Lately it seems like everyone I know has been getting sick. I haven’t caught anything yet, which probably means I’m next in line. But you know what tastes great when you’re sick? Soup and crackers, of course. Chicken soup is the old standby, but since I don’t eat meat I have to find alternatives. Recently […]
Spiced Maple Whiskey Cider Cocktail
I’m not really into the pumpkin recipes that I’ve been seeing everywhere now that fall is in full swing. But I’ll take apple pie, apple crisp, or apple cider any day of the week.

In a recent post about things I want to do this summer, I mentioned making popsicles and other frozen desserts. So far I’ve tried a couple of recipes, and this one is by far the winner. These are creamy and lemony and, with the hint of vodka, they feel like a grown-up version of a […]
