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!

The Deets

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

    Ever since I got back from London I enjoy a mild Earl Grey or Breakfast Blend with milk and sugar. It’s a timeless classic!

    I am typically a coffee drinker, but I am all for tea when I’m feeling like I need a little detox. Yogi raspberry tea for liver and intestinal health makes me feel like I’m doing my body some good, but is so tart and delicious, too!

    I really, really like Sleepytime Tea (Extra). It really knocks me out at night (yay, Valerian!), and as I sometimes suffer insomnia, that’s very helpful. Plus, I don’t need to put anything in it. Mmm.

    Peppermint tea! I drank it pretty much everyday while I studied abroad in Australia. Now everytime I drink it I am reminded of the great times I had there and how much I’d like to visit again.

    I have a love affair with tea, whether it’s iced or hot. One of my favorites is definitely a black tea called Barry’s. It’s a favorite in Ireland, and once I enjoyed it over there I definitely had to have it here 🙂 Good thing they sell it all over. Did you know Ireland has the most tea drinkers? Take my word for it, they know their tea!

    I love straight up black tea – earl grey or english breakfast. It reminds me of my mom who drinks 10 cups of tea each day, using a new cup each and every time. What happens to the used cups, you ask? They are left all over her house!

    I would LOVE to try some Mighty Leaf tea too… I’m super excited about fall & perfect hot tea-drinking weather. I’m a fairly new tea drinker, so I have only tried a few. Ginger Snappish & Sleepytime teas are my favorites so far. Pick me, pick me to try these teas! 🙂

    I heart all tea- so narrowing it down would be quite difficult. But I’d say what I tend to drink the most is just simple and plain unsweetened iced tea…

    I would LOVE to try these – I went on vacation a few months ago and the hotel I stayed at had MIghty Leaf. I loved it so much I took the bags they left in the room home! (hey, they’re included with the room, right??) I normally drink any chai tea I can get my hands on.
