In Sonnet's Kitchen

(Non-Alcoholic) Cucumber Mojito

July 25, 2017 By Sonnet Leave a Comment

You guys, it has been a crazy couple of weeks.

I moved a couple of weeks ago and thankfully, the actual move is now done, but I forget how much time it takes to settle into life in a new space. Especially if you happen to be a food blogger and are a tad picky about how the kitchen is organized… 😂

Some other recent highlights include figuring out my grad school schedule for fall, freaking out a bit over life transitions, and taking a much-needed long weekend to see Jack Johnson play at the Gorge Amphitheatre.

August is already getting booked up with lots of visits from out-of-town friends and family, so until then, this gal is going to kick back, take a breather and have a drink…

Specifically, I’ll be enjoying this (non-alcoholic) cucumber mojito because, well, it’s pretty amazing and I am seriously craving green things after a long weekend stuck in the car. 😉

Gut-Loving Gummies

Ladies (and gents), I gotta ask you something… do you struggle with getting your significant other to eat healthfully and take their vitamins? I ask because this is a losing battle in our house on most days. 😉 Obviously, taking care of my health is one of my greatest passions, but this doesn’t always ring…

Sugar-Free Chocolate Cherry Chunk Ice Cream (Vegan)

Sometimes, on a hot day in the middle of summer, a gal just needs some ice cream. And, when it comes to ice cream, I can get a bit picky. Luckily for me, this homemade sugar-free chocolate cherry chunk ice cream fulfills all my requirements! There’s no refined sugar and no added sugar at all…

Healthy Sheet Pan Meal Prep

Do you ever feel like eating healthy is too much work? 😉 I can totally relate. Way back in the days before I knew how to efficiently cook, dinner was often take-out or a frozen dinner. However, not only was this un-appetizing after awhile, but it was expensive and made my body feel like crud….

Summer Bucket List 2017

Summer is here and I could not be any more excited. After months and months of grey, rainy days, this Seattleite is getting her sun on! And, in order to help me make the most of the summer months, I decided to create a bucket list of all the fun things I want to do this…

Easy No-Sugar-Added Berry Jam

A few weeks ago when I was playing around with making this sugar-free chocolate chia pudding, I got the idea of using chia seeds to make a quick jam. Since I am too lazy/impatient to make a real jam with pectin, this seemed like a huge win. Plus, this version doesn’t contain any added sugar…

Sugar-Free Vanilla Cashew Fat Bombs

If you have a sweet tooth and are looking for healthier dessert options, then you’ve come to the right place! A couple of weeks ago I made a few batches of these sugar-free vanilla cashew fat bombs for an event at my partner’s office. I heard through the grapevine that people loved them (yay!!) and they…

Summer Thriller Reading List 2017

So, it happened like this: last summer I started reading The Girl On The Train. Just a little innocent summer reading, right? Well, it somehow launched me into a full-blown obsession with mysteries, psychological thrillers, and anything in the crime genre. Overnight I went from being someone who had always spent their free time reading…

4th of July Fermented Digestive Tonic

Can you believe that the 4th of July is just around the corner?! Although I’m not big on block parties and fireworks, I am big on warm weather, colorful berries, and delicious drinks. And that’s where this 4th of July Fermented Digestive Tonic comes in! This fermented digestive tonic combines fresh berries with coconut water and…(drumroll…

Low-Sugar Crockpot Baked Beans

I don’t know about you, but life over here feels a bit crazy and I am counting down the days right now. In just two weeks I’ll be moving and saying goodbye to the sweet little old house I’ve been renting the past two and a half years. Sure, we’ve had our issues and it’s…
