CHOCOLATE CHIP SKILLET COOKIE (WITH COFFEE SALT)
When it comes to chocolate, I have no self-discipline. I often find excuses to eat it, and the thing is I really have no plans to change. I am what I am. Life is short, so why not over-indulge in some chocolate? This chocolate chip skillet cookie is one of my favorites, and the addition…

GINGER PLUM BISCUIT COBBLER
You may be asking, what’s a biscuit cobbler? Cobblers typically have a traditional pie crust top, but in this recipe biscuits are used instead. I like a heavy crust on my cobblers and pies, so the biscuits were a nice addition. This ginger plum biscuit cobbler recipe is really a lovely winter dessert. I’m also…

RED VELVET COFFEE BROWNIES
Today is Valentine’s Day! I swear it was just New Years like a minute ago. I know it doesn’t seem like it because I’ve brought it up so much lately but I don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day in the traditional sense. The novelty of it is my favorite part. Most people don’t love the commercialization…

LEMON BALM TEA THUMBPRINT COOKIES
Here’s another recipe that was Valentine’s Day inspired. While it actually has nothing to do with V-day, it feels like it does to me. Although these lemon balm tea thumbprint cookies are good for any reason. But for the seasons sake, lets call them Valentine’s Day cookies. To get the lemon balm flavor and essence…

A VERY VALENTINE TEA BLEND
There’s something about blending tea that feels so primal. It feels organic and empowering, like maybe I’m carrying on a skill that some may consider valuable. I guess I could say that my favorite thing about it is that anyone can do it. We all have our own preferences to taste, texture and nuance. This…

VEGETARIAN PHO TEA
Ok, maybe calling it a tea is a stretch. Technically it’s a broth but sometimes there’s a fine line between the two. Vegetarian pho tea is an easy way to get some adaptogens and wholesomeness that broth offers. Pho is my go-to meal when I’m sick. The broth is powerful and unique and delicious. I…

CINNAMON TOAST WITH TEA BUTTER
I have this really vivid childhood memory of toast. It’s waking up to the smell of freshly toasted toast and the sound of my grandma tapping her sugar spoon against her cup of coffee as she stirs in the crystals. She dipped her toast into her coffee and would share with me if I got…

CARAMEL CORN WITH COFFEE SALT
I have to admit, I’m not the biggest fan of popcorn. I mean, I’m definitely having some if I’m in a movie theater, that’s a no-brainer. But the hassle of them getting caught in your teeth is just too much for me to bear. I do, however, LOVE caramel corn. So I made caramel corn…

GREEN TEA & BLOOD ORANGE VINAIGRETTE
It’s been a little grey around here so I wanted to make something to brighten it up a little bit. Groceries have become so expensive that I’m resorting to search high and low for deals and specials. It just so happened that blood oranges went on sale and I knew I had to snatch them…

HOT TODDY MOCKTAIL

HOT CHOCOLATE WITH TEA MARSHMALLOWS
Oh, hot chocolate. How I love you so. I feel like I could never grow out of it. It’s my preferred drink at any cafe or coffee shop. And I feel like that will probably always be true no matter how old I am. I’m definitely a whipped cream or marshmallow in my hot coco…

CHAMOMILE & LAVENDER TEA MARSHMALLOWS
I always considered myself a marshmallow hater. Whenever I happen upon a s’mores session, I eat the chocolate and leave the graham cracker and marshmallow.

ELDERBERRY SYRUP MOCKTAIL
Since it’s dry January and all I thought it would be appropriate to share a mocktail recipe. I just had my one year anniversary, or whatever you want to call it, being alcohol free. Technically I do sample all of the alcohol recipes I create and write about, so I have had alcohol but I’m…
