Non Alcoholic Drink Recipes 

A roundup of Non-Alcoholic Drink recipes by Tracy Benjamin of Shutterbean.com!

Non-Alcoholic Drink Recipes 

I haven’t been drinking that much anymore, how about you?  You can read a little more about my adventure with that here.  What I learned in the past year is that making a special drink feels special. Sometimes that’s all you need at the end of the day.  I’m here to show you how to have a happy hour without the buzz!

Let’s go!

The Food Journal- by Tracy Benjamin of Shutterbean.com & The Handwriting Club 

I have more food journals if you’re looking to start the new year with a good habit!  The Food Journal was my first on my weight loss journey. It always helps me slow down when I make the time to check in with myself. It helped me learn how to trust that I know how to nourish myself.

New Post! Gluten-Free Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies 

Hi, it’s me coming to you with a VERY LASSSST MINUTE (we love those) baking project- Gluten Free Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies!   I was feeling a little bah humbug this year about making holiday treats cuz I don’t partake in them much these days (big sigh) but then I saw this recipe from Liz Prueitt (Tartine!) on Instagram and changed my mind. My house needed to smell good.

I mean… I had all of the ingredients (except cardamom!) so why not?

They’re incredible.  IN-CREDIBLE.

They’re spicy. They’re just the right amount of sweetness (I cut the icing in half from the original recipe) and  I love the texture so much that I want to take a whole stack and bite into them all at once.

For my next trick, I will make an ice cream sandwich with some!
