  • Mocha Cappuccino Mousse

      This morning I wanted a special Sunday coffee drink while I cozied up on my couch to read some blogs for awhile.  Feeling a little pumpkin-ed out, I decided to recreate the mocha cappuccino mousse I had last weekend at Tower Bridge Bistro for their Vegan Chef Challenge. My version isn’t quite as rich,…

  • Mint & Honey Tea Slushie

    Back with a quasi-recipe, folks!  I have been sipping on one favorite drink most of the summer: mint and honey tea.  Yes, I eat honey.  Sometimes.  I’m a moody vegan when it comes to honey, I can’t really make up my mind, so I just eat honey where it’s harder to avoid or when I…

  • Sweetened Condensed Soy Milk + Chai Coffee Latte

    There have been a lot of times when I’ve seen a recipe or wanted to make something and thought I’d really like to have sweetened condensed soy milk.  But when I saw this simple and delicious looking recipe for a chai spiced latte (with coffee, not tea) from Giada DeLaurentiis, it was more of a necessity. …

  • Busy Woman’s Matcha Latte

    Hi, internet friends!  How was your weekend?  Mine was fun, but a little bit busier than I expected!  Preston (the bf) and I babysat his niece and nephew for most of the weekend.  It was a pretty fun weekend filled with lake time, playgrounds, ice cream, and kids movies.  But it was a little ridiculous…

  • Busy Woman’s Iced Mocha

    GUYS, GUESS WHAT I did yesterday!!! I gave notice at work!  Yikes.  I got a great opportunity at a different firm.  I’ll be much more legit-lawyer than I am at my current job, so I’m really excited.  Plus mortified.  I have two different offices right now, so had to give notice to two bosses and…

  • Matcha Latte w/ Vanilla Bean Simple Syrup

    I am in LOVE with matcha lattes from Peet’s.  With some vanilla syrup in them. Oh my gosh. But they’re costly.  And I seem to wind up late for work on the days I stop to pick one up 😉 So I figured out how to make them at home!  It’s actually pretty simple.

  • Coconut Water Iced Tea

    Meet your go-to summer drink!  I did some major kitchen re-organizing this weekend and ran across my cold-brew iced tea bags from last summer.  Nice timing!  But when I went to my fridge to fill up my pitcher with water, I saw coconut water sitting right next to it.  Hmmmmmm.  A wonderful impulsive creation resulted! …

  • Coconut Water Mocha: Hangover Kryptonite

    Overindulge last night?  Enjoy this yummy concoction to help revive you.  Coconut water will rehydrate you, replenish your electrolytes and minerals, something else . . . Coffee.  Well, we know what that does – wakes you up!  Okay, it’s also going to dehydrate you, which you don’t need.  But I know you don’t care.  You…

  • Sweet Almond Dark Hot Chocolate

    Happy first day of a long holiday weekend!  At least I hope it is for all of you.  If not, please feel free to drown your sorrows in a gigantic mug of this awesome cocoa.  Kahlua goes well with it if necessary. A decadent holiday treat.  In a mug.  Cozy and comforting and sweet. 

  • Soy Nog Latte: 3 Ways

    Time for my first cozy winter drink!  Yes!  For a wonderful winter treat, curl up at the end of the day with a steaming hot mug of this.  Or make this to kick off a workday when you’re less than motivated to leave the comfort of home and trudge off to work.  Though I don’t…
