Have you heard of a green tea shot? I hadn’t until very recently. Initially, I actually thought it was a healthy shot, like an infusion of green tea and other things you would drink for your health. Well, I was wrong. Sure, healthy green tea shots do exist, but these ones are liquor. Green tea…

(In case you missed my other KTLA appearances 1; 2). One of the recipes I’m going to share is this cranberry and pomegranate margarita….
Its watermelon season. We love watermelon in our family. We generally just eat it in chunks, but every now and then, I look for a new way to use it. Recently, I’ve seen a lot of watermelon-infused water recipes and other fruit-infused waters. Although I’ve seen it done several different ways, I never saw a…
It’s Cinco de Mayo, so I thought I should try a new margarita recipe. This mango margarita recipe is so delicious and so easy to make. The great thing about this recipe is that you can use fresh or frozen mangos. I actually used one bag of frozen mangos because I wanted them to have…

Have you tried Moscow Mule recipes before? I’ve only tried one at a friend’s house, but I’m such a sucker for the cute mugs. It’s funny, I don’t even really remember what it tasted like, but I know I just loved the whole process of drinking them. There’s just something about a cute mug that…

It was the drink I craved continuously during my pregnancies. I especially love it in the summer when it’s 110 (Phoenix gets mighty hot!). Simply Lemonade® invited me to create a drink recipe, so…
We had a surplus of peaches after taking our kids to pick fresh peaches at a local farm. We also had a bunch of green tea in the pantry, so I decided to try making a healthy peach green tea recipe.To be frank, I actually don’t like green tea very much. I prefer Earl Grey…
Why Do We Need an Alternative to the Margarita? We started thinking about what would be a nice alternative to the margarita because Cinco De Mayo is around the corner. It’s a relatively big deal here in Arizona. The Mexican celebration of the Battle of Puebla has been effectively appropriated into an eating and drinking…
When the ladies at 5 O’Clock Fashionistas contacted me to create a signature cocktail for my current state of Arizona, a few ideas immediately came to mind – limes and tequila were a must. I’ve lived in Arizona on and off for 7 years now and one thing I’ve learned is that Arizonans love their…
