Vegan three-bean crockpot quinoa chili. Say that three times fast. This is becoming one of my favorite, go-to autumn crockpot recipes. It's comforting, slightly spicy (appealing to my fiance who isn't a huge fan of super spicy foods), packed with fiber and protein and full of flavor. I really just love crockpot meals. If a crockpot [...]
Ginger teas are a favorite of mine. I have some digestive troubles and ginger has always been soothing for those issues. When Boh reached out to me asking if I'd like to try some teas, one that I was really intrigued by was their Seri Songket Black Tea Lime and Ginger. They also sent me [...]
I've had this tea blog for a few years now. But I've loved tea for a lot longer. I think the first time I ever had tea (that I can remember) was while working on a project in middle school. We were actually making tea to use to discolor a piece of paper and make [...]
Two things that I didn't really need more of: tea and mugs. Guess what I got? My friend Erica told me about the sale Homegoods had on a bunch of cat mugs, so I had to check it out. I decided upon this mug, because it had a cat with glasses that looks exactly like [...]
Have you ever found a tea that just felt like home? A tea that makes you feel so comforted when you drink it, like you could drink it forever and never get sick of it? I have discovered that in this French Blend. My favorite teas are floral ones. I just love the smoothness of them, [...]
I love trying tea from new companies! I am a big tea drinker, and lately have been expanding my tea horizons. But there are a lot of tea sellers and growers out there, and I feel that I've really only scratched the surface when it comes to trying tasty teas. Recently, Nepal Tea, which started in [...]
Sometimes, I just want some comfort "junk food." While in Whole Foods recently, I came across Annie's Organic Vegan Elbows & Creamy sauce, and though it was expensive, I bought a box. I can't believe that I haven't yet tried this in my quest to go dairy-free. I have had Annie's products in the past, [...]
I love potatoes! They are super tasty, hearty and full of vitamins. What's not to be infatuated there? Potato salad has always been a favorite food of mine. Me and my mom would always make it with mayo — I like the creamier Amish style best. But in trying to cut back on my intake [...]
I love brussels sprouts! I like them boiled, baked and even fried. But lately I've been enjoying them roasted. I've had amazing roasted brussels sprouts at restaurants, and wanted to try to make them myself. After searching for a good recipe, I decided to make my own. The balsamic vinegar and oil combination leaves the [...]
I love a good oolong tea, so the Vanilla Orchid Oolong tea caught my eye on a recent trip to DavidsTea. With Huang Jin Gui Oolong from Anxi in the Fuijian Province and a bit of vanilla flavoring and a hint of floral notes, this tea is great for an afternoon pick-me-up. This tea smells almost [...]
