Vegan Food. Tested on Carnivores.
Warming and wonderful, this Vegan Campfire Espresso Martini combines deep coffee flavours with the sweetness of a homemade vegan marshmallow syrup. Cocktail hour never looked better.
We don’t live a life where cocktails are common, we’re beer and wine people, but when I saw the recipe in delicious. Australia for a campfire martini, I was inspired.

With the goodness of spinach, avocado, banana, almond butter and spirulina, this smoothie should taste…er healthy. Add a dash of peppermint and a ripple of raw chocolate sauce and this Yum Powered Chocolate Mint Smoothie is not only a healthy and nutritious glass; it’s a cup full of delicious and fun flavours. The kids are going to love this.

Contrary to its name, the London Fog latte is a sweet and luxurious Earl Grey brew created in Vancouver, Canada. With hints of vanilla and bergamot this sweet sip is both indulgent and playful; it tastes a little like warm marshmallow. My Deliciously Aromatic London Fog Latte includes a waft of lavender and a tiny pinch of salt to enhance the intoxicating flavours. It’s no wonder those in the know in Canada have been wrapping their lips around this intoxicating cup for years. It tastes just like a lazy Sunday morning.

With the healthful benefits of turmeric and ginger, this Iced Spiced Turmeric Latte is an iced glass of sweet, spiced goodness.

This Super C Smoothie is a deliciously sweet citrus smoothie to help combat flu season or just a lovely addition to your smoothie rotation….
Straight off the bat I want to make my intentions , or mis-intentions, clear. It is not my intention to nourish your body with this recipe, I am not sneaking vegetables in to cocktails and I am not promoting this recipe as a post workout beverage. This Boozy Black Forest Shake is decadent, naughty and all the things you want from a creamy cocktail. A boozy black forest shake is liquid for the soul and grease for the mental cogs. It’s the volume in your sigh as you fold in to your fattest armchair after a long day.
A chilled chocolate and cherry shake laced with kirsch (cherry brandy) and finished with coconut ice-cream and shaved dark chocolate, a homage to the traditional black forest but better. You don’t have to bake it.

Healthy-Oreo Smoothie
Could an Almost Oreo Smoothie be as good as a milkshake? Absolutely! Melbourne has turned on the hot weather again and these three little black ducks are sweltering. Mama isn’t much for turning the oven on at the moment so smoothies and salads are well represented here. This Almost Healthy Oreo Smoothie for Big and Small kids is a welcome addition to our smoothie rotation. OK, so it doesn’t have any greens or purplish bits to speak of but, if you look at an Oreo in a certain light there is the tiniest hint of maroon. Good enough for me, let’s do it. …
I am chocolate’s bitch.
Pardon my language but it had to be said. I am chocolate’s mistress, handmaiden, lackey…whichever you are more comfortable with. The point is, I pine for my lost love. While dark chocolate is OK, in my heart there is a giant milky hole where milk chocolate once lived.
BUT, as with all great lovers if it was meant to be, it will be. And today, so it is. Welcome home lover.
This dairy-free hot chocolate is creamy on the tongue and full of the sweet chocolate I remember from my youth…or my thirties.

Happy New Year to you! I have been wanting to post a few more smoothie recipes as they are such a big part of my family’s diet and I thought what better time than the New Year? Can anyone tell my why New Year is capitalised? Random thought but I always wondered. If you know, please share.
The New Year is like fresh laundry, all clean smelling without too many creases in it. It is full of promise with its nature still soft and floaty, undefined. Nothing has been starched or ironed out, there is just softness.
I think almost everyone promises to do better by their bodies in the New Year. I know I do. So to that, I offer four of my favourite smoothies.
Peach, oatmeal and turmeric to cleanse and strengthen
Beetroot, mint and berries, an antioxidant punch
Cacao, mint and avocado more antioxidant goodness and healthy fats
Watermelon and cucumber to hydrate.

The weather has gone crazy on us. A few days ago we were peaking at around 17 degrees C (62 degrees F) and today it’s 39 degrees C (102 degrees F). It’s enough to get a girl in a sweat. Thankfully it’s Friday, cocktail day.
We have friends staying with us who have been travelling around our fair land in a bus. They came bearing bags and bags of peaches and nectarines bought from stalls on the side of the road. Moving on in a few days to a new State, they can’t take this wonderful stone fruit with them so I’ve pulled up my sleeves and am creating recipes to honour them. But first, a wee drink. Simple, refreshing with just enough sweetness, this cocktail is a twist on the traditional and always delicious Moscow Mule.
Happy Friday, friends.
