A Juneteenth Tradition ❤️

Published 1 day ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

Healthy hydration is my pain point ~ I’m a coffee in the morning and wine at night type. So when I come across a vibrant caffeine and sugar-free drink like hibiscus tea, I’m all over it.

Ruby Red Hibiscus Tea

At Juneteenth celebrations you’ll almost always find red drink ~ made with hibiscus, berries, or sometimes just a bright red soda. The color is symbolic of struggle, resilience, and strength. It’s a bold tradition that deserves an equally bold menu.

And since we've finally got a break in the rain and today is expected to get up into the 90s ~ it's perfect red drink and bbq weather!

(If you haven't tried my molasses cornbread ~ do it! It's amazing.)

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

Just made these… and I'm already plotting the next batch 🤎

Hey friends❣️ It’s hard to beat a frosty scoop squished between two homemade brownies, and my army of taste testers came out of the woodwork for this one! Cute. Simple. Soooooo good! Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches I picked up a pint of strawberry ice cream for this version, but there are so many ways to make these your own.

I 🤎 Brownies!

Hey friends❣️ I do love them, from the traditional to the wildly unconventional and everything rich and fudgy in between 🤎 Olive Oil Brownies You guys love what olive oil does to my Lemon Olive Oil Cake ~ are you’re ready to upgrade to chocolate?! Olive oil brownies are for you if you’ve got an adventurous baking spirit but still want a great tasting brownie that ticks all the boxes. It’s like the chocolate you love, but elevated to something really special. A couple more riffs on the brownie...
