Tea better than Paradise Bakery? I think so.

I bought this tea a few weeks ago from Trader Joes. I've never tried it before but I love their Jasmine Green Tea so I figured I'd try it. I love black tea so I was hoping I'd like Trader Joes Mango Black Tea. OMG! This stuff is amazeballs!! Occasionally when I'm at the mall I'll get a large mango tea from Paradise Bakery and for years now I've been looking for a similar tea to make at home. Well I think I finally found it. This stuff is just as good or better tasting. And since it only costs $1.99 a box which is about how much a large tea costs at Paradise Bakery I think we have a winner. I'm only sorry I bought one box of this stuff because I heard that it sells out all the time. I make mine by filling a large glass 3/4 full with ice and then I put one tagless teabag into my ekobrew cup brew it in my Keurig on the 8 oz. setting. It's so awesome that I can make a cup of refreshingly delicious mango black tea at home now. Woot, Go Trader Joes!

Christmas Pics

I know these are three months late but I still wanted to post them. Here's a few pics of the kids opening presents on Christmas day. I bought way too much stuff like always because I love watching the kids open gifts. I seriously have to buy less stuff this year though because the kids have way too many toys. We started a new tradition last year by making Prime Rib for Christmas dinner. The whole family enjoyed it so we'll probably be doing it again this year. Patrick also bought an 8 foot Christmas tree so looking forward to putting it up this year, that thing is freakin' massive. Defintely making Pat do most of the work though since he wanted it, ha.

MorningStar Farms® veggie burgers


I recently tried a Bzz Agent Campaign for MorningStar Farms® original grillers veggie burgers. Patrick, my husband bought a new grill last year so we've been grilling pretty often. One night we decided to have the veggie burgers. Patrick's been on a health kick/diet for about a month now so he was up for trying them. I had my burger plain with ketchup like I've always eaten my burgers at home. I have to say I didn't really care for it, in my opinon it didn't taste at all like meat. On the other hand Patrick thought they were pretty good and he wants to have them again. I think I like beef too much to give it up for veggie even if it is just for one night a week or every once in awhile. For anyone whose into giving up meat one night a week or if you're a vegetarian I'd say try the burgers you'll probably like them. They're just not for me.
