The “See Ya Later”

May 30, 2014

I whipped up this little number with some leftover grapefruits from my Farm Fresh to You box (use code WHIT1117 for $10 off!) and was pleasantly surprised by the positive feedback! This turned into the drink of choice for Memorial Day Weekend… we highly recommend it for your next pool day!

“See Ya Later” Grapefruit Cocktail

Juice of 2 Grapefruits
Juice of 2 Limes
2 cups Vodka
1/2 cup Elderflower Liqueur (St. Germain)
Club Soda (optional)

This recipe doesn’t get any easier… Simply mix all of the above ingredients (except the club soda) and serve over ice. Top with club soda if you don’t like your drinks as strong… but be careful… this one sneaks up on you!

Blood Orange Granita

May 28, 2014

One of my family’s favorite restaurants is Evvia in Palo Alto (or their sister restaurant Kokkari in the city). While we always over indulge with each course, we somehow always have room for dessert (don’t you hate how that happens!?)… and this is the PERFECT, most refreshing (and guilt free) dessert of them all.

Blood Orange Granita

4 cups juice of your choice (we used blood orange juice… watermelon and strawberry are other great options)
1/4 cup simple syrup
a squeeze of lemon juice

Combine mixture and pour into a metal rimmed baking sheet.
Freeze for 3 hours.
Once set, use a fork to scrape dessert into a slushie consistency.
Top with frozen Greek Yogurt (I literally mean freeze a tub of full fat Greek yogurt and use an ice cream scoop to serve it atop your granita).

Nike iD

May 27, 2014

With my new fitness regimen, workout clothes have been the bulk of my shopping list lately… and while I’m barefoot at Barre3 class, J wanted to make sure I was outfitted from head to toe, and what better way then with custom sneakers?!

NikeiD is one of the coolest sites for custom footwear right now. You can pick the style, colors and everything from designs on the base of the shoe to the lining/swoosh and so much more! I also loved the fact that you can customize the tongue of your sneaker (J and I did each others initials… awwww 🙂
