Beverages Gluten Free Healthy Quick and Easy Recipes Spring Cravings Summer Cravings Vegan Vegetarian

Blood Orange Lemonade

Sweet blood orange mixed with tart lemonade for a delicious spring drink. This blood orange lemonade is perfect for transitioning from winter to spring.

The weather is playing a guessing game with me. And I’m losing terribly.

Some days it’s soo cold. For instance, on Saturday, there was so much hail that it’s as close as we’ll get to snow in the SF Bay Area. Not that I’m complaining too much. We need as much water as we get since we’re still in the middle of a drought. Other days, like today, it’s soo warm that we might as well be in the middle of summer. So I have no idea what to post. Should it be warm comfort food perfect for winter? Or should it be drinks perfect for the spring and the summer?

I just don’t know! I have no idea if we’re in winter or we’ve moved on to spring. Which means you’ll get mixed messages on my blog until this weather issue has been resolved. Nutella Hot Chocolate two days ago, blood orange lemonade today, maybe something warm later this week. Who knows?

But what I do know is that you have to try this lemonade. Seriously. If you can get your hands on blood oranges, you have to try this blood orange lemonade. That gorgeous bright red color, the sweetness of the blood orange, and the tartness of the lemonade make this drink so refreshing. I think it’d be a great beverage to pair with my Citrus Salad with Blood Orange Balsamic Vinaigrette.

Tomorrow I’m going to be near that market where I found my blood oranges in the first place. I think it’s time to restock because I’m loving all this citrus.

Nutella Hot Chocolate | Cooking with a Wallflower

It’s about time I posted another recipe for my hot chocolate series, especially since we’ve been having unusually cold weather these days. Well, it’s not too cold in San Francisco, except for the occasion windy storm. But I know it’s definitely cold in other parts of the States. What better way to warm up than with hot chocolate?

And not just any hot chocolate, but a Nutella hot chocolate. How can you (or I) resist that tasty flavor of hazelnut in chocolate? It’s like you’re drinking a Ferrero Rocher.

If I didn’t feel so guilty eating thick cut bacon, I would totally eat this Blackstone Benedict from Sweet Maple every day. Thick cut bacon baked with brown sugar and red and black pepper on top of egg benedicts? So delish and highly recommended.

Life of a Wallflower, 22 – February

I’ve been so busy these last few weeks. Honestly, ever since Thanksgiving.

I had friends visiting, Lunar New Year, working interviews, volunteering at dental screenings for low income preschoolers, not to mention work and the blog.

On Valentine’s Day, my friend Jen and I had a girl’s day out.

We had brunch at Art’s Café, which is known for their hash brown sandwiches. Honestly though, it’s more like a hash brown omelet than a sandwich. Maybe I can replicate these at home?

Have you had deviled eggs before?

If you have, then you know there’s something about these little egg halves that are soo addictive. Maybe it’s that savory-ness, maybe it’s that creamy texture, maybe it’s your favorite seasoning. But whatever it is, it makes these deviled eggs soo good.

Why, oh why, are blood oranges sooo good? And why are they so darn expensive?

I’ve been searching for blood oranges for weeks now. You would think that since I live in San Francisco, blood oranges are readily available, but nuooo, they’re not. At least, not in the places I’ve searched. And trust me, I’ve looked in every market I walked by. High and low. Inside and out. Well, guess what? I finally found them!

Happy Valentine’s Day! <3

Wallflower Weekly Faves, 1

So, earlier this week, I realized that I had soo many things I wanted to share with you, and there just wasn’t a place to do it. Facebook wasn’t enough. I mean, if I shared everything I’ve been obsessed with on Facebook, your feed would be bombarded with only my posts. You’d be so terribly annoyed with me. But I couldn’t resist!

This weekend will be the first of my Wallflower Weekly Faves series. It’ll consist of everything, not just food related. This series is meant to be random and fun.

Enjoy! And have a fantastic weekend!
