This might be the most refreshing drink ever made. It kind of tastes like spa water and lemonade got married.. in my mouth! I love limeade even more than lemonade and the cucumbers make it extra special. And really, any excuse to break out the juicer pleases my kid ...

As a kid, nothing said ‘ tropical summer fun’ more than virgin pina coladas or virgin strawberry daiquiris. I vividly remember sitting by the pool sipping one of these frosty drinks giggling with my little girlfriends. Even today, I can almost taste it. When we were planing our Cinco ...

A few weeks back we were wandering through Sur La Table when a mini juicer caught my kid’s eye. He begged to take it home with us. It wasn’t a toy and it wasn’t candy so I obliged. Daily requests to make lemonade went unfulfilled because we never have ...

Friends, followers, first-timers: I have a confession to make. Last week marked our 365th post, but it took us longer than 365 days to get there. We set out to cook 365 new recipes in 365 days. Along the way we discovered so many new recipes. Along the way ...

Our friends came over for brunch with their baby in one arm and a bag of fresh fruit from the farmers market in the other. They asked for a cutting board, a knife and a bowl when they arrived. I thought this was such a lovely way to go ...

It seems that strawberry lemonade is popping up everywhere this season. First we saw it at the pier, then at a party and just yesterday Trader Joe’s had a huge display of it. With July 4th right around the corner, I thought we’d see if we could make our ...

My mother in law sent us an edible arrangement for Valentine’s day and my kid flipped for the fruit skewers. We ate as much as we could the first day and stored the rest in glass containers in the fridge. Later in the week we got creative with the ...
