Picture me sipping this while reclining in a soft beach chair with three, no - four, people surrounding me, fanning me with palm leaves. That is the space I automatically transfer to while drinking this ABSURDLY refreshing watermelon-y, lime-y, mint-y, slightly fizzy beverage from heaven. On the refreshing scale of 1 to 10, this watermelon refresher is a 34. Feel me? Watermelon and summer are ...

Ultimate 5 Minute Homemade Hot Chocolate

December 10, 2016 by Annie Chesson 5 Comments

Yes. So much yes. There is nothing better in this world than a hot mug of cocoa warming your hands as the snow is coming down outside. Or, in Kansas' case right now, no snow but BITTER cold temperatures. It was fifteen degrees this morning. Some of you North Dakota and Minnesota natives may be rolling your eyes at me right now, but for this North Carolinian, THAT IS AWFUL. The Cackalackies weren't ...

It's hot chocolate season!! It's chilly outside, the car windows are frosted over each morning, and it's the perfect weather for a blanket, hoodie, fire place, and big steaming mug of hot chocolate. Hot chocolate means two things to me: Winter...aka Christmas...aka snow...(love snow). Comfort. I mean, come on. Is there anything more comforting than cup of hot cocoa? And the addition of ...

Frozen Strawberry Lemonade

April 10, 2015 by Annie Chesson 22 Comments

Lemonade is one of those things that automatically brings the word "refreshing" to my mind. It's the perfect drink for spring and summer, and is made even more perfect (if that's possible) by adding in a box of pureed strawberries. Strawberries, in my opinion, are one of the best things about spring. They are in season right now so they are perfectly juicy and sweet - a perfect contrast to the ...
