I fear I’ll run out of summer Fridays before I run out of refreshing summer cocktail ideas, so I’m posting two today. So many cocktails to try, so little down time. Hiccup. Today’s drinks are for my friend Jes, who has a surplus of cucumbers. She’ll need one (or both) of these after a long [...]
The past ten days have been an absolute whirlwind. I’ve traveled over a thousand miles by car and been tied to a computer for days. This weekend, I hope to take it easy; plans include a visit to the farmers’ market, pilates, and clinking fresh cocktails with friends. I suspect any sweet summer fruit would [...]
The concept for this cocktail came to me in a flash of brilliance (or desperation?) around 5 o’clock last Friday. I’m sure it has been done before, but it’s delightfully simple and postworthy nonetheless. I must warn you that this drink is dangerously delicious; I took a sip, snapped some photos, and slurped it right [...]
The beautiful red bell is a delightful cocktail made at Manifesto, a modern day speakeasy in Kansas City, Missouri. I first experienced it in February, when I was in town to visit my friend Jordan and her husband. She had talked up Manifesto and her favorite drink, the beautiful red bell, over the weekend. Curiosity [...]
Considering that today is officially the first day of summer (though we’ve been suffering through 100 degree summer temps for weeks), it seems fitting to share my new favorite frozen drink recipe. I tried this banana almond smoothie recipe for the first time yesterday and awoke this morning with a vicious craving for another. Packed [...]
Hot, humid days call for refreshing frozen treats, am I right? Here’s an ultra-creamy smoothie recipe made with pineapple, coconut and avocado. It’s a vegan recipe adapted from Healthy Happy Life. Save Print Piña-vocado Smoothie Author: Cookie and Kate Recipe type: Smoothie Serves: 1 Ingredients 1/2 cup orange juice 1/2 cup frozen pineapple 1/2 avocado 1/2 of [...]
By now, I hope my blog expresses my belief that food should taste great and make you feel good. I insist that my recipes meet those qualifications. I’m not the type to stomach a shot of nasty wheatgrass just because it’s nutritious. Why should I let something that doesn’t taste good pass my lips when [...]
You may be scratching your head at the title of this post. Milkshakes? In the winter? While it’s snowing? Don’t worry, I haven’t lost it. I was advised to consume more calcium in preparation for donating PBSC’s (peripheral blood stem cells) to a cancer patient. The milkshake has proven totally addictive. I’ve been making them [...]
Happy New Year’s Eve! Cookie and I started the day off right with fruit and Prosecco cocktails. I mixed pomegranate juice with fresh pomegranate arils, muddled and strained kiwi with lime, and made a traditional mimosa, garnished with a slice of mandarin orange. I hope you enjoy looking at my colorful concoctions as much as [...]
