    Tea Tuesday?

    December 11, 2012 - By 
    It’s been a long time since I had a Tea Tuesday post…mostly since I always have a super busy Tuesday and I don’t often schedule my posts. Likely because I’m not very good at planning ahead. I’m sort of a fly by the seat of my pants type of girl. 

     I just had to show you the teacup candles I made. 
    Once again, something I’ve been wanting to do for a long, long time but just never did…until now.

    I’m totally in love with them. They turned out perfectly.  
    I couldn’t have imagined better results! 
    Hooray! Love it when something comes out right!

    Green tea??

    July 24, 2012 - By 

    This is what I’m drinking this morning instead of tea. It’s a recipe I discovered on Pinterest.

    I tried it yesterday since I had everything on hand and was so surprised at how good it tasted. You can’t taste the spinach at all!!

    Here’s a link to the recipe.

    I’ll be swinging by Kimmie’s blog later to see what my friends are up today…you should too!

    Juice anyone?

    June 26, 2012 - By 

    I’m raising my glass to Kimmie and my Tea Tuesday friends. My glass happens to have juice instead of tea today.

    I’ve come up with my own flavor combo that is pleasing to my taste buds. It did take some trial and error with some pretty nasty glasses of juice to choke down.

    I have so much more energy and less cravings for “naughty foods” on days that I juice first thing in the morning…well, second thing.  I have to have a cup of coffee first thing.

    Halle’s morning power juice:

    1 beet
    2 carrots
    2 stalks celery
    1 inch chunk fresh ginger

    Organic veggies taste the best but I have made my juices without when I couldn’t find what I wanted.

    I currently have a Jack LaLanne power juicer but what I really want is a Champion Juicer.  My parents had one when I was a kid. It was avocado green. Yup…it was the 70’s.  I drank carrot juice with bee pollen sprinkled on top most mornings.  Hated it then.  I would hold my nose and slam it down.
    Funny how our taste buds change over time.


    Happy Tuesday everyone!
