  • Blueberry Muffin Protein Smoothie

    A few days ago, I posted a picture of this smoothie on Instagram – if you follow me, you probably noticed how damn excited I was. This was an accidental creation that I am super proud of.  It was one of those mornings when I was running really late and wanted to make a fast smoothie…

  • Busy Woman’s Matcha Latte

    Hi, internet friends!  How was your weekend?  Mine was fun, but a little bit busier than I expected!  Preston (the bf) and I babysat his niece and nephew for most of the weekend.  It was a pretty fun weekend filled with lake time, playgrounds, ice cream, and kids movies.  But it was a little ridiculous…

  • Busy Woman’s Iced Mocha

    GUYS, GUESS WHAT I did yesterday!!! I gave notice at work!  Yikes.  I got a great opportunity at a different firm.  I’ll be much more legit-lawyer than I am at my current job, so I’m really excited.  Plus mortified.  I have two different offices right now, so had to give notice to two bosses and…

  • Endless Energy Strawberry Rhubarb Smoothie

      I made a light summer-ready smoothie this weekend with two new experimental ingredients. First up is maca.  Want some serious energy from a natural source?  Done.  Maca is a root.  You can buy it raw sometimes, but it’s difficult to find.  You can also buy maca powder, which has been dried and ground.  Maca…

  • Carrot Pineapple OJ + Green Smoothie

    Quickie post today!   Just a wonderful juice recipe that is fantastically sweet and refreshing.  Perfect for a summer morning.   Then I blended it into a smoothie with some greens.  Hope you enjoy one of these summer treats to cool you down 🙂

  • 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.

  • Fennel Spice Green Tea Miso Soup

    I hope you’re not terribly confused by the title of this post as to what I’m actually making.  I made miso soup.  In green tea.  A savory “fennel spice” green tea.  I know, right?

  • 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.

  • Carob-Covered Strawberry Smoothie

  • 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! …
