A sweet cocktail to ride out the 2021 U.S. southwest heatwave.

No summer is complete without fresh and delicious summer treats! Here's an illustration of some of my favorites :)

3 recipes of 3 cocktails that can be drunk at home. Those are the Quarantine cocktails: Quarantini, Sex on the bed and Man at Home!

(instead of Martini, Sex on the bed and Manhattan).

Enjoy!

I love things that are really seasonal. You have to wait until their time has come and then savor them while they last. One of those things are elderflowers. Right now on every walk I inspect the elder trees I pass to see how much longer I have to wait until the blossoms are open. I love their smell and aroma and I love the direct connection to the world around me, that gives so graciously. One of the first things I am going to make is an elderflower cordial. It is super refreshing and a wonderful treat of late spring that all of us love.

A refreshing drink for the summer

My happy meal often consists of freshness and always with a bubble tea. Matcha is packed with antioxidants and paired with almond milk is definitely a healthy nutritious drink, hot or cold! I also love a great Japanese salad, with wakame seaweed salad, sashimi, sweet corn, avocado cubes, thinly sliced radish, as well as brown rice. Sprinkle some black sesame for garnish. The dishes are easy to make and make me feel at home. I remember that as a child I had exercise books with red and blue lines, I would love to scribble my favourite recipes on these vintage notebooks. Comfort and nostalgia all at once.

This is my personal recipe for the best strawberry banana smoothie that I make. I hope you try it out and really like it!

Enjoy a mint julep, a perfect spring and summer drink!

Frozen Margarita is one of our go to cocktails. A long time ago we looked up a recipe which we liked very much. I made a screenshot of it and ended up sending hubs (who makes Margaritas for me 😍) every time he needed the recipe a message with the image of the recipe. Finally I got so tired of scrolling through my message thread or images that I decided to illustrate the recipe once and for all! Now he knows exactly where to look when he wants to make me a frozen Margarita! And you, too, if you like!
I decided to forgo the instruction for the salt rim on the glass, as I do not care for it. But if you want one, just rub the rim of your glass with lime juice and dip it into coarse salt, and voilá! Enjoy!

Since I discovered this fabulous trio of spinach, pear and (the secret, spicy ingredient) cinnamon, it’s one of my favorites to have as my first meal of the day - a real kickstarter!

My kid was very proud to come up with this recipe & he proudly made it himself for his siblings (he is 8 ...) I thought it was definitely worth submitting! Hope y’all enjoy.

A refreshing drink for spring: strawberries, blueberries and lemonade.

Easy to make at home Milk Kefir is a true health wonder gem. You can pimp the finished product with all any flavour you like - fruit, vegetables, spices, herbs.
