  • Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal Smoothie

    Got a smoothie for you today with some weird ingredients.  Oatmeal (but you’ve seen me do that again and again! and again! ) and an apple.  Blended with some more common smoothie ingredients.  It’s cinnamony deliciousness first thing in the morning.  That tastes like oatmeal cookie batter.  Soooo happy.

  • 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…

  • Kiwi Melon Margarita

    Getting excited for St. Patty’s Day?! Well, I’m not. Okay, I’m (kind of) kidding.  St. Patrick’s Day will be a fun day filled with friends, food, drinks – and my half marathon!!!  Yikes. I had absolutely planned on posting regularly about my half-marathon training.  Which I’ve pretty much done – I mentioned my 10 mile…

  • Blueberry Cashew Matcha Smoothie

    Got a quickie recipe for you today – a smoothie with green tea in it!  Yep!   Matcha tea powder blended in a yummy blueberry smoothie will definitely perk you up in the morning.  Plus I’m adding one of my new favorite ingredients, raw cashew butter.  It’s a great way to add some protein in your…

  • 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…

  • Coconut Water Mocha: Hangover Kryptonite

    Overindulge last night?  Enjoy this yummy concoction to help revive you.  Coconut water will rehydrate you, replenish your electrolytes and minerals, something else . . . Coffee.  Well, we know what that does – wakes you up!  Okay, it’s also going to dehydrate you, which you don’t need.  But I know you don’t care.  You…

  • Green Tropical Coconut Smoothie

    Okay, now it’s time for one of those green-juice-drinking healthy resolution recipes.  One of my resolutions is to drink green juice more!  Lots more.   So the other day I juiced a bag of greens with a few stalks of celery.  A very plain but shockingly green juice.  I mixed the first serving of it with…
