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.

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!

Pretty Sachet

    Chai tea is my number one all time favorite tea. So good hot, cold, blended with milk…

    Although apple cinnamon holds a special place in my heart this time of year as well 🙂

    I absolutely LOVE the tea you can buy from Aveda, it’s unbelievably delicious. It has sort of a bitter taste at first, but after it’s settled in your mouth and you take a breath in, you get hit with this wave of sweetness that I find impossible to describe. Normally I need some sugar in my tea to sweeten it up, but this one doesn’t need a thing added to it; it’s fantastic on it’s own.

    My favorite type of tea is plain old Lipton’s original. My mom used to make the decaf. type for both her and myself before bed time. We did it almost every night from the age of 8 until I moved away to college.

    If you haven’t tried it yet, you MUST try Celestial Seasoning’s Bengal Spice.. it is a rare find, but have recently found it at my local Whole Foods! It would remind you of a chai/spice tea with LOADS of flavor (I honestly wonder how this flavor has so much more punch then many other herbal teas I’ve had). I like to add a little milk and honey and it is the perfect treat before bed! This is definitely my go-to in the fall/winter.
