I get it, celebrating the birth of your blog may be a tad self-indulgent. But that said, With Food + Love is my baby. This is my space. This is a piece of the interwebs that I’ve claimed as my own and that I call home. And I guess you’d say I’m brave enough to let the whole world into it.

You see, each week as I’m creating these plant-empowered recipes, I have you in mind. Yes, you. I pour my heart and soul into the food I make and the photographs that I take. This is an extension of me, my life and my work and I’m proud of it. So – let’s party!! Thank you all so much for reading and spreading the word about With Food + Love. As cliche as it sounds, it really, truly does mean the world to me.

Okay now for the fun part – let’s celebrate with Boozy Green Lemonades! So I love a delicious cocktail and as you know I also love a delicious green juice, I put these two together and I think I birthed something pretty freaking genius.

This Green Lemonade is delicious on its own, but by adding a little boozy spirit, you can really kick it up a notch or two. I suggest pairing it with gin, vodka, clear rum or cachaca.

Boozy Green Lemonade

Makes 4 drinks!!

Ingredients:

  • 3 celery stalks, leaves and all
  • 1 apple
  • 2 lemons + 1 more for garnishing
  • 4 large handfuls of spinach or kale
  • 4 ounces of your favorite spirit {mine is SAGE}
  • 1 cup sparkling water or club soda

One by one, run the celery, apple, lemons and greens through your juicer.

Fill 4 glasses up with ice. Evenly distribute the green lemonade {about 1/4 cup in each glass}.

Pour in an ounce of your favorite spirit in each glass, stir.

Top each glass with a 1/4 cup of club soda and garnish with lemons.

Instagram post 2192583443496352046_3150324 LIKE GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE BUT way, way better. This sautéed green bean dish has a total green bean casserole vibe. But instead of cream of mushroom soup - I used lemony mushrooms and shallots. And instead of crispy onions I used @BlueDiamond Nut Thins for a #hackmas trick. The result is a flavorful and gluten-free side dish that comes together in under fifteen minutes. I served it for Thanksgiving and I’m gonna serve it again for Christmas. It’s one of my favorites. I hope you love it too (recipe below!). // In partnership with. #nutthins #ad

RECIPE:
12 oz. green beans
2 tablespoons olive oil 
1/2 cup shallots, minced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup Nut Thins, crushed

Put the greens beans in a large sauté pan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Heat the sauté pan pan over medium-high heat. Add in the shallots and sauté for 2 minutes.

Add in the mushrooms, salt and pepper and sauté for 5 minutes. Then add in the lemon juice and stir. Lastly add in the green beans and combine.

Plate with the crushed Nut Thins on top. Enjoy!

Instagram post 2186783114221802293_3150324 I REALLY (REALLY) LOVE persimmons. Do you? They’re in season now. And perfect for snacking and salads and the holiday toast I put on my blog this week. They’re also perfect for roasting and puréeing and straining into cocktails like this persimmon punch. // Click the link at @shercastellano and then tap the image for the recipe.

Instagram post 2183738430511447331_3150324 TRAVELING WITH A CHRONIC illness is challenging. But it’s also just a lot like living with a chronic illness. There’s no predicting how you will feel each day. Or if you will have access to the care you need.

My best tips? Travel if you can. Don’t stay home in fear. It’s better to go and be in bed than not go at all.

Pack your essentials. For me that means I always have my heating pad, @amazinggrass green tablets, @mowellens CBD and pain meds on hand.

Plan ahead. Make sure you know how you can get around easily. Don’t expect every city in the world to use ride-share apps (because they don’t). Know where the pharmacy and nearest hospital is.

Go with someone who understands your disease. Like a supportive partner or friend. Someone who is very patient. Someone who makes you feel safe.

But mostly - go easy on yourself. Drink lots of water. Take lots of naps. Don’t overbook your trip. Don’t overthink it. Eat the pasta and the tacos. Drink the wine and the margaritas. Relish the good moments. And rest with the bad. // #endo
Instagram post 2182436878832287359_3150324 THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART OF the Thanksgiving table. A vegetarian, gluten-free sage stuffing with kale and ghee. It has all the classic stuffing flavors and never mushy and with just a little more nourishment. // Click the link at @shercastellano and then tap the image for the recipe.
