Have you heard of Bulletproof Coffee? My friend (and partner in crime over at The Domestic Mixologist) Mara has been drinking a lot of it lately. When she raved about this butter-and-coconut-oil-infused pick-me-up, I knew needed to have it in my life! Continue Reading →
My favorite hot cocoa mix recipe is one that I got from my 6th grade US History teacher. It’s soooo good, but it makes a ton, and has some ingredients that I don’t necessarily like to use anymore.
So I went on a mission to find a new one that I could make, in smaller batches, to help combat this nasty, cold weather we’ve been having. Continue Reading →
It has been way too long since I’ve made a smoothie. I blame the horrid winter weather we’ve been having for the last few months. I mean, there are only so many “polar vortices” that one can take before willing warmer weather to come back to the East Coast in the form of cold, blended beverages. Rum optional. Continue Reading →
When I first moved to New York (almost 10 years ago now!), I got hooked on diner food. Especially during the wee hours of the morning after a long night of bar-hopping, concert going, and all of the other fun things that recent college grads do. Continue Reading →
A few days before Thanksgiving, Dino sent me a link to a really fun article with some offbeat cocktail ideas inspired by Turkey Day. We wanted to try a few of them out, and decided that this would be the first one. I’m not ready for turkey in my cocktail quite yet… Continue Reading →
After a morning yoga session and trip to the Farmers Market, I decided that I was overdo for a kale-filled smoothie. This one really hit the spot – the mango and banana made it perfectly sweet without any additional honey/sugar/agave, and the chia seeds give this green beauty a big boost of omega-3, antioxidants, fiber and vitamins.

We haven’t made as much fresh juice as we usually do this summer, so we decided to raid the fridge and put something together. I had plans for the greens from a bunch of beets, but didn’t know what I was going to do with the actual beets yet, so we used that as the base. This juice is jam-packed with nutrients, and is bursting with freshness. Continue Reading →
It’s been a while since I made a post-workout smoothie, and since I had some kale in the fridge, I figured it was time to fire up the Vitamix again :). Continue Reading →
I found some super ripe mangoes and avocados at the store today, and I knew they’d be perfect for a lunchtime smoothie. I (of course) had some kale in the fridge, too. I like adding a bit of frozen fruit instead of just ice to bring it all together. Continue Reading →
In an attempt to make a few smoothies that aren’t full of kale and avocados, I put this one together today. After a really long day yesterday, I decided that a nice chunk of ginger would give me a good kick. So I raided the fridge and put this smoothie together. Since I wasn’t using avocado, I threw in some raw cashews for a bit of protein, and to bulk it up a bit. Continue Reading →
Today’s smoothie is full of antioxidants, vitamins and lots of tasty fruits and veggies. I really enjoyed this combination of flavors. This purple powerhouse is a naturally sweet, raw vegan treat. Continue Reading →
It’s been a while since I made myself a smoothie, so I picked up a bunch of kale from the store and decided to make a smoothie with some of the fruit that I had on hand. For some reason, I feel compelled to add kale to 99% of my smoothies. It’s a really great way to bulk them up and add some wonderful nutrients. This one was nice and refreshing, and my toddler seriously loved it, too. Bonus! Continue Reading →
I had some soft tofu that I needed to use up, and I found this smoothie recipe and thought it sounded interesting. I wasn’t a big fan of it. I really enjoy tofu, but this tasted too much like tofu for a smoothie. Continue Reading →
I finally made a smoothie that isn’t loaded with kale. Ha! Maybe I’m trying to will the warmer weather to come here and stay with the addition of a super ripe mango. This one was really tasty, and since it was mostly fruit, it didn’t need any additional sweetener. Continue Reading →
I whipped up another batch of green smoothies at lunchtime today. I really love the creaminess that the avocado adds. I’m anxious for spring to really arrive so I can get a better variety of fresh, local goodies to incorporate into my smoothies! Continue Reading →
