A berry delicious gin cocktail.
Philip Stefanescu hails from Sweden and wanted to create a drink that reminded him of those Swedish midsummers. The blueberry jam here works wonderfully when combined with Hendrick’s Gin, mixed with mint and topped with the hoppy bitterness of the local beer. Do this and you’ve got one cool summer serve on your hands.

This recipe is an easy, one-pan dish that works well with any cut of chicken.
This was one of the only ways I could eat fresh greens during my first trimester of pregnancy, and it’s one of the few ways I can get my toddler to eat them, too!
