Preggers Mocktail: Blood Orange Sangria

By Ali | Published: February 23, 2013

Um, I miss booze. Like, a lot. I didn’t think I’d miss it as much as I do, but man, do I salivate when I see a good cocktail going by at a restaurant. I also miss wine. You would think that I was a heavy drinker before getting knocked up, but not really. I [...]

Pumpkin Spice Latte

By Ali | Published: December 3, 2012

I am a sucker for delicious seasonal coffee drinks. Starbucks started my obsession, but I’m starting to feel that they are too sweet. Well, with the exception of the caramel brûlée latte. I could drink one of those a day for all of December. I love the flavor of pumpkin in the fall, and have [...]

Mixed Berry Smoothie

By Ali | Published: August 13, 2012

So, I’m going to share yet another breakfast smoothie. Forgive me, but I’m sort of obsessed. I do this thing where I really love something and overload on it, then get sick of it. Do you do that? I do it with new songs way too often. Also with foods, especially of the breakfast variety. [...]

Peach Banana Smoothie

By Ali | Published: July 19, 2012

In an effort to spice up my breakfast routine, I’ve been stocking items to make smoothies in the morning. About a month ago, I discovered Annie’s chocolate banana smoothie and swooned. The frozen banana trick is pretty awesome. I needed an alternative to the chocolate banana flavor, and have had a constant stock of juicy [...]

Chocolate Banana Smoothie

By Ali | Published: June 18, 2012

I am not a morning person. Well, actually I think it’s more that I hate waking up in the morning, but once I do, I am super productive and love it. Still, I am queen of the snooze button. So, naturally, on work mornings I am rushing around and rarely have time to do anything [...]

Strawberry-Mint Water

So this might seem like a no brainer or maybe something that is too simple to blog about but, people, let me tell you…spa water is pretty awesome. That is what I call any kind of water that contains any yummy fruits, veggies or herbs. You know how you get to sip lovely cucumber water [...]

Kumquat Mojito

By Ali | Published: June 4, 2012

In case you didn’t know this already, I love a good cocktail. Usually vodka is my liquor of choice, but from time to time I can be swayed to venture to another type. Rum usually brings back memories of one too many drinks from my college years, specifically spring break in Puerto Rico. While the [...]

A few weeks ago one of my favorite fashion bloggers, Liz from So Much to Smile About, shared some martini recipes. It was totally a welcome surprise, seeing as martini is one of my favorite words… Since I was expecting company for a 5 day visit, I promptly went to the liquor store to pick [...]

Blood Orange Fizz

By Ali | Published: February 5, 2012

I am a sucker for pretty drinks, and for vodka in general. This is why I always choose the pretty colored, most expensive martinis on the menu as a general rule. Since I’ve been really into blood oranges lately, we’ve had tons in the house. So when I’m in the kitchen I feel like they [...]
