Tea Swap: Relax with Tea and a Snack

I was intrigued by Brooklyn Farm Girl's August Tea Swap. Sounded like fun...and it was!


I joined the festivites and sent the chocolate and tea above to Danielle in Brooklyn, NY. The theme was tea and a snack. I chose chocolate and coconut chai teas and paired it with a chocolate and coconut bar. Hope she likes it.

I don't buy a lot of pre-bagged teas; loose leaf teas are usually a higher quality. But when I do pick a bagged tea, I like Zhena's. Zhena's teas are hand-crafted, unique infusions and they are 100% organic and 100% Fair Trade certified. On top of that, hers is a tear-jerking story. At the bottom, I've included a link to her book. It's inspiring, delicious, and engaging.

Danielle sent me a fantastic package and a lovely note. My boys tore into the package immediately!


Her card really made me smile! Look at those smiling flowers.


And  here's just one of the treats Danielle sent: 'Baked in Brooklyn' flatbread crisps. They were so delicious. I actually took them out to the pool within minutes of opening the box and snacked while my boys splashed and played.


Danielle included some of her favorite teas - Celestial Seasonings because she went to college in Boulder; Bigelow because it's from the northeast. And she picked snacks from local New York companies. What a great package of treats!! Thanks so much, Danielle!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
