France, Italy, and others to the North of Europe, the tomato was initially grown as an ornamental plant, like flowers.

The tomato was met with skepticism as a type of food based on the fact that it was thought to be nightshade by botanists. This skepticism and suspicion were compounded by the acidity of the tomato juice. The tomato was even nicknamed the “poison apple,” because it was believed that it caused aristocrats to get sick and die after eating them. The possible reason for these reactions was that wealthy Europeans of that time, used pewter plates, which were rich in lead, and because tomatoes are so high in acidity, the fruit would leach lead from the plate upon coming in contact with it, eventually leading to led poisoning and eventually death.

Limited knowledge made it impossible for anyone at the time to connect the dots between plate and poison at the time and so the easier alternative was to blame the tomato. The leaves of the tomato and its immature fruit contain tomatin, which could be toxic in large amounts. However, the ripe tomato fruit does not contain tomatin.

This Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake is a specialty at Ted’s Montana Grill…and now you can make it at home! Vanilla ice cream, bourbon and caramel; it’s amazing! I am occasionally the lucky recipient of an invitation to visit a local restaurant and try some of their menu items, and most recently a visit included this amazing Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake. Obviously not at all in the same way a food critic would sample dishes but as a guest. Their hopes are that I will enjoy a meal and share it with my readers and my sincere hope is that I will too. It does seem the cards in the deck are stacked in their favor, after all they know why I am there so of course they pull out all the stops; does make you wonder if it’s a fair representation of what a diner could expect right? Want to save this recipe? Enter your email & I’ll send it to your inbox. Plus, get great new recipes from me every week! My most recent invitation was to visit one of Ted Turner’s restaurants aptly named Ted’s Montana Grill which has several locations in the Denver metro area. This would be fun and easy…my kids took me there for my birthday and we loved it! While the memory of the Canyon Creek Burger had me over the moon, I knew as soon as I took a sip of dessert that it would be the one recipe I would beg the establishment for. I decry the use of the word swoon used so often by people that it has lost any meaning but in this case, this simple dessert was absolutely swoon-worthy. Exactly how I felt when I first sipped this Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake! I fondly remember that first time I went to a Ted’s Montana Grill. They had just recently opened their establishment on Larimer Square in downtown Denver. My girls wanted to take me there so it was a big night out for us. Larimer Square is a charming, bustling block in the heart of Denver; the ever present overhead twinkling lights add an extra element of gaiety and the fact that my birthday is two weeks before Christmas meant things were really popping. Funny I don’t recall what I had that night but I will never forget what my daughter Lauren ordered and is still her favorite, the Kitchen Sink burger which includes American cheese, ham, bacon, grilled onions, mushrooms and a fried egg. The name is clearly perfect. Since that night, they have opened a couple of other locations and I chose to go to one closer to me in my old stomping grounds of Greenwood Village in the Landmark Shopping Center. Good call…loved the proprietor and staff. I had invited a friend to join me and Rajean decided to order the St. Phillip’s Island Crab Cakes which boasted a Southwestern seasoning, guacamole, roasted asparagus and kale salad. I am a big fan of seafood and was sorely tempted to follow her lead. I had a certain ping of envy but that was silly; we’re all about sharing! I remembered Lauren’s love of their burger so I went that direction and chose one that was a bit unique and seriously the PERFECT choice for me. The Canyon Creek Burger includes Cheddar cheese, bacon, jalapeno, blackberry jam and a fried egg. I buy a local jam that is blackberry with serrano peppers and I simply love that sweet/hot combination so felt good with this choice and I was not wrong. The burger I enjoyed on my birthday was bison, so this time around I opted for beef. Juicy enough that I had to remain watchful and not embarrass myself with rivers of deliciousness running down my shirt and a flavor combination that was everything I had hoped for. I thought this was really the Kitchen Sink and more. So much more that I could barely make it through half even after sharing some with Rajean. The proprietor at this location was great. Not just attentive but warm and friendly too. He shared some of his personal path towards ending up at Ted’s and his enthusiasm for the company was palpable. He told us how involved Mr. Turner is with the business and that ‘Aunt Fannie’s’ Squash Casserole is really and truly his aunt’s dish. Rajean wasn’t sure she had ever had a squash casserole before and within minutes a sample appeared for her to try. A short story about how they hand cut and make all of their onion rings daily and again, magically, a plate appeared for us to try. My kind of rings; onions tender enough to bite through and a crispy seasoned crust to die for. Dipped in some of their horseradish sauce? Heaven. We were full and content and I believe I might have even inquired about a cot when Kyle asked if we would like some dessert. Oh how I love dessert but we were so full we couldn’t so of course we did. You know just not to be rude. 🙂 Highly recommended was their Strawberry Shortcake, delivered in a tall stack with house made drop biscuits, vanilla ice cream, fresh strawberry sauce and whipped cream. It reminded me of what I make for my family with the drop biscuits and the truth is it was enough for a family on that one plate! Loved it. It really was enough for a crowd and we were full so…oh shoot who am I kidding? We ate it all. Good thing we were sharing BUT, but, but…nothing prepared me for the Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake listed under ‘Adult Shakes.’ Oh my. Simple too…which is why I requested (OK, begged) for the recipe. Please, please, please??? No secret I love using bourbon in desserts but often there is just the slight hint. This was no hint. This was a for real bourbon kick. Rajean and I are adults but I think there might have been a bit of ‘no it’s MINE’ going on…it really was heavenly. I had already imagined including this Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake in these pages and have been anxious to share but well, the Kentucky Derby really does require a Mint Julep so patience was required. Now the day is here, the Derby will be run in a couple of hours and I can publish this amazingly delicious mixture of simple ingredients. Easy to make too. OK, maybe you won’t have your own milkshake machine (yay for garage sales!) but a blender will do nicely. While I did make my own caramel sauce (and added 2 tablespoons of bourbon to it) you do not have to and sometimes I don’t either. Just buy a good brand at the grocery store; I’ve used this Ghirardelli Salted Caramel Sauce and it’s good! Do try making your whipped cream using brown sugar; it’s great with the bourbon. Ted’s Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake features Jack Daniel’s whiskey but I used my favorite everyday bourbon, Makers Mark. As long as you include some good vanilla bean ice cream and caramel the spirit is up to you. Still, the real bottom line? You must try this. I saved some for Amy, my neighbor across the street. She of the, ‘not sure I love bourbon’ type? Well in less than a week I’ve got her loving Mint Juleps and this shake….how do you like bourbon now my dear?? If you’re in Denver and close to the Tech Center? Make your reservation now to visit Ted’s Montana Grill; while I love re-creating some of their favorites at home, there is nothing quite like visiting them for a special experience.

This Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake is a specialty at Ted’s Montana Grill…and now you can make it at home! Vanilla ice cream, bourbon and caramel; it’s amazing! I am occasionally the lucky recipient of an invitation to visit a local restaurant and try some of their menu items, and most recently a visit included this amazing Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake. Obviously not at all in the same way a food critic would sample dishes but as a guest. Their hopes are that I will enjoy a meal and share it with my readers and my sincere hope is that I will too. It does seem the cards in the deck are stacked in their favor, after all they know why I am there so of course they pull out all the stops; does make you wonder if it’s a fair representation of what a diner could expect right? Want to save this recipe? Enter your email & I’ll send it to your inbox. Plus, get great new recipes from me every week! My most recent invitation was to visit one of Ted Turner’s restaurants aptly named Ted’s Montana Grill which has several locations in the Denver metro area. This would be fun and easy…my kids took me there for my birthday and we loved it! While the memory of the Canyon Creek Burger had me over the moon, I knew as soon as I took a sip of dessert that it would be the one recipe I would beg the establishment for. I decry the use of the word swoon used so often by people that it has lost any meaning but in this case, this simple dessert was absolutely swoon-worthy. Exactly how I felt when I first sipped this Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake! I fondly remember that first time I went to a Ted’s Montana Grill.

Not just attentive but warm and friendly too. He shared some of his personal path towards ending up at Ted’s and his enthusiasm for the company was palpable. He told us how involved Mr. Turner is with the business and that ‘Aunt Fannie’s’ Squash Casserole is really and truly his aunt’s dish. Rajean wasn’t sure she had ever had a squash casserole before and within minutes a sample appeared for her to try. A short story about how they hand cut and make all of their onion rings daily and again, magically, a plate appeared for us to try. My kind of rings; onions tender enough to bite through and a crispy seasoned crust to die for. Dipped in some of their horseradish sauce? Heaven. We were full and content and I believe I might have even inquired about a cot when Kyle asked if we would like some dessert. Oh how I love dessert but we were so full we couldn’t so of course we did. You know just not to be rude. 🙂 Highly recommended was their Strawberry Shortcake, delivered in a tall stack with house made drop biscuits, vanilla ice cream, fresh strawberry sauce and whipped cream. It reminded me of what I make for my family with the drop biscuits and the truth is it was enough for a family on that one plate! Loved it. It really was enough for a crowd and we were full so…oh shoot who am I kidding? We ate it all. Good thing we were sharing BUT, but, but…nothing prepared me for the Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake listed under ‘Adult Shakes.’ Oh my. Simple too…which is why I requested (OK, begged) for the recipe. Please, please, please??? No secret I love using bourbon in desserts but often there is just the slight hint. This was no hint. This was a for real bourbon kick. Rajean and I are adults but I think there might have been a bit of ‘no it’s MINE’ going on…it really was heavenly. I had already imagined including this Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake in these pages and have been anxious to share but well, the Kentucky Derby really does require a Mint Julep so patience was required. Now the day is here, the Derby will be run in a couple of hours and I can publish this amazingly delicious mixture of simple ingredients. Easy to make too. OK, maybe you won’t have your own milkshake machine (yay for garage sales!) but a blender will do nicely. While I did make my own caramel sauce (and added 2 tablespoons of bourbon to it) you do not have to and sometimes I don’t either. Just buy a good brand at the grocery store; I’ve used this Ghirardelli Salted Caramel Sauce and it’s good! Do try making your whipped cream using brown sugar; it’s great with the bourbon. Ted’s Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake features Jack Daniel’s whiskey but I used my favorite everyday bourbon, Makers Mark. As long as you include some good vanilla bean ice cream and caramel the spirit is up to you. Still, the real bottom line? You must try this. I saved some for Amy, my neighbor across the street. She of the, ‘not sure I love bourbon’ type? Well in less than a week I’ve got her loving Mint Juleps and this shake….how do you like bourbon now my dear??

This Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake is a specialty at Ted’s Montana Grill…and now you can make it at home! Vanilla ice cream, bourbon and caramel; it’s amazing! I am occasionally the lucky recipient of an invitation to visit a local restaurant and try some of their menu items, and most recently a visit included this amazing Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake. Obviously not at all in the same way a food critic would sample dishes but as a guest. Their hopes are that I will enjoy a meal and share it with my readers and my sincere hope is that I will too. It does seem the cards in the deck are stacked in their favor, after all they know why I am there so of course they pull out all the stops; does make you wonder if it’s a fair representation of what a diner could expect right?

My most recent invitation was to visit one of Ted Turner’s restaurants aptly named Ted’s Montana Grill which has several locations in the Denver metro area. This would be fun and easy…my kids took me there for my birthday and we loved it! While the memory of the Canyon Creek Burger had me over the moon, I knew as soon as I took a sip of dessert that it would be the one recipe I would beg the establishment for. I decry the use of the word swoon used so often by people that it has lost any meaning but in this case, this simple dessert was absolutely swoon-worthy. Exactly how I felt when I first sipped this Salted Caramel & Bourbon Milkshake! I fondly remember that first time I went to a Ted’s Montana Grill. They had just recently opened their establishment on Larimer Square in downtown Denver. My girls wanted to take me there so it was a big night out for us. Larimer Square is a charming, bustling block in the heart of Denver; the ever present overhead twinkling lights add an extra element of gaiety and the fact that my birthday is two weeks before Christmas meant things were really popping. Funny I don’t recall what I had that night but I will never forget what my daughter Lauren ordered and is still her favorite, the Kitchen Sink burger which includes American cheese, ham, bacon, grilled onions, mushrooms and a fried egg. The name is clearly perfect. Since that night, they have opened a couple of other locations and I chose to go to one closer to me in my old stomping grounds of Greenwood Village in the Landmark Shopping Center. Good call…loved the proprietor and staff. I had invited a friend to join me and Rajean decided to order the St. Phillip’s Island Crab Cakes which boasted a Southwestern seasoning, guacamole, roasted asparagus and kale salad. I am a big fan of seafood and was sorely tempted to follow her lead. I had a certain ping of envy but that was silly; we’re all about sharing! I remembered Lauren’s love of their burger so I went that direction and chose one that was a bit unique and seriously the PERFECT choice for me. The Canyon Creek Burger includes Cheddar cheese, bacon, jalapeno, blackberry jam and a fried egg. I buy a local jam that is blackberry with serrano peppers and I simply love that sweet/hot combination so felt good with this choice and I was not wrong. The burger I enjoyed on my birthday was bison, so this time around I opted for beef. Juicy enough that I had to remain watchful and not embarrass myself with rivers of deliciousness running down my shirt and a flavor combination that was everything I had hoped for.
