    Watermelon Witch Water: A Magical Summer Mocktail

    June 24, 2025 /

    If you’ve wandered through #WaterTok on TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen it: loaded waters. Big tumblers brimming with ice, coconut water, electrolyte packets, and bubbly prebiotic sodas. Some turn neon pink, others stay crystal clear, but all of them promise flavor-packed hydration and a little bit of sparkle for your daily water intake. Honestly, I get it.

    June 17, 2025 /

    This freezer Thai chicken has been a staple in my summer lineup for years. It’s quick to prep, full of bold, balanced flavor, and grills up beautifully – no fuss required. With garlic, ginger, honey, and soy sauce, this marinade brings a delicious sweet-savory profile that works just as well for weeknight dinners as it does for weekend grilling. As always in the Freezer to Grill series, we’re freezing this chicken raw – because the real flavor magic happens during the thaw.

Today’s Magic: The Summer Solstice arrives! As the sun reaches its peak, consider this:

“The longest day of the year is a celebration of warmth, abundance, and light. Ancient traditions marked the Solstice by gathering outdoors, honoring the sun, and sharing gratitude for all that grows. Light a candle, brew a cup of lemon balm or chamomile tea, or take a moment to bask in the sun—even if just for a few breaths. These small rituals connect us to the magic woven into this turning of the Wheel.”

Let today be a little ritual:
Open a window, let sunlight flood in, sip something herbal, or jot down what's blooming in your life right now. Happy Solstice!
