  • Sweet Almond Dark Hot Chocolate

    Happy first day of a long holiday weekend!  At least I hope it is for all of you.  If not, please feel free to drown your sorrows in a gigantic mug of this awesome cocoa.  Kahlua goes well with it if necessary. A decadent holiday treat.  In a mug.  Cozy and comforting and sweet. 

  • Soy Nog Latte: 3 Ways

    Time for my first cozy winter drink!  Yes!  For a wonderful winter treat, curl up at the end of the day with a steaming hot mug of this.  Or make this to kick off a workday when you’re less than motivated to leave the comfort of home and trudge off to work.  Though I don’t…

  • Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

    You will not believe what’s in this smoothie.  So many fun surprise ingredients.  Chocolate coconut water.  Powdered peanut butter.  Oatmeal.  Spinach.  That’s right.   But it happily tastes like you’re drinking a liquefied peanut butter cup.  (I hope that sounds appetizing to you.  Does to me!)  I’m a little bit in love with this. 

  • Cran-Carrot Persimmon OJ Fizz

    Want a recipe for a Thanksgiving-esque juice?  I thought so.  Perhaps have a glass of this and a Cranberry & Candied Ginger Muffin for Thanksgiving breakfast?  I’m totally doing that.  Decision made.  A friend of mine brought me a nice big bag of persimmons!  How gorgeous are they?

  • Hot Mulled Fresh Pressed Apple Cider

    Guess what happened today?  Some of my Apple Hill apples met my juicer.  Rather awesome. Apple Week continues strong!  For Halloween, I’m making something that to me is the epitome of fall. Apple Cider.  Apple cider doesn’t get much better than this.  I’m taking a nice big pile of my Apple Hill apples, running them…

  • Pumpkin Coconut Chai Steamer

        Last night I got home after a fun, loud, talkative girls’ night and just wanted to curl up on my brand-new couch with a magazine and a warm mug of something cozy to wind down.  So I opened my fridge, and spotted a half-used can of pumpkin, a half-used can of coconut milk,…

  • Chai Tea Concentrate Recipe Review

    I have been meaning to share this recipe for a really long time.  I think I first tried it right around the same time I started the blog.   But to me, chai tea lattes are a fall and winter treat.  So I’ve been waiting.  And now it’s finally time!    

  • Moscato & Cinnamon Poached Pears

    I love this pretty little dessert!  It’s beautiful and elegant, and very light.   Plus way simpler than you’d think.   You really just have to throw some things in a pot to simmer and peel some pears.  Yes, it’s that easy.

  • Cherry Acai Basil Margarita

    Last weekend I went through my recipe list to make sure I have a nice, well-rounded bunch of recipes for y’all, noting any oversights that I intend to remedy soon (so please let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see featured and I’ll add it to the list!)  I sure did notice a…

  • Peach Strawberry Rosemary Daiquiri

      My final Juice & Smoothie Week post!  This is a weekend smoothie to end my juice and smoothie week right!  Obviously, if you omit the rum, this is still a smoothie. So it totally counts.   I hope you enjoyed my juice and smoothie week!  I thought it was a pretty fun and healthy…
