For Thanksgiving I wanted to create a festive cocktail that had a twist of healthy things in it, like fresh squeezed juices and some bubbles from kombucha. Pressed Juicery just happened to have $5 sale on their juices so after a nightshift I walked to one of their stores and got a green juice (perfect […]
Cocktails
GINGER-KOMBUCHATINI
I like a cold brewed drink on a hot summer day just as anybody else. At the same time I very much dislike the side-effects like drowsiness and the next day’s lethargy which is reason enough for me to not drink more than once in a blue moon. It just so happens that kombucha is […]
BETTER COCKTAILS: GINGER BELLINI
This is the perfect post to do as I’ve already started transitioning to my annual spring detox. I have always had a sweet tooth and my cravings for sugar can get really loud. I love candy, cinnamon buns, cakes, pies and would love to eat these things every single day. But I try not to. […]
BRUNCH PERFECT: BLOODY MARY SMOOTHIE
It is now almost a “tradition” that we have Bloody Mary’s when we carve our pumpkins (because we did it once before here). This time I wanted a Bloody Mary that actually tasted good so I made it from scratch using my favorite kind of tomatoes: heirlooms. The plan was to juice them, but I […]

BETTER COCKTAILS: STOLI VANIL MANGO
When I’m in a mood for a cocktail I try to use as natural ingredients as possible. Cocktail mixes or store bought juices definitely won’t cut it. It’s either blended fruits or lemon/lime juice. I was in a tropical mood and we had some mango pieces in the freezer so I decided to make mango […]
MY BIRTHDAY
One year older, one year wiser and one year richer in experience… We celebrated my birthday early this week (yes, I’m Pisces) so February and March has been busy for us, as I’ve mentioned before. Valentine’s Day, both my niece’s birthdays, husband’s birthday, our anniversary, my sister-in-law’s birthday, my birthday and on top of that […]
