Happy Mardi Gras, everyone! Is anyone doing anything fun? In a perfect world, I would be down in New Orleans right now, stuffing my face with fried, powdered sugar-covered beignets, drinking like a fish, and enjoying 60-degree weather. Instead, however, I’m sipping a healthy green smoothie, glaring out the window at the giant muddy snow…read more »

Unicorn Tears

December 28, 2013 8 Comments

Guys, my glassware/bar ware habit is getting out of hand. Even after donating like 4 boxes of stuff to Good Will, I am quickly running out of space (read: have already run out of space but am in denial) to store all of the new glasses and bottles I keep buying. My most recent purchase?…read more »

Frozen Peach Margaritas

May 2, 2013 4 Comments

It’s almost Cinco de Mayo! Otherwise known as my favorite excuse to make and drink a whole bunch of margaritas. I realize that two back to back cocktail posts might make it look like I have a bit of a drinking problem, but I don’t — I swear! I just like icy cold beverages made…read more »

Cherry-Berry Frozen Mojitos

April 27, 2013 4 Comments

Today was the nicest day we’ve had in a while — clear skies, high of 70, lots of sun, and no wind. It was a day meant to be spent outside. So, instead of lounging around our condo being lazy like we usually do on Saturdays, Dan and I decided to revive our balcony garden….read more »

Strawberry Banana Daiquiris

March 21, 2013 4 Comments

Dan can tell you that I’ve gone a little smoothie crazy lately. Those green smoothies from last weekend were the first smoothies I’ve had in ages, and guys? Smoothies are delicious! And, if you sneak in some leafy greens and high protein yogurt, they’re pretty good for you too! I’m a fan. So much of…read more »

Mango Wine Coolers

June 29, 2012 2 Comments

Hoo-boy, we just had ourselves a real scorcher of a day, didn’t we? Weather.com tells me we reached a high of 102 degrees today. 102 and sunny. Bright, merciless, blazing sunshine…everywhere. Thank god I didn’t have to go outside today. Frankly, sitting at home furiously handwriting a million essays for my simulated bar exam was way preferable to…read more »

Triple Berry Frozen Mojitos

June 4, 2012 10 Comments

This post is inspired by our balcony garden, which is flourishing in the summer heat. Especially the apple mint. That sucker is spreading out and overrunning everything! It reminds me of a hydra — every time I snip off a sprig or two for cocktails, 10 more spring up. It’s starting to get out of…read more »

Strawberry Mojitos

May 15, 2012 8 Comments

It’s strawberry season, everyone! The pick-your-own-fruit farms are open for business, the grocery store shelves are loaded with fat, juicy, sweet berries begging to be eaten, AND…   …my strawberry plants have started to bear fruit! Do you know how exciting that is? SO EXCITING! Our little balcony garden is a success! [Squeal!] To be…read more »

Grapefruit Margarita

May 5, 2012 10 Comments

Another day, another margarita. Don’t judge me, OK? It’s Cinco de Mayo! I’m pretty sure margaritas are mandatory on Cinco de Mayo. Yup. Totally. And that’s fine by me, ‘cuz these grape fruit margs are fabulous — mild, sweet, tangy, and refreshing. Even Dan, who doesn’t like grapefruit at all and looked deeply skeptical when I…read more »

Classic Lime Margaritas

May 3, 2012 6 Comments

Someone pointed out the other day that I’ve been going nuts with the beverage posts lately. It’s true. The only action my kitchen has seen in the last few days is fruit-squeezing, ice-making, and cocktail-stirring. Before you ask, no…I have not suddenly developed a drinking problem. It’s just that for food-blogging purposes it’s a lot…read more »
