Cheers to 4:30 pm

Let's be honest, there are days out there that we just go home thinking "Holy Cow! I just survived another day and I think that in itself, is cause for celebration!" Well, the new Toby Keith song came on the radio at work and usually I am not a fan of TK but his song "Drinks After Work" is quite catchy and happens to be my inspiration for today! Here are a couple of delicious looking recipes that I just might have to try after 4:30 pm...

Enjoy! ;)
