Tropical Smoothie with Pineapple and Mango
We’ve been taking full advantage of all the fruit in season lately. It’s one of the best parts of summer, if you ask me. Pineapples, mangos, berries of all sorts, peaches, and so much more—I need all of the things. Now that I know how to tell when fruit is ripe, there’s less disappointment and…
Strawberry Chocolate Protein Shake
As promised on Wednesday, I’m sharing a protein shake recipe that I whipped together earlier this week out of hanger (that also went along with my Paleo diet experiment). This is a stupid easy recipe and can be made Paleo/vegan/whatever if you’re into that. I used an almond coconut milk blend for the base of…
Watermelon Champagne Cocktail
As of today, there are 43 days until summer. This doesn’t mean a lot to me since 1. I work full-time year round (oh, how I miss those boring summers between school years) and 2. I live in San Diego so most days feel like summer (I’m annoying; I realize). Despite the summer season not…

When it comes to smoothies, I go through periods of having them constantly to not making one for months. Well I’m trying to start drinking them again since they can be such awesome meals or snacks. The reason I haven’t been making them much lately is 1. they require effort and 2. I’m sick of…

Classic Red Wine Sangria Recipe
This is a little late, but something magical happened on Saturday-sangria! I made sangria for the third? time ever, and it was ridiculous…and addicting. Not sharing the recipe would be a sin. I’ve seen sooo many interesting sangria recipes — white wine, holiday-themed, kiwis thrown in — it’s kind of awesome how much potential sangria holds….
Berry Spinach Smoothie
I’ve been in creation mode all morning. When trying to figure out what to do for a workout this morning, I knew I wanted to focus on doing bodyweight exercises. After browsing through my Pinterest workout board and not finding anything that struck my fancy, I decided to just make my own. I’m taking the…
Beergaritas
I don’t know about you, but I love margaritas. During our family Thanksgiving festivities, I mentioned that I made beer margaritas for everyone (that’s a normal Thanksgiving beverage, right?), and people really seemed to enjoy them! Since I’ve made them before, and plan to use the recipe in the future, I figured I should share the goodness. I’m…
A Bit of Chocolate and Rum
I’ve been in quite the recipe-making mood lately. Unfortunately, I’m not that great at creating my own recipes because I have issues with using the right measurements. Luckily, I’ve come up with a few extremely easy recipes that were hard to screw up. I present to you a bit of chocolate and then a bit…
Latest Food and Drink Concoctions
I lied in my last post. I’m only giving you recipes for a drink, side, and “other” type of item. My cookie making has been a bust, so no dessert for you—unless you consider skittle-infused vodka to be dessert. Today’s post is just a combo of some of my latest kitchen adventures. You’ll find 3…
