  • Chai Tea Concentrate Recipe Review

    I have been meaning to share this recipe for a really long time.  I think I first tried it right around the same time I started the blog.   But to me, chai tea lattes are a fall and winter treat.  So I’ve been waiting.  And now it’s finally time!    

  • Sweet Cabbage & Beet Juice

    So here’s a recipe I created with one very narrow purpose: use up the purple cabbage I bought for my lemongrass green curry quinoa salad post.  Because I was left with 3/4 of a cabbage.  Annnnd I actually don’t like purple cabbage (I used it largely because it’s pretty, and I’m always working on branching…

  • Cherry Acai Basil Margarita

    Last weekend I went through my recipe list to make sure I have a nice, well-rounded bunch of recipes for y’all, noting any oversights that I intend to remedy soon (so please let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see featured and I’ll add it to the list!)  I sure did notice a…

  • Peach Strawberry Rosemary Daiquiri

      My final Juice & Smoothie Week post!  This is a weekend smoothie to end my juice and smoothie week right!  Obviously, if you omit the rum, this is still a smoothie. So it totally counts.   I hope you enjoyed my juice and smoothie week!  I thought it was a pretty fun and healthy…

  • Mango Cherry Lassi

    I may have had a small stroke this week.  I was reaaaallly excited for the Mango Guava Lassi I’d planned.  But then I ate the vanilla soy yogurt I bought for it and forgot to buy the guava juice in the first place!    Good going, Leslie.   I just wasn’t in the mood for…

  • Root Veg Juice

      Juice & Smoothie Week Post #3: What?  Root vegetable juice?  Yes.   This is the weirdest one I’ve tried.  After having my juicer for almost a year now, I’m finally starting to branch out from the very typical all-fruit or fruit-and-greens juices.  It does take some working up to, cause some vegetables can be…

  • Doughy Morning Coffee Smoothie

    Juice & Smoothie Week Post #2!  Here’s the definition of a portable breakfast: your morning coffee and your morning oatmeal in one glass.  Drinkable.    Sounds weird, right?    Well, it doesn’t taste weird!  It tastes like a rich, doughy, blended coffee-flavored milkshake.  So good.

  • Secret-Ingredient Orange Julius Smoothie

    Welcome to my first (maybe annual) Juice & Smoothie Week!  This week, nothing but fresh juices and delicious smoothie concoctions.   Why are we celebrating such a festive occasion?  Well, for several reasons.  First, I have an excess of fruit in my freezer 🙂  Second, I have sooo many ideas for juices and smoothies and…

  • Watermelon Superfood Slushie

    Remember ICEEs???  They were one of my all-time favorite childhood summer treats.   Alright . . . I shouldn’t speak of them in the past-tense.  I definitely have at least one every summer still.

  • Prosecco & Pear Granita Float

    Fresly pressed pear juice and prosecco granita. Melting away in a glass of more bubbly prosecco. Lovely light summer dessert.   Granitas are a perfect summer dessert.  The process is simple: take some kind of liquid (juice, alcohol, coffee/tea, flavored simple syrups, or any combination of those things), and freeze it.  But while it’s freezing,…
