Chocolate, Coffee & Cherry Protein Shake

September 28, 2016 by Kristin

Chocolate Coffee Cherry Shake

If you’ve been following along on Instagram, it’s impossible not to notice how many “#media” burgers I’ve eaten recently. I’m fairly certain I’ve consumed more burgers this month than ever in my 33 years. And while I love eating {and photographing} a beautiful burger, my body just isn’t equipped to handle heavy food. Much like a child who’s eaten too much candy, I get sick and tired and grumpy {like really grumpy}.

But I’ve been having so much fun bouncing around town with my favorite bloggers/Instagrammers that turning down events doesn’t feel like a good option {right now}. To combat the negative, I’ve tried to keep non-media meals nutritious and light and not feel obligated to eat everything on my media-meal plate {only eating one bun or splitting with a friend}.

This chocolate, coffee, and cherry shake is my go-to when I’m on a tight morning schedule because it allows me to combine caffeine, protein, vitamins, and a serving of fruit. If things don’t go as planned throughout the day or I have an event, I feel better having had at least one balanced meal.

The Ultimate Bloody Mary {Seriously}

August 26, 2015 by Kristin

Perfect Bloody Mary

I’m asked often why I started FoodFash.  The truth is, there’s a variety of reasons and the reason or reasons I choose to share are completely dependent on the audience and whether or not I want the conversation to continue.  But what I’m going to share with you now, and I promise this is going to segue into the beauty of a bloody mary pictured above, is one of the reasons why I continue to create.  And it’s because I’m fastidious.  And as much as I enjoy new life experiences, I enjoy making them my own even more.

Bloody Mary Ingredients

Last weekend, I ordered the most ridiculous bloody mary ever.  It was 40 dollars worth of out-of-control.  Sure it had some usual suspects like bacon and peppers.  But it was also topped with sushi, pork belly, a grilled cheese, and the list goes on.  And though I wouldn’t have traded the experience for any other {it’s what led me to create this post,} it was of the most disgusting bloody marys I’ve ever tasted.  The mix was sweet, the toppers were heavy, the portion was nap-inducing – it was unfinishable.  I knew could do better. And I did.

Bloody Mary Garnish Ideas

The recipe below is for the bloody mary of my dreams: light, not sweet {at all}, slightly spicy, and a solid horseradish kick.  I don’t want to feel sick ever, but especially after a brunch cocktail.  And I want enough damn toppings to last through the entire drink!

Suggested toppers:

  • Bacon!
  • Shrimp
  • Smoked Oysters
  • Pickled Okra
  • Pickled Asparagus
  • Giant Spanish Olives
  • Cornichons ({pickles}
  • Maldon salt {for rim}

P.S. Celery to a bloody mary is like honeydew to a fruit salad – nobody wants it.
