Pretty Peppers + Giveaway

October 5, 2010 by Julie 483 Comments

How pretty are orange peppers?

Orange Peppa

I would say I don’t know why they don’t get more attention… but I do. It’s because they’re more than a dollar more per pound than green peppers! Blasphemy!

Still, sometimes the pretty peppers are worth the extra dough. I guess sometimes you just want to enjoy something bright orange in the middle of October!

Along with a sliced orange pepper, my lunch included a honey mustard chicken salad wrap.

Tuesday Lunch

I made the chicken salad by combining honey mustard with a sliced chicken breast. I placed the chicken on a bed of broccoli slaw before rollin’ it up and chowing down.

Chicken Close Up

Good lunch!

Mighty Leaf Tea Giveaway

I know it may sound silly, but something about this cooler weather makes me feel warm inside.

Maybe it’s because I know the days of sweating five seconds after you step out the door are (mostly) gone, or maybe it’s because I know that with cooler weather comes the holiday season.  Whatever it is, I’m loving the comfy, cozy feeling of fall.

Along with big sweaters and fuzzy boots, a hot mug of tea enjoyed this time of year takes me to a place of warmth and comfort. When I was contacted by Mighty Leaf to try a sample of the company’s fall teas, I was more than game.

I was already a fan of the company’s chocolate mint truffle tea (I bought it at Whole Foods and blogged about it last October), so I was excited to try new flavors.

The first one up to bat? Vanilla bean!

I enjoyed a hot mug of this tea with my lunch today and it was tasty and warmed my insides right up!

    I love mixing mate with a white chai from Teaopia! Mate is so energizing and the chai has a wonderful, complex flavor.

    Peppermint tea mixed with a dash of vanilla extract and a vanilla poppy seed scone on the side! Perfect morning drink that compliments a perfect light breakfast or midnight snack!

    I wish the red, orange, and yellow peppers were as cheap as the green ones! Did you know that the green ones are just unripe versions of the others? I’ve read that in a few articles… I don’t get why they are so much cheaper!

    Those teas sound amazing! I will have to look for them the next time I’m at the store!

    I love, love, love a nice cup of green tea. I enjoy the versitility of it. I can make it hot, or enjoy it iced, and I can add honey, cream or sweetner. The best part is that it is a great alternative to coffee, and is known to be quite the metabolism booster. It’s my favorite!

    I love Tazo Awake for my daily cup with milk and no sugar. I also enjoy chai tea when I want something sweet. I’ve had some of the Mighty Leaf teas before, but am game to try more. I like the ones I’ve tried. I haven’t seen the brand in my local grocery store though.

    I agree with Brianne! Chai tea with milk is cold weather perfection!

    On a completely unrelated note, I have run on and off for about 3 or 4 years. Then, during my freshman year of college, I turned to the workout program Insanity. Now I’m a sophomore and have used Insanity somewhat regularly for about four months. I’m ready for a change, and you’ve inspired me to train for a half marathon in February. Any tips?! I’m nervous!!!

    Yum, I love tea! I don’t think I have a favorite because it changes constantly, but I’m currently drinking Tulsa Tea Red Mango. It’s yummy!

    I’m also been wondering, with all your talk of cool weather, teas, and sweaters, does it actually get cold in Florida? I thought it was warm all year round. Do you ever need a sweater? Just curious!

    Have a great day!
