Spent a great afternoon seeing one of my good friends from college. She picked out a great tropical spot in the middle of NYC, Taco Dumbo. We were looking for a quick lunch and some good WiFi. She had a beer and I had a glass of cold rosé along with the tacos. We talked about life: the good, the bad, and the ugly. After we finished lounging, we set out on a mission to find a cafe for some coffee. We ended up at Maman. I really wanted to go to Urban Backyard but there’s never anywhere to sit,…
I never wanted to try making almond milk more than when I discovered this recipe. I think it was the orange blossom water that intrigued me. It’s not a difficult recipe to follow and only requires two key ingredients: almonds and orange blossom water.

May is the peak month for Hay Fever. I don’t know where along the line I became susceptible to this annoying reaction but I did. Along with endless cups of chamomile and honey tisanes, I also like to keep things fresh and energizing with fruits and greens. This energizing breakfast smoothie manages to do just that. I like to use almond milk more than cow’s milk for the simple fact that almond milk is not really milk, it’s just almonds and water.
