Hey Besties! 🌟 So, I had this serendipitous encounter with Brewsy back in fall 2020. Picture this: I'm scrolling through Instagram and bam! Brewsy's ad pops up. As a wine enthusiast, I've always been curious about making my own but thought it was super complicated. Then Brewsy came along, promising ease and fun, and I was like, "Yes, please!" So, I snagged their welcome and bottling kits right away.


Life, as it does, threw me a few curveballs (hello, foster placements!). My winemaking dreams took a backseat... until Christmas rolled around. 🎄 The thought of sipping homemade wine during the festive season? Irresistible!


My first batch was such a hit that I dove right in for a second round, and guess what? I'm bringing you along for this grape-to-glass journey today! 🍇✨


Before we get into the nitty-gritty, here's a sweet deal for you: a special coupon code at the end of this post for savings on all things Brewsy!


What's Brewsy?

It's a fab little kit that transforms any juice into a robust 15% ABV wine in just 5 days. With the Welcome Kit, you're all set to make 12-18 bottles of your very own vino. Just grab refill bags when you need more.


I'm about to give you the lowdown on my winemaking escapade. Trust me, Brewsy's instructions are gold, but here's my own 'Tiff's Twist' on it!

What You'll Need:

  • Brewsy Welcome Kit
  • Your choice of juice (I went with grape and cherry)
  • Cane sugar
  • Optional: Bottling Kit, Glass Gallon Jugs

Let's Make Wine!

  1. Pick Your Juice: You can get creative here. Cherry, grape, you name it!
  2. Sweetness Level: Brewsy's calculator is a gem. It helps you determine how much sugar to add based on your sweet tooth and the type of wine you aim for.
  3. Mix It Up: Pour sugar into a gallon container, add juice, and shake it up. Drop in a Brewsy bag and shake again.
  4. Set It and Forget It: Almost! First, it brews at 75-80 degrees for 3 days, then chills in the fridge for 2 more. The yeast does its magic, and voilà – wine!

Racking and Enjoying

After brewing, you'll want to rack the wine (separate it from the sediment). It gets better with age, but keep it refrigerated since it's all-natural with no preservatives.

Hey Besties! 🌟 Guess what? I've stumbled upon the holy grail of banana bread recipes, and I've been obsessed for months! 🍞✨


A few days back, I found myself with a bunch of super-ripe bananas (you know, the perfect banana bread kind!). So, what did I do? I whipped up not one but several loaves of this heavenly bread!

Here's a funny twist: the original recipe was just a screenshot on my tablet, with no website or author's name. Wanting to give a shout-out to the genius behind this yumminess, I turned into a detective on Google. 🕵️‍♀️ Believe me, finding this needle in the haystack of a million banana bread recipes was no small feat!


I'm such a repeat offender with this recipe that I finally wrote it down. No more squinting at a flour-smudged tablet screen for me! 📱💁‍♀️

The other day, I decided to double the recipe while in my baking frenzy. Picture this: my KitchenAid mixer practically doing acrobatics to mix all those bananas! 🍌🎪 A word of advice? Stick to single batches, folks!


I usually jazz up my banana bread with walnuts and chocolate chips. But, surprise! I was out of walnuts and didn't dare overload my already overworked mixer. So, I went old school and baked it plain. And guess what? It was a smash hit, even without the frills! 🎉


I made so much I thought I'd freeze some for later. Who was I kidding? In our house, banana bread vanishes faster than a magician's rabbit! 🐰✨ It's just that delicious!

breadtitleI made the famous Reddit Peanut Butter Bread!

I enjoy browsing Reddit & love finding new subreddits to look through.

One of my latest finds has been the Old_Recipes subreddit.

When I first started looking at the subreddit, I kept seeing the same recipe made by different users over & over:

Peanut Butter Bread.

It looked easy enough to make so I thought I’d try it.

Here are my thoughts:

peartitleBeautiful to pear blossoms!

I’ve shared some pictures of my parents’ pear tree in the past.  I thought I’d take you along this year from the beginning:  the blossoms!

The pear tree always does extremely well & produces a ton of pears, but it has really shown up this year!

There are blossoms everywhere!

This is a Bartlett pear tree & full pears should be ready by the end of August or early September.

When it’s harvest time, there will be plenty of pears to eat & make things from!  I’ve gathered some recipes that would be perfect for these Bartlett pears!
