I had a request in March to do a Maria’s Farm Country Kitchen float version of the McDonald’s Shamrock Shake, which I think is minty because it’s green. But the problem is I don’t really care for mint-flavored drinks unless the mint is REAL, and my mint isn’t up yet. It’s usually ready in time […]

Virgin Piña Colada Float—February’s Great Escape
Oh, how I love a virgin piña colada on a beach. I always order one (usually just one a year) on my first day of vacation in a warm place. It’s a delicious confirmation that yes, I really am on vacation in a warm place. Well, I am determined to recreate that happy feeling at […]
Chocolate Milk Float: January’s Dead of Winter Treat
This one was Eve’s idea. I actually was out of float ideas, trying to think what is seasonal and fitting for January—when, I am sorry people, there is NOTHING, nothing, that is in season. (And I don’t want to hear from anyone in California about all the good stuff you have out there. Anything good […]
December Float of the Month: Tangerine-Pomegranate Float

Float of the Month: Apple Cider Float
Consider this your official invitation to the Organic Apple Festival at the Rodale Institute: Once again, I will be grilling up organic hotdogs from Applegate Farms (and a few organic vegan dogs for those of you who must go without meat). But this year I am adding a new treat: Organic Apple Cider Floats! Made […]
Orange Cream Float: The Taste of August
Remember when you were a kid and you got all hot and sweaty from running around outside, and you smelled like crushed grass, dirt, and salt, and you were so hungry, hot, and thirsty, and then you got an orange cream popsicle and you knew in your soul that summer was good? Remember that? I […]
