Fun Friday post headed your way!..

1. Rainbow Sangria!

I am in love with this pretty Rainbow Sangria recipe. You need a variety of fruits, some simple chilled white wine – and a few other ingredients. I like this recipe because you can make sangria-by-the-glass (instead of making a massive pitcher – good for a party of 2!)

Rainbow Sangria
makes one tall glass

1 cup white wine
2-3 Tbsp fresh orange juice
2 Tbsp apple juice or another sweet juice (pear works nicely)
1-2 Tbsp ginger ale (or other fizzy soda – apple or orange soda works well too)
rainbow colored fruits (I used: strawberry, tangerine, pineapple, green grapes, blackberries and blueberries)
optional: 1 Tbsp brandy

To Make: Add the fruit in rainbow order to a tall glass. Then pour in the wine and fruit juice. Top it off with the ginger ale. Add the brandy over top as well if using.

Virgin-ize it! You can use these same rainbow fruits for lemonade, iced tea, fruit spritzers and even fizzy spa water. Agua Frescas too.

2. VegNews March+April Issue – Food Feature

Lastly, I’m super excited that my photography will be featured in the upcoming March+April issue of VegNews. I prepared and shot photos of recipes (exclusive for this issue of VegNews) by Robin Robertson – author of the vegan cookbook Global Vegan Kitchen.

And let me just say that these recipes all tasted AMAZING. So be sure to snag an issue of VegNews to make them!
