I’m finally getting around to posting about day 2 of the Foodbuzz Festival in San Francisco. The recap of Day 1 is here. I was SO proud of myself for navigating the mess of bus lines that got me lost last year! Would you look at this map? Oh dear. I was stressed out that I [...]

Would you believe me if I told you that this smoothie tastes just like a pina colada? Well, it does. I know it sounds crazy, but you can’t even taste the spinach! You taste coconut and pineapple. It is such a treat and a regular I love to make as a snack after church, for [...]

Green smoothies are all the rage! They are healthy and taste surprisingly sweet for the amount of spinach that is in them. I found this recipe on my friend Jen’s blog. I halved her recipe and it filled our Black & Decker blender that sorely needs replacing. It’s possessed! 4 cups fresh spinach 1 baby [...]
This drink is one made famous by Serendipity 3, a must-visit if you’re ever in New York City. It’s a tiny, funky place where hot fudge sundaes and treats like this abound. They now have one in Las Vegas too! You can buy a mix to make their Frrrozen Hot Chocolate, but it’s a bit [...]
We have had some extremely warm weather in Santa Cruz recently, and I just had to make this punch. It is so refreshing when it’s hot out! We have been welcoming the sunshine after all of the storms and rain. This is really sticky…my husband accidentally spilled some (twice) on our kitchen floor and I [...]

Last month, my friend Melissa posted on facebook about how awesome homemade hot cocoa was. I asked her to share the recipe, and she sent me this link: Hershey’s Hot Cocoa. She is right! This is so creamy, rich, and delicious that you’ll never want to have powdered mix again! It has been freezing in [...]
