I am a big fan of wine. Some days, however, I just want something a little lighter, a little juicier, a little more like a glass of when-I-was-a-little-girl-on-summer-break punch. Except, with a bit of… punch to it. Not quite as sweet or heavy in my mouth as a Sangria (also it’s been a long day and I don’t feel like cutting up fresh fruit tonight). Enter the Summer-y Wine Spritzer! Simple. Tasty. Girly. Perfect! In the name of research, I tried a few different combos. BECAUSE I CARE. <3 I have a version for reds and version for whites, but…

TRUTH: I love to cook and have always enjoyed experimenting in the kitchen. Sometimes I will get an idea of different flavors that I want to pair together, and I just go for it. Usually it works out really well and I have a happy honey enjoying his dinner! Sometimes, though, I honestly just want to have a nice meal for the two of us that is fancy enough to taste interesting, healthy and fresh but NOT take hours to prepare. I want to try something that is different from my few go-to favorites, but won’t require me to hunt…

After back-to-back weekends of seemingly nonstop partying with friends & family, my body has had just about enough with the heavy foods, desserts, and more than a few adult beverages. I just felt kinda bleh and gross and dull. Can I get an AMEN? I don’t love the idea of a “cleanse” but I do LOVE to have a hard reset to put my system back on a course that makes me feel good and happy and whole. I created a neat little smoothie that’s green and sweet and wonderful that does just that! Here’s my recipe: 1/2 ripe banana…
