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.

Papaya Lime Banana Smoothie
Time for the spring and summer smoothies to start coming back! This weekend was an amazing moment of summer – I fit in a bike ride, kayak trip, outdoor dive bar, and a couple little walks. And a splotchy ridiculous sunburn (stupid spray-on sunscreen!), dehydration, and overall forgetting how to prepare for such fun activities.

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! …

Strawberry Basil Lemonade Spritzer
Happy Saturday, folks! I had a fantastic spring day wine tasting in Napa with a wonderful friend of mine. I made a nice light sparkly (and hydrating) spring drink for us to sip along the way: a strawberry basil lemonade spritzer. I thought it would be a great way to start a day before wine…

Lavender Prosecco Mojito
Happy almost-weekend, folks! I hope most of you haven’t spent this week sick like I have. Though it has made the week go by quickly in a haze of cough medicine and fuzzy-brain-syndrome. And now it’s Thursday evening already, and tomorrow’s Friday! So I’m plotting another batch of this beautiful cocktail I made last weekend. …

Super Green Mojito Smoothie
Please meet one of the most delicious green smoothies ever! A creamy, fruity, delicious smoothie with that zingy lime + mint flavor of a mojito! I just wish I’d packed both of them to take to work with me today. Sad.

New Flora: Sea Lemon + Hot Toddy Recipe
Look at the crazy thing I found at the farmer’s market this weekend! No, it’s not actually called a sea lemon. It’s called a fingered citron or a Buddha’s hand. But the lovely lady at the farmer’s market stand said she likes to name each one individually depending on what it looks like – she…
