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…

Mint & Cucumber Cooler Green Juice
Quick juice recipe for you! All summer long, I was drinking more smoothies than juices. Which totally makes sense, it’s just what my body wanted. But lately I’ve been missing my green juice habit, so I’m trying to get back into it! I did some juice prep this weekend so I could make juicing a…

Beet & Berries Juice
I mentioned in my weekend recap that I was craving beets last weekend. Of course, I had to look up what nutrients are in beets – what health benefit do they have that I am lacking to give me such a craving? Well, that smart body of mine must have known that beets help detox your…

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. …
