Hello Darlings! Happy Friday! If you’ve been reading my blog for a while you might know I’m a bit of a texture freak. Were talking about having to take the skin off garbanzo beans for a smoother product freak. So when I was mixing up this Kiwi-Lime Martini I was debating whether to leave the seeds in for a super cool looking drink or sieving them out for a smoother sip that looked like a green highlighter came undone in my vodka bottle. Aesthetics won and I am super pleased with the result! ... Read More about Summer Drink Series: Kiwi-Lime Martini

Yogi Clothing Review and Giveaway! (closed)
Hello Darlings! I feel like just yesterday I announced that I was going to start my Yoga Teacher Training course in the fall.

While I’m more flexitarian than vegetarian, I ... Read More about Meatless Monday: Baked Portobello Heirloom Caprese
Summer Drink Series: Spiked Basil Lemonade
Hello Darlings! When I think of summer drinks lemonade is always on the top of the list, which is why I kicked off my Summer Drink Series with a recipe for Spiked Lavender Lemonade. However, the possibilities for flavored lemonade are endless. So when I saw that my basil plant looked like it was about to explode with leaves and flowers I knew I had to put some of those leaves to good use! I used the same concept of infusing the simple syrup with an aromatic as I used in my lavender lemonade ... Read More about Summer Drink Series: Spiked Basil Lemonade
Meatless Monday: Nopalitos Breakfast Tacos
Hello Darlings! Carrying on my desert theme from this weekend's Summer Drink Series Margarita post, I thought it would be fun to create a recipe with cactus! Normally I tend to enjoy the cactus fruit ( prickly pear gelato is to die for!) but I thought it would be fun to try a bit of the succulent side of the plant. Nopalitos, the prepared paddles of the prickly pear plant, are easy to work with and give an interesting, vaguely sweet flavor to your typical morning ...
