This is a super quick post. We are at the beach in Rhode Island this week. We are stuffing ourselves with seafood (clam cakes and Rhode Island clam chowder!) and Owen is loving swimming in the ocean. Sorry I don't have more photos of this yummy plum quinoa smoothie for you! I actually ...
Fresh Tomato Bloody Mary
Last week I drank an entire pitcher of bloody marys.* Seriously, I don't mean to toot my own horn, but this recipe is one of my best yet. I've never been a Mrs. T's mix person (except when I'm on an airplane), but when I've made bloody marys in the past, I've always used bottled tomato juice. I ...
Limoncello Sangria
This is my 100th blog post! I almost didn't notice, but last week I was doing some updates and realized that I was at 97. So of course, I had to plan something celebratory for today. But before we get to this week's drink, how about some fun links from around the web to help kick ...
Cucumber Rosemary Limeade
Earlier this week, I listened to this fantastic interview with Sally McKenney from Sally's Baking Addiction. Her blog gets literally millions of hits every month, and it was really interesting to get a glimpse behind the scenes. I was so relieved to hear that of everything--recipe testing, writing, ...
Green Juice Lemonade
Happy 4th of July weekend! What are you up to? I'm making a red velvet ice cream cake with my 8-year-old niece tomorrow (her request). We're doing a two-layer cake with vanilla ice cream in the middle, and red, white, and blue sprinkles. It's going to be pretty outrageous. I don't know which one of ...
Zucchini Bread Smoothie
Happy weekend! This Saturday we have back-to-back toddler birthday parties. Wish us luck. I joked to a friend that Owen is going to have a cake hangover. What are you doing for Father's Day? I'm giving Alex the morning to himself, and I'm planning to take Owen for a run in the jogging stroller. ...
Blueberry Cabbage Power Juice
Happy Friday! I hope you have a super weekend. I'm getting a much needed massage here. So fancy! It was a gift from my mother-in-law and I am very excited. Alex actually has to work on Saturday, so Owen and I are on our own. I think we're going to hit the farmers' market and then test out a recipe ...
Lemony Sweet Tea Vodka
(Photo credit: Steve Legato) Happy Friday! And Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Can you believe we made it to the summer after the looong winter we had? I think we all deserve a pat on the back and a fun cocktail for surviving all that snow. We are still in California, so this post will be short ...
Matcha Spinach Smoothie
I'm trying something new here, a regular feature called Links & Drinks. On as many Fridays as I can manage, I'll post a roundup of links to interesting articles, Internet finds, books, podcasts, and anything else I'm currently loving. I'll also post a drink recipe--sometimes a cocktail, ...
Honeydew Agua Fresca
Like most kids I know, Owen is obsessed with the movie Frozen. On a recent trip to the supermarket, he spotted some bottles of water with the characters on them. Even though I'm generally opposed to paying for something I can get for free from my kitchen sink, I caved and let him get the Olaf one. ...
