Frozen Mocha with Greens
While I’m loving that it’s fall…I have to face reality. The calendar season does not dictate the weather here. It’s heading back into the 90s this week and I’m wanting a cold drink. A fun one. But I’m trying to be healthy. What’s a girl to do? The struggle is real. This is…
Read MorePumpkin Spice Dirty Chai Latte
This drink. Today is the first day of fall and this drink is what I’m loving. The ‘dirty chai’ refers to the fact that there’s both coffee and chai tea in there. Lots of spices that whisper fall, a hint of sweetness, and comforting warmth in a cup. It starts with milk. I use almond…

It’s been in the triple digits here for several weeks. It’s supposed to cool down to a mere 93 degrees today, but that’s still hot enough to crave some iced tea. I’ve been drinking a lot of it lately and decided it was time to change it up a bit. Do you ever get that…

I noticed some kids at the school are starting another round of going out sick. Our weather has been up and down, probably breeding germs extra well.

Read MorePomegranate Mocha
I love mochas. I love almost anything coffee really. But right now, I’m diggin’ on this pomegranate mocha. My dad brought me a full brown paper grocery bag full of pomegranates from his neighbor’s tree. We love to eat them, and make some pomegranate jelly, but I still had some left…so this is what happened…

I was so excited over the Labor Day weekend to have the temperatures around here down into the high 80’s! I drank hot tea and made chili and went for walks in the crisp morning air, desperately trying to hang onto any sign of fall. But of course we’re back into the 90’s this week. …
