It’s no secret that I like to have a drink.
Or 5. But I deserve it this week!
While overindulging isn’t the healthiest thing for your body, let’s be honest… it happens to the best of us. I’ve personally done some research – all for YOU, of course – and have found 10 Hangover Cures that REALLY work.

Some things are embarrassingly easy.
And some are embarrassingly hard.
Today I have an easy recipe for you. Making lemonade in the blender.
Here’s the recipe: put a bunch of lemons in a high-speed blender (I’m biased towards my Vitamix) with some water and sweetener. Blend. Strain. Drink. Boom.

Any holiday that involves good food is my favorite.
Bonus if it includes fireworks.
This 4th of July I have no clue what we will do… it’s my first not in Atlanta. Usually I run the Peachtree Road Race… maybe I’ll run my own 10K? Or maybe I’ll just have a marathon cooking session…
Either way, below are a bunch of recipes that I think would make for a tasty 4th, whether you are home or away, American or just like delicious food!
Oh yeah… and this happened:
SCOTUS marriage equality ruling
…
I drink a LOT of water.
While I love it, there is a bit of flavor exhaustion. Or lack thereof.
The problem is there aren’t a lot of flavored alternatives that aren’t filled with bad stuff. When I had the opportunity to try out Emergen-C, I jumped at it. Who couldn’t use more vitamins?
They have new Cranberry-Pomegranate flavor that I thought would be an excellent add to my water to break up the monotony. Even better is that they are fizzy! I got addicted to sparkling water in Europe and have craved the effervescence ever since. Emergen-C has over 20 varieties of vitamin drink mixes. No monotony here! Plus, all of those B vitamins made for the perfect natural energy enhancement at work.
…
Happy 4th of July!
aka National Sunburn Day.
I have a tradition of running the Peachtree Roadrace (the world’s largest 10K) and enjoying the sweltering heat sunshine. Since I’m off doing that, today’s #strangebutgood is a round of of things you might like to enjoy during your weekend festivities.
Some are stranger than others, but I assure you they’re all good. And they’re relatively quick and easy – especially the oh-so-addicting S’Mores Brownies!

I may have to cool off at the mall. There are sales… all the things… this won’t end well.
What are your plans for the 4th?
What is your favorite poolside treat?
I took a lot of classes this weekend.
If only high school had been this much fun.
Atlanta’s Food & Wine Festival is my favorite event of the year. It’s not just another tasting tent cattle call. Food and wine experts come from all over the Southeast to teach classes, host tastings, and showcase their best on the tasting trails.
Food and wine are also great bonding agents. I tend to go to these event alone, which has lead to meeting a ton of great people. This year I went with my friend Stephanie, whom I met at last year’s festival in the beer and doughnut pairing class!

I’m stranging-up Mayo!
(That’s May, not mayonnaise.)
It occurred to me that many of my Mexican-inspired creations are a bit strange. Mexican is one of my favorite cuisines, and I’m always looking for a good way to shake it up!
No matter what time of day you celebrate, I have an appropriately themed dish!

What’s your favorite cuisine to add a #strangebutgood twist to?
Do you have Cino de Mayo plans? Any special meals?
Atlantarctica.
No, that’s not a Ben & Jerry’s flavor.
My city is shut down over the winter weather. After the disaster 2 weeks ago, government leaders and business are taking no chances. We shut down yesterday… when nothing happened but rain.
Today promises to be more entertaining, but with nothing to report as of the time of this post… we’ll get right to the food and the giveaway.
This WIAW was unexpected work from home day. I love these days because it means I have time to put together meals and eat off of real plates! It’s the small things…
Read on for my eats, and then check out Jenn’s blog for everyone else’s delicious creations!…
