Maple Sugar Cookie Hot Toddy
I’m thinking of doing a new series on the blog called I’m Awesome at Turning Manly Drinks Into Girly Drinks. Do you like it? Okay, maybe it doesn’t need to be a series. But I am really loving this. Last year, I got hooked on hot toddys (toddies?) and I loved them. This year, I…

Golden Cantaloupe & Persimmon Juice
Happy Friday, friends! I am so excited for a weekend. I just want to relax a little, read, clean my disastrous apartment, check some Christmas to-dos off my list, and bake bake bake. If my current mood that has me craving baked goods like mad lasts through tomorrow, there will be some goodies on the…

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…

Cranberry Jelly Moscow Mule
Got some leftover cranberry jelly? If not, you should probably go get some…. This scrumptiously sweet and kind-of sour cocktail is such a fun way to use up leftover Thanksgiving jelly, but I think it’s a gorgeous festive drink that will last through the rest of the holiday season. Cranberry is definitely still Christmas-y, and just…

Guava Berry Smoothie
I can’t even believe how long it’s been since I’ve posted a smoothie recipe. I blame the changing seasons that made me crave homemade bread and other baked goods and warming soups and curries. I’m apparently not the only one who’s been craving less-than-healthy goodies. Preston realized this weekend that his unhealthy cravings have been…

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…

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…

Toasted Coconut Mocha Slushie
I told you during my Daily Things yesterday that I’m going to try to celebrate the end of summer a little more and appreciate it while it still lasts. So even though I can’t get pictures of tall boots, scarves, pumpkins, and orange leaves out of my mind, I’m going to focus on the fact…

Blackberry Peach Sangria
I mentioned in my Daily Things that I’m trying to appreciate summer before I get too fall-excited. Well, sangria seems to be the perfect way to really appreciate summer, don’t you agree? I’ve got a few refreshing bevvies I want to post while it’s still a bazillion degrees outside, starting with this amazing concoction. Sangria…
