With the high prevalence of people choosing vegan foods and people living with food allergies, dairy-free milk substitutes are becoming increasingly popular. I remember my little brother being lactose intolerant when he was young and his doctor recommending he drink goat’s milk, which still contains lactose but for some reason is easier to digest than cow’s milk. My sister and I teased him relentlessly (all in good fun…what are loving big sisters for?), calling him a little “kid” (bad pun, I know). Anyway, nowadays even in regular grocery stores you can usually find several different kinds of dairy-free milk, including rice, almond, soy, and coconut […]...
Cold-Brewed Iced Tea
I have been drinking cold-brewed iced tea all summer and I cannot believe I only just now thought to share it with all of you. You probably already have a favorite recipe for iced tea, but if you haven’t tried cold brewing it yet I highly recommend it.

With any luck warm weather will carry into autumn, but if not there’s […]...

If you want to share, I’d love you hear some of your favorite holiday foods or drinks! If you like the flavor of eggnog, but find it too rich to drink on its own, here are a few other uses for it: […]...
Cardamom-Spiced Mocha
Cardamom in coffee might sound strange, but cardamom is typically added to Turkish and/or Arabic coffee. Cardamom is related to ginger, and it has a eucalyptus-like aroma and a warm flavor similar to cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, but with lemon-citrusy undertones. Not only does it add a very complex flavor to coffee, but according to The Herb & Spice Companion, there is some evidence suggesting that cardamom reduces the effects of caffeine in coffee. I really like the use of cardamom in mocha because all of its flavor complexities pair well with the various flavor notes in the cocoa powder. And it’s even better […]...
