  • Layered Strawberry Coconut Smoothie

    Hey everybody! How was your weekend?  Do anything to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?  I didn’t really do anything, though yesterday was awesome for a totally un-holiday-related reason: I took the day off work.  Not for any reason at all, just because I needed a little breather, a day off, a personal day. It. was. amazing. …

  • Blackberry Kiwi Smoothie

    Good morning, internet friends! I am up and at it early this beautiful Saturday morning because I am getting ready to head out to El Dorado County for some wine tasting with my friends who are visiting from LA. I am so excited to see my friends and spend the whole day with them, and…

  • Raspberry Lemon Vanilla Smoothie

    I made a super simple tiny smoothie the other day to accompany some toast for breakfast, and loved it!  I thought you’d like it too. It tastes like summer in the dead of winter. Perfectly pink frozen fruit, that bright fresh flavor from lemon juice, all blended in a beautiful chilly little drink (that maybe…

  • Immunity Powerhouse Green Smoothie

    Guys, I’m sick.  Boo. It’s pretty mild, but I am feeling a little slow and sleepy, so the other day I decided to take a nice long lunch and go home and make myself a nutrition-packed smoothie (where I could drink it under a blanket, of course) to re-energize me for the afternoon. It was…

  • Fizzy Prosecco Sunrise

    Need a sparkly drink for New Year’s Eve?!  You could sip this as the ball drops, or the next morning during brunch.  I made this for Christmas morning, and I’m so happy with it.  It’s a cross between a tequila sunrise and a mimosa.  Sold.  Simple, gorgeous, and tasty! 

  • Blueberry Coconut Margarita (No Sugar Added)

    I present to you the health foodie’s margarita.  I’m not sure how else you could make a margarita more guiltless.  This bad boy is a nice refreshing drink of superfoods without any added sugar. It couldn’t be simpler to make, either, and only has five ingredients!

  • 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…
