  • Sleepytime Vanilla Milk Steamer

    Sleepytime Vanilla Milk Steamer

    I meant to post this sleepytime vanilla milk steamer probably…. two or three years ago? It just never made it up. It’s one of those almost-too-simple-to-post recipes, one that I always whip up when I’m not thinking about blogging or taking pictures. Plus it’s usually at night when the sun is down and the picture-taking…

  • Moonlight Chamomile Honey Latte

    Moonlight Chamomile Honey Latte

    Talk about the perfect nighttime drink to put you to sleep. There’s a local coffee shop that makes a drink called a Bowl of Soul. It is a soy milk based chamomile latte with plenty of honey in it. I’ve actually never ordered it at that coffee shop, but have heard about its deliciousness from…

  • Healing Morning Tonic

    Healing Morning Tonic

    For starters, folks, I have a BIG APOLOGY to send to a whole bunch of you – yesterday I was tweaking some things around the blog-a-log (you prob notice some changes now and I’ve got a few more up my sleeve!) and my recently-empty comments alerts went crazy! I don’t know what happened, but normally…

  • Homemade Vegan Hot Cocoa Mix

    Homemade Vegan Hot Cocoa Mix

    Homemade. Vegan. Hot Cocoa. Mix. In case you didn’t read that title and you needed to see it again! I know, I know, it’s really not very hard to find vegan hot cocoa mix. But for me, it is just SO out of an acceptable price range. You’re lucky if you pay less than $2.00…

  • Maple Pumpkin Spice Latte

    Yes, I’m posting a pumpkin spice latte. I am one gigantic walking cliché right now, and I’m not sorry. I thought I posted this last year, but apparently I didn’t. I had a fantastic maple pumpkin spice latte at Peet’s. I had my first one on my rainy drive to Yosemite with my friend Laurie.…

  • Lazy Woman’s Vegan Coffee Creamer

    It was a good weekend for this lazy woman’s beverages 😉 Yesterday I posted my lazy woman’s horchata which I’m completely obsessed with. Today it’s lazy woman’s vegan coffee creamer! This is a basic and delicious recipe that you can adjust to replicate your favorite flavored creamers! This recipe came up the same way my…

  • Lazy Woman’s Five Minute Horchata

    I am SO proud of myself. I made horchata at home. It took approximately 3 minutes. (Five sounds better in the title, but that includes cleanup time, guys!!!) After having horchata a couple times recently from my favorite local tamale food truck, I decided I should really learn to make it myself. I just love…

  • Cold-Brew Kahlua Cafe Au Lait

    Guys, it is HOT outside. I picked a horrible time to move, and have been sweating my butt off getting myself all packed and organized and moved out/in. When it finally was almost done and I had one more quick handful to bring up to Preston’s from my car, Preston offered coffee. Yes, sounds perfect.…

  • Strawberry Orange Spa Water

    Yes, I’m basically posting water as a recipe today.  But I promise it’s really really good water.  Does that help? The hotel where I stayed in Monterey had a giant container of this infused water in the lobby.  I didn’t notice it until my second day there, and I managed to have MANY cups of…

  • Hazelnut Sipping Chocolate

    When you were little, did you ever make a batch of hot cocoa that was pretty much equal parts cocoa mix to water/milk?  (Hope I’m not the only one…)  Well, here’s the adult version.  To make it sound like a classy adult-appropriate drink, we can call it “Sipping Chocolate” a la Trader Joe’s.   I saw…
