Start your day off right with this simple and delicious green smoothie bowl. I know I’ve been going on and on about hating the heat and being ready for fall and fall flavors. While that is absolutely true, I still can’t bring myself to cook fall food while it’s still 90 and humid. I may…

Plum Bourbon Cooler
What do you do when it’s almost September and you’re ready for pumpkin and cinnamon but it’s still 90 degrees and humid? Well, if you’re me, you try to cool down with a cocktail that takes advantage of bountiful stone fruit but incorporates the fall and winter-like warmth of bourbon. This plum bourbon cooler is…

Fresh Mozzarella With Roasted Tomatoes
Roasted tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, olive oil, and a big loaf of crusty bread. That’s all you need for the ultimate lazy late summer meal.

Smoked Salmon Tartine
A Smoked Salmon Tartine is the perfect easy weekend breakfast! It’s probably pretty clear by now that I am a sucker for totally decadent over the top treats. Treats that make you smile while you’re eating/drinking them. But I also love simple, less decadent treats, especially for breakfast. So this Smoked Salmon Tartine with a scallion…
S’mores Milkshake With Bourbon Vanilla Marshmallows
This S’mores Milkshake with Bourbon Vanilla Marshmallows is totally over the top and totally delicious. Hi, my name is Maya and I have an addiction to s’mores. I mean chocolate + marshmallow? What’s better than that? Nothing, right? I mean, I guess chocolate + peanut butter is pretty great too… But no, I think s’mores win in…
Dulce De Leche Espresso Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
This Dulce de Leche Espresso Chocolate Chip Ice Cream is so easy to make and so delicious to eat. Let’s just get this out of the way first -> you need this ice cream in your life. It tastes sort of like a creamy, frothy, caramel-y cafe au lait with chocolate shavings on top. Or…
Chocolate Smoothie Bowl
This chocolate smoothie bowl is healthy enough for breakfast but tastes like dessert! I resisted the smoothie bowl craze for a bit, but I finally gave in and decided to try it out at home.
