Watermelon Vodka Slush

This watermelon vodka slush is the best summer cocktail ever! You only need 3 ingredients – watermelon, ice and watermelon flavored vodka. Not only is it super easy, but considering it’s primarily made with fresh fruit, it’s pretty healthy compared to other cocktails.

This is my go-to drink when I’m looking for something fun to bring to a summer cookout or party. And if you have any extra watermelon slices laying around, you can always soak them in vodka for a little side treat.

And feel free to add a dash of extra vodka if you’d like it a little stronger.

(Remember: you’re never too old for a slushie!)

Ingredients

2 cups sliced watermelon
2 cups ice
1 shot watermelon flavored vodka (1.5 oz.)

Instructions

Combine the watermelon and vodka in a blender. Blend until watermelon is pureed.
Add ice and blend again until ice is crushed and texture is slushy.
Garnish with slice of watermelon.

Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

Years ago, I stopped eating meat due to digestive issues, which is one of the reasons I started this blog… to create and share healthy, flavorful meat-free recipes! Over time, I discovered many great alternatives out there: black beans, chickpeas, lentils, marinated tofu, and even… cauliflower! After a while, it became a fun challenge to concoct creative recipes with unique ingredients. I have to admit, there are a few things I miss, one of them being buffalo wings. I don’t think it was the chicken that I missed… more so the buffalo sauce, since I love spicy food. I made buffalo cauliflower for the first time this week, and it was absolute heaven! I used Earth Balance dairy-free butter (it was the only butter I had at the time), and it worked perfectly fine. If you’re on a vegan diet, any vegan butter will do. And you can pair it with a side of vegan blue cheese or ranch dressing. (If not, regular butter and dressing works too.) For the hot sauce, I use...

Egg Frittata Muffins

One of the reasons many of us struggle with maintaining a clean diet is lack of time. Daily meal preparation can be extremely time consuming, which I think is why a lot of us end up purchasing store-bought food – because it’s faster and easier than slaving in the kitchen after a long day of work. These egg frittata muffins are the perfect solution if you’re looking for healthy, homemade breakfast on the go. They’re packed with vegetables and protein, easy to make, and you can make a large quantity and store them in fridge for a simple breakfast to bring with you to work, or for a quick bite before you head out to start your day. Egg Frittata Muffins Ingredients 6 eggs ¼ cup crumbled goat cheese 1 tbsp green bell pepper, diced 1 tbsp red bell pepper, diced 1 tbsp orange bell pepper, diced 1 tbsp white onion, diced 2 tbsp spinach leaves, chopped Sea salt, pepper and garlic powder, to taste 2 tbsp part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tbsp diced tomato, for topping Instruc...

Spinach and Goat Cheese Phyllo Triangles

Spinach and goat cheese phyllo triangles are one of my favorite appetizers! Typically, feta cheese is used in Spanakopita recipes, but personally, I think it tastes better with goat cheese. And goat cheese is healthier because it’s lower in calories, fat, and dairy than cow’s milk, so it’s easier for your body to digest. Spinach and Goat Cheese Phyllo Triangles Ingredients 1 bag spinach leaves (5 oz. bag) 1 cup crumbled goat cheese 2 tbsp olive oil 6 sheets of phyllo dough, thawed Sea salt and garlic powder, to taste Instructions Preheat oven to 350°F. Add spinach leaves and 3 cups water to a large pot over medium heat. Cover and steam until spinach has wilted, stirring occasionally. Strain and blot spinach with paper towel to absorb excess water. In a large bowl, stir the spinach and cheese together until combined. Season with sea salt and garlic powder. Set aside. Lightly brush a thin layer of olive oil across a sheet of phyllo dough with a pastry brush. Layer another phyl...
