delicious seasonal eats
Summer is well under way. Becky and I have teamed up again to share two new refreshing summer beverages with you. Her Pineapple Basil Breeze looks and sounds amazing! And I’m sharing this refreshing Golden Beet Lemonade. Both drinks taste like liquid summer. My husband thought I was crazy when I told him I wanted to […]
On Saturday I spent the day doing pre-production for some fun photography projects I’m working on. I can’t wait to share them with you! I really love pre-production days – shopping for groceries and props is great, and I love seeing a shoot come together. It’s even nicer when I’m sans kids and can concentrate […]
A few years ago I fell in love with acai bowls. I had never heard of an “acai bowl,” but I was definitely acquainted with acai. We had previously had it in sorbet mixed with chocolate or blueberries, or in powder form. I went to a smoothie bar and tried my first acai bowl. A […]
I’m taking a break from all the sweets today and sharing another winter smoothie recipe. I can’t seem to get enough cranberries! I want to head to the store and stock up with more before they are gone for the year. I really like adding them to my smoothies. They add a great tang. […]
Eggless eggnog? Yep. And one that’s gingerbread-spiced to boot. I based this on an eggless eggnog my friend Kathryn makes. I had it at her house on Christmas Eve about 7 years ago. Here’s the thing – I love regular eggnog a lot, preferably homemade. But there are times when I just don’t feel like […]
Ah, the green smoothie. For me, it’s a thing of beauty. I love eating my greens, but I also love starting my day by sipping them in a cold green smoothie. It’s kind of addicting! Once you start, you’ll never go back. I’m calling this one Kale Sunrise Smoothie because it tastes kind of tropical […]
This Cranberry Pumpkin Smoothie is the perfect thing to perk up your morning. I make a batch and it lasts me until lunch, unless I’m nice and share. Then it’s perfect for two people. No greens in this smoothie! I thought about it, but decided I really liked the flavor of the cranberries and pumpkin […]
Becky and I are sharing healthy spinach recipes. Check out her recipe for Spinach-Almond Pesto over Pasta with Preserved Lemons. Doesn’t that sound delicious? I come up with silly names for my smoothies and juices. Do you ever do that? I’ve finally started juicing again. I pulled my Breville out of the cupboard where it […]
{Becky and I are sharing breakfast smoothie recipes this month. Be sure to check out her Grapefruit Pear Green Smoothie.} I have had every intention to keep juicing, but I grew tired of cleaning my juicer. Not because it is difficult to clean, but because my sink is usually full of dishes and I have […]
Every summer get-together deserves a great party punch. When my husband’s aunt and uncle invited us to their farm for a little family reunion yesterday, I asked if we could make Watermelon Otai. Otai is something we usually seem to have at big family parties with my husband’s side of the family. Everyone loves it, […]
