  • Strawberry Tsunami Smoothie

    Strawberry Tsunami Smoothie

    Happy Thursday, friends! How are you today? I’m feeling a little sleep deprived this week. Preston and I did not sleep well while he was sick, and I am starting the never-ending battle between trying to work out in the mornings or figure out if I can actually do it consistently in the evenings! The…

  • Summer Elderflower Shandy

    Summer Elderflower Shandy

    Official summer drink acquired! I haven’t had a shandy in a loooong time, and I’m pretty sure the last time I had one I didn’t like beer. Kind of a problem. Until last weekend. I had an awesome shandy at a local bar called Low Brau (I’ve mentioned it before because they serve fantastic vegan…

  • 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…

  • Meyer Lemon Matcha Muffins

    Good morning, internet friends!  Today’s recipe is a scrumptious healthy muffin that I made to get in some nutrition, but still have a comforting winter breakfast.  Love them.

  • 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…

  • Blueberry Lemon Coffee Cake

    Another week, another loaf baked.  Fall just brings out the baker in me.  It will be an unofficial goal to post one baked good recipe a week for the rest of the fall/winter season.  No promises, no pressure.  But as long as this desire to bake keeps up, I’m going to keep frequently posting treats. 

  • 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…

  • Lemon Pepper Wine-Braised Baby Broccoli

    I have a delicious veggie dish for you today!  I don’t know why this baby broccoli hasn’t made it into my go-to side dish repertoire because it is awesome and delicious, and I devour it whenever I make it.    But it’s nice to step out of the box once in awhile.  This baby broccoli is…

  • 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…

  • Lemony Deep Dish Fruit Pizza

    A dessert pizza!  A soft delicious doughy crust with a secret ingredient.  Lemon curd sauce.  Sweet fruit toppings. Oh my gosh. I served this to many friends/family.  They were surprised to find that it was (1) homemade (2) vegan (3) healthy (4) full of garbanzo beans!!!  Muahahahaha.  I can trick people with my food 🙂…
