With quarantine in effect, I started to make more meals at home. Quiche has always been a favorite for me, but I had never tried making it vegan. This recipe is so easy and tastes better than I remember from my old recipes; definitely give it a try!

As a White Elephant gift, we received The Southern Slow Cooker Bible that has 365 crockpot recipes by Tammy Algood. One of the recipes that sounded great was the Summer Ratatouille which is what I decided to try out. Of course, being a crock pot recipe, this was very easy to make — here’s a look at our slow cooker ratatouille.

This simple smoothie is so delicious. With just five ingredients + ice, this smoothie is healthy and easy to make.
This berry smoothie is my favorite for a healthy breakfast or an afternoon treat. The sherbet makes it a little on the dessert side, but I like how the fresh berries and juices give me my fruit serving for the day. It’s super easy to make and is delicious!
You’ll need:
- 12 oz. Raspberry Juice
- 9 oz. Orange Juice
- 1c. Scoop of Raspberry Sherbet
- 1/2c. Scoop of Raspberries
- 1/2c. Scoop of Strawberries
- Ice
Combine all of your ingredients into a blender and pulse until the ice is blended & you have that perfect “smoothie” consistency.

Set cooked pasta aside.
Peel, wash, and thinly slice the shallots.
Roughly chop the baby spinach
Mince garlic
Grate the cheese
In a large bowl, combine the half and half, basil pesto, eggs, and greek yogurt. Wisk together until smooth.

I told you I would keep you updated as I found the best Starbucks Refresher recipe, and I think I’ve found it! Since my last post, I’ve done a lot of research about the Berry Hibiscus Refresher and what goes in it. Sources at Starbucks tell me that it’s just “Berry Refresher Juice”, Water, Ice, and Dehydrated Berries. Seems simple enough — but what is in this Refresher Juice?
The first ingredient? WHITE GRAPEFRUIT JUICE! Yes! So, with that in mind, I set off to recreate this summertime (year-round) favorite!

You know I love Chipotle, I always get a sofritas burrito with fajita peppers, green & corn salsa, sometimes sour cream, and guacamole. Their guacamole is amazing; no wonder they charge $2 extra!
Looking around online, I found a video of how to make Chipotle’s famous guac!
This recipe served 6 – 10 people (or just me for 2 days. lol. I love guacamole!) You’ll need:
- 6 large ripe avocados – pitted and peeled. (Don’t skimp on the avocado; get the best you can find!)
- 3 cups fresh cilantro – chopped
- 1.5 cups red onion – finely chopped
- 12 large serrano chilies – seeded and finely chopped
- 12 tsp lime juice (I used 2 limes)
- 1.5 tsp salt
And that’s it! This recipe is so easy and tastes so perfect.
Combine all your avocado in a large bowl and lightly mash with a fork, large spoon, or a mashed potato press.
Add your peppers, cilantro, onions, salt, and lime juice and combine/mash together. I prefer my guac to be a little chunkier so I combine all the ingredients lightly.
And ta-da! You’re ready to enjoy the best guacamole EVER!

If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you know I love me some Very Berry Hibiscus Refreshers (with Light Ice!) from Starbucks; my Gold Card proves that. It’s tangy, but sweet; it has green coffee extract for a natural boost of energy; it’s cool and “refreshing”; it’s pink….you get the idea. It’s amazing! But at $5 a drink (I usually get the Trenta size), I wanted to see what other options were available. Check out my Starbucks Berry Hibiscus Refresher DIY Recipe!
