Eleven Slushie Cocktails I Bookmarked for Next Summer
I think it's best that we stop at eleven here ;) This is my personal slushie list, inspired by some of my favorite cocktail maestros.
1. Frozen Mezcal Palomas - (Serious Eats)
Number one on my list. From Julia Turshen's much-loved Small Victories cookbook, you know these are going to be hard to beat. Get the recipe here.
2. Frozen Sgroppino - (PUNCH)
Vodka + Limoncello + Lemon Sorbet + Prosecco - preferably enjoyed in the sun somewhere on the Italian coast. Get the recipe here.
3. Color-Changing Frozen Mojito - (Buzzfeed)
Have to admit, I'm intrigued by this one. Red cabbage is infused into boiling water to create blue simple syrup. When the acid in the lime juice hits it, color shift! I think it's in the Tasty cookbook, and you can see it play out in the video. Get the recipe here.
4. Mango Coconut and Orange Vodka Crush - (Heather Christo)
Fresh Mango and coconut milk, offset with orange and lime juices, and vodka. Get the recipe here.
5. Friesling - (PUNCH)
A case for swapping switching out your rosé habit. Some good guidelines and recommendations here. Recipes in right-hand column on this page.
6. Cucumber Gin Slush - (QUITOKEETO)
A go-to this summer. I love the refreshing cucumber, gin, and limoncello trifecta. Get the recipe here.
7. Peach Wine Slushes - (Dessert for Two)
A simple as it gets, in the best way - fruity white wine + frozen peaches. Get the recipe here.
8. Cherry Moscato Slush - (Salt & Lavender)
I always stock up on frozen cherries (because I'm usually too lazy to pit them). Pair those with a bottle of moscato and a spike of lime, and this is where you're at. Get the recipe here.
9. Strawberry Dragonfruit Margarita - (Host The Toast)
In addition to frozen cherries, I always stock up on frozen dragonfruit puree when I come across it. I can imagine a version of this using the puree being A+! Get the recipe here.
10. Frozen Blood Orange Negroni - (The Kitchn)
The classic Negroni is equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. Here it meets the blender and gets rounded out with fresh blood orange juice. Yes, please. Get the recipe here.
11. Bourbon Slush Punch - (Smitten Kitchen)
Finishing strong. Literally. Smitten Kitchen meets Garden & Gun. This one looks a tad dangerous. Get the recipe here.
Also, just in case you want to get serious and roll out your own slushie machine, you're going to want to read this. Straight talk from the master: How to use a slushie machine. And, here's a little tip sheet on Bon Appétit related to crafting your own frozen drinks. Lastly! I also love (and make a lot of) weeknight non-alcohol cocktails, let me know if you'd like me to do a list of those. Enjoy!

3 Window Treatment Ideas for Tall Windows
Beautiful large windows have huge advantages including lots of natural light and the ability to admire inspiring views from the comfort of your sofa. However, you might be wondering how you going to furnish these gorgeous windows. Check out these 3 window treatment ideas for tall windows:

Drapery
Drapery, the most traditional choice for tall windows, makes your room feel dramatic and regal.
When choosing drapery, keep in mind the scale of the room. A 2-inch diameter curtain rod will become lost on top of a 15-foot-tall window, so use bigger drapery hardware and larger pleats for your drapes so you can see the grand effect.
Personalize the drapery to match your home style by using tiebacks, patterns or valances.
Layer different materials to add interest and dimension to your drapery. You can also include different colors to match your home decor. Source: Angieslist
Roman Shades
If you need multiple roman shades to fill a wide wall of windows, make sure you choose a pattern that allows you to stack each shade next to each other so it feels like one long shade. When there are no breaks in between each shade, your window looks streamlined.
Tip: Don’t forget to hang them higher than the windows if your windows are low. When measuring the height you need for the shades, be sure to include the extra material to cover the gap between ceiling and top of the window. Source: Houzz
Top down / Bottom up Cellular
Cellular shades are a clean and modern look to consider as a tall window treatment idea. Their energy efficiency is perfect when the midday sun is streaming through your tall windows, keeping you cool inside. What is most amazing about cellular shades is that they are available in a top down/bottom up feature. The top and bottom of your shade move independently, giving you precise command of how much light is flowing into your home, preserving privacy without sacrificing natural light. Source: BlindsGalore

Ten Whole-Food Plant-Based Tomato Recipes You Should Try This Week
Some of these are definitely going to happen this week. My personal hit-list for peak tomato season.
1. Summer Vegan Green Goddess Salad - (Bojon Gourmet)
Crispy lettuce, heirloom tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, toasted seeds, creamy cashew herb dressing, and a dusting of nutritional yeast. Get the recipe here.
2. All the Tomatoes & Pasta Salad - (101 Cookbooks)
Crispy lettuce, heirloom tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, toasted seeds, creamy cashew herb dressing, and a dusting of nutritional yeast. Get the recipe here.
3. Anna Jones's Arroz de Tomate - (The Guardian)
Inspired by time spent on Portugal's south-west coast, a piquant tomato rice accented with fragrant saffron, garlic, smoked paprika, and bay. Photograph by Matt Russell for the Guardian. Get the recipe here.
4. Weeknight Ponzu Pasta - (101 Cookbooks)
All things green in a quick, weeknight pasta option. It's feel-good food that won't weigh you down - ponzu dressing, green vegetables, and the pasta of your choice. Get the recipe here.
5. Anna Jones's Tomato and Coconut Cassoulet
I love Anna's recipes (and style in general). As she says here, "...sticky roasted tomatoes, the soothing creaminess of coconut milk and sweet little white beans, topped with a crust of sourdough bread." Yes, please. Get the recipe here.
6. Tara O'Brady's Esquites & Yellow Tomato Gazpacho - (Andrew Zimmerman)
Genius take on gazpacho by Tara. My guess is you'll do exactly what I did - click through and bookmark. To keep the toppings WFPB, just use a favorite non-dairy yogurt in place in place of the crema/cotija swirl, and a heart whole grain bread. Get the recipe here.
7. One-pot Summer Vegetables Skillet Lasagna - (Making Thyme for Health)
This is a stove-top lasagna, which makes it perfect for hot summer nights. You've got ripe tomatoes, plus a summer bounty of corn, zucchini, and bell peppers. It's all cooked in a skillet with pasta, topped with cashew ricotta and fresh basil. Sarah includes a GF option here as well. Get the recipe here.
8. Tomato Basil Chickpea Salad Sandwich - (Peas & Crayons)
This is a beautiful riff on something along the lines of a tuna (or chicken) salad sandwich. Fecked with colorful tomatoes, carrots, peppers, arugula, and served on multi-grain, it's one of the most inspired versions I've seen. Use a vegan mayo to keep it WFPB. Get the recipe here.
9. Burst Tomato and Zucchini Spaghetti with Avocado Sauce - (Pinch of Yum)
A love-letter to summer (written in the depths of winter), Lindsay puts her spiralizer to work on the zucchini, rounds it out with whole wheat spaghetti, and tosses it all with a triple green avocado sauce. Burst tomatoes top it all off, and make this a perfect recipe to revisit right now. Skip the Parmesan to keep it WFPB/vegan. Get the recipe here.
10. White Chard Stew - (101 Cookbooks)
And as we round the corner from summer into fall, a riff on ribollita, using anything and everything I had on hand - all the chard in the crisper, plump white beans, potatoes, celery, the last of the last flat of summer tomatoes. Again, just skip the Parmesan to keep it WFPB/vegan. Get the recipe here.
