Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
Blackberry Syrup, Mint, and Lime Spritzers feature the refreshing sweet/tart flavor of blackberries and lime and are great for cooling down with on a hot day.
If you’re from Buffalo, odds are you’re familiar with loganberry. It’s an actual berry (I’ve heard it’s a blackberry-raspberry hybrid), but if you’re from Western New York the first thing to come to mind is probably the drink.…

All opinions are mine alone. #CoffeehouseBlend #CollectiveBias Blended Iced Cinnamon Lattes are easy to whip up at home! They have deep coffee flavor with subtle notes of vanilla and cinnamon; whipped cream on top is the perfect finishing touch. I’m not quite sure how or when it happened, but at some point while adulting I became an avid coffee drinker. I like to blame law school, but really, I think I just developed a love for the flavor and desire for a little extra caffeination in the morning. Let’s be real, some […]...
Mango Meyer Lemon Margarita Mocktails are the perfect family-friendly non-alcoholic drink for a party! Just because I don’t drink alcohol doesn’t mean I’m not into cutsie little drinks. In fact, if the Shirley Temple wasn’t over-the-top sweet and entirely sugar-laden, it would probably be my drink of choice at restaurants....
Disclosure: I’m sharing #beyondordinary in my life as part of a Sahale Snacks® sponsored series for Socialstars™. Try these Easy Homemade Vanilla Almond Lattes instead of hitting up your favorite café! As of late, I have come to terms with the following regarding myself and coffee: As an adult, it turns out I actually am a coffee drinker. I don’t like my coffee super strong and straight-up the way I drank it in law school (basically for rocket fuel); instead, I much prefer a medium roast brewed in a French press with a splash of whole milk or if I’m feeling indulgent, half and half. […]...
This Sweet Potato Spice Latte recipe uses sweet potato puree instead of pumpkin for a fun twist on a favorite fall drink. Plus, it’s paleo and vegan, adapted from Kathy Hester’s lovely The Easy Vegan Cookbook. If you know me in person you know I’m not really comfortable being in the spotlight. I’m rather shy, actually, at least until I get to know someone. And although I enjoy meeting new people, my happy place really is in the peace and quiet of my own home with the person I love most....
I’m the girl who eats soup in summer and ice cream in winter. (But maybe that’s not so strange…scientists say a hot drink on a hot day can cool you down and ice cream can warm up the body because of its caloric content.) Smoothies are my anomaly though; I enjoy them just as much in the dead of January as I do in the blazing heat of July....
Say it’s the morning of something. (It could be anything…say an event you’re speaking at, or a lunch where you’re meeting clients, or an interview with a potential employer…basically anything where you want to look halfway decent.) You wake up like any other day and head to the bathroom. Sleep blurring your vision, you glance in the mirror and do a double take as you notice that the worst is upon you....
I love my coffee, but it’s one of those things that I try not to have every day. I like to think of coffee as an indulgence…not quite on par with triple-layer chocolate cake or lasagna, but still something that isn’t for daily consumption. So when I have coffee, I take my time to make sure that a) its good stuff and b) I have time to actually sit down and savor it. I am a fiend for local artisanal coffee shops and at home my French press sees more action than any other coffee brewing tool in my kitchen....
The only kind of juice Mike likes is carrot. I don’t like to make it for him every day (a friend of a friend’s cousin’s mom swears that her baby turned orangish from feeding her carrots every day!), but I make him a fresh glass of it a couple times a week in the morning when I make my own juice blend....
Probiotic Arnold Palmer So friends, have you hopped on the kombucha bandwagon yet? I jumped on so hard I feel like I could be riding shotgun....
