About Cabernet & Chaos 🍷🔥
Cheers!This corner of The Hollow Quill is for the women who cook with garlic measured by the heart, pour wine without checking the ounces, and somehow turn weeknight dinners into full emotional events.
Here you’ll find cozy recipes, chaotic kitchen commentary, wine pairings, family-inspired comfort meals, date-night dishes, holiday spreads, and the kind of food that tastes even better eaten standing over the stove at midnight.
Cabernet & Chaos isn’t about perfection.
It’s about flavor.
Memory.
Indulgence.
Laughter.
And occasionally threatening to throw the wooden spoon across the kitchen while sipping Cabernet.
So pour a glass, loosen the waistband, and stay awhile.
Things are getting deliciously chaotic around here. 🍝🍷
Strawberry Shortcake w/Cream on Top
Every year, my eldest twin, Brandon, asks for the same birthday dessert: strawberry shortcake. After last year’s French-style version “just wasn’t giving strawberry shortcake,” I went back to the classics. This homemade recipe features fluffy vanilla cake, fresh whipped cream frosting, sweet macerated strawberries, and homemade strawberry jam for the ultimate summer dessert. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday or simply making the most of strawberry season, this family-favorite recipe is guaranteed to become a tradition in your home, too. 🍓🎂
