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.

I love smoothies and smoothie bowls. But making them can be challenging. We used to have a blender that would require me to keep adding more liquid, and stopping the blender to push ingredients down to get them incorporated. So annoying and time consuming. But we got a new blender! Finally. And now I can make all the smoothies and smoothie bowls I want so easily. Just in time for summer.

Our next door neighbor used to go on many travels around the world and bring us back something from her trips. She would bring us truffle honey from Italy, a purse from Vietnam, and from one of them, she brought us back some orzo from Greece.
It sat on our shelf for a long time. I had never made orzo before. It was daunting. I’m not sure why. But finally, I decided that orzo needed to find its way into a tasty dish. So this lemon orzo soup with shrimp was born.

While I love traveling to other cities when I get time off and exploring new places, sometimes that just isn’t in the cards. So instead, this past week I took a staycation. It was everything I dreamed it could be. It’s so nice to take time to enjoy your city and to also just relax.
I spent a lot of my time just reading books at my house. I enjoyed this slightly cooler weather. (Hello 80-degree temps)! I visited a new-to-me coffee shop and enjoyed a delicious chai.
