Have you tried an Aperol Spritz? They are such a good, refreshing summer drink and remind me of being in Italy. While, I won’t be indulging in any this summer due to pregnancy, we decided we still needed to share a version with you here on the blog. This is a Frozen Aperol Spritz recipe. It’s an Aperol Spritz in blended form, so it brings the drink to another level of cooling refreshingness. Like the frose did to the rose.

Mother’s Day is fast approaching. Last year I celebrated my first Mother’s Day with my daughter. She, my husband and I were in London on vacation. We picked up some pastries and coffee and spent the day together. This year I’m pregnant with my son. We’re having a slightly more chill Mother’s Day this year and will be spending it at our home in Austin, cooking up some Mother’s Day recipes and relaxing.

Have you ever made an aviation cocktail? It’s so tasty. It’s a combination between sour, sweet, and just a touch floral. It’s one of our favorite cocktails, and we were both shocked we hadn’t shared it on the blog yet. So Josh whipped up a couple the other day and we took photos. (Then he got to drink both because pregnancy).
The tartness comes from the lemon, the sweetness comes from the Maraschino Liqueur and the flowery flavor comes from the Creme de Violette. And of course it has gin. We love gin around here.

So you know how sometimes you KNOW you need to get in your greens, but you really don’t feel like eating a salad? That’s been me lately. I know I’m probably not getting enough nutrients and not eating enough veggies. So instead, we’ve been buying a lot of baby spinach. And I’ve been putting them into smoothies. I love smoothies. And it’s easy to just throw in a bunch of spinach, and voila! A green smoothie that tastes delicious.

Ahhh…the coffee shake: milky ice cream deliciousness combined with the thunderous jolt of the gods. It reminds me of how yummy beverages with medicinal benefits were common, like when the OG Coca-Cola contained cocaine. The coffee shake is a delightful treat carrying a much needed kick of caffeine.

It’a hot here in Texas. Just like every other summer. So we’ve been trying every possible thing to stay cool. Trips to the pool, staying in air conditioning, and cool drinks.
We wound up getting a small seedless watermelon for snacks for our daughter, but baby’s not gonna eat a whole watermelon by herself, no matter how small it is. So I cut up a bit to turn into this watermelon cucumber cooler. And I’m so glad I did! It was so refreshing and healthy. Tasted like summer. Reminded me of a cocktail without alcohol. Of course, you could always add a splash of rum, tequila, or vodka if that’s what you’re craving.
