Tea Time

Are you a tea drinker?

When it comes to liquids, I’m pretty much just a water and alcohol drinker.

This morning, however I was feeling pretty sleepy so I decided to try a little caffeine.

Black tea with almond milk + honey

I used black tea that one of my best friends brought back from England, so I made sure to hold out my pinky out in between sips. 😉

Jumping topics a bit, here are two ways to eat comfort foods healthily:

Mac n Cheese with mixed veggies

The mac n cheese has whole grain pasta with cauliflower, almond milk, hot sauce, salts and peppers, and of course, cheddar cheese.

No butter. No oil. No white pasta.

Nachos with veggies

I had Tostitos chips with grated cheddar cheese served along side caramelized onions and my veggie mix (spinach, carrots and corn).

Who says your childhood favorites aren’t healthy? 😀

And on a more grownup level, I made a big pot of quinoa and veggies for the week.

As a kid, I would have run from this delicious mix!

The additions were corn, black beans, onion, soy sauce, peanut Thai sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic. I was out of broccoli and other greens so I decided to use arugula and random other lettuce leaves to pump up the health factor.

Have a Thankful Tuesday!

Questions: If you’re a tea drinker, how do you take it?

What foods do you eat now that you never would touch when you were younger?
