Hot Cinnamon Oolong Tea

I love cinnamon tea.  My favorite by far is Harney and Sons Hot Cinnamon.  I get it from Wal-Mart and Target.  I know Barnes and Noble carries it too.  I have been experimenting with hot tea for a while and found that I really don't like hot tea except my Hot Cinnamon.  Trying to make my mornings a little healthier, I decided to try my hand at making a hot drink similar to THM's Shrinker.  I don't like The Shrinker and I don't like hot tea but, amazingly enough, I like my Hot Cinnamon Oolong.
Hot Cinnamon Oolong Tea
You need:2 oolong tea bags1 cinnamon tea bag1 3/4 cup water1/2 tsp cinnamoncouple sprinkles cayenne (to taste)1/2 cup Cashew Milk1 tsp collagen1/4 tsp sunflower lecithin3 tsp Pyure 
Steep tea bags in boiling water until cool enough to handle.  (often I let them sit too long and have to rewarm them..silly me!) 
In a blender add the rest of the ingredients.  Pour in hot tea and whir.  (Be sure to follow safety practices for blending hot items) 
Pour into your favorite cup and enjoy!
This is very much like a cinnamon latte.  It is creamy and yummy.

 This is also pretty healthy.  Each of the below ingredients have numerous health benefits.  These benefits are opinion and NOT medical advise.
  • Cinnamon can help fight diabetes and help fight infection.
  • Collagen can help with your joints and help you detox.
  • Sunflower Lecithin can help with brain function and your nervous system.
  • Oolong Tea can help fight obesity and help with heart disease.
I drink this a couple of times a week.  It is cheaper than Starbucks and much better too!

Good Girl Moonshine (GGMS)

GGMS or Good Girl Moonshine.  A drink made of apple cider vinegar, water and sweetener.  Pearl and Serene of Trim Healthy Mama coined the phrase Good Girl Moonshine  as an all day sipper and made it popular, but drinks with apple cider vinegar and ginger date back to at least the Laura Ingalls Wilder days. In those days Laura called it Ginger Water.   In the first chapter of  "The Long Winter", Laura talks about Ma sending them ginger water to drink.  A little Prairie Moonshine if you will! If you are adventurous, you can try the "ginger water" recipe below that was in one one of my kids workbooks back in the day. I love my moonshine but I think that the 2 cups of vinegar called for in that recipe might be a little strong. You could also try one of the recipes  here or here  or here .  I have never tried a version with  brown sugar but it is on my to-do list. Let's talk about the vessel for GGMS. Glass quart canning jars are the preferred vehicle for ho

Morning Chocolate Craving

Image
So metimes I just feel like having chocolate.  There is no rhyme or reason, chocolate just sounds good.  Unfortunately, I can't blame my love of chocolate on my mother like I did  all things grape.   Well, I can but not for depriving me of chocolate...more for giving me chocolate!  My favorite chocolate thing ever is Chocolate Flavored Pudding Cake.  My mom would make one of those and she and I would finish it off in a night and a day.  My dad's favorite flavor was lemon flavored pudding cake.  I didn't learn to appreciate that flavor until later in life.  However, I still have my love of chocolate.  I have tried several "low carb" chocolate foods.  Sadly, most are pretty terrible in my opinion.  Just being real.  But, there are some that I can pallet and a very few that I really like.  Breakfast this morning were my two favorite low carb chocolate favorites.  First off is Briana's Superfood Brownie Single.  It is made with okra of all things.  But it so goo

I Am 50

OK, ok, in 3 years I'll be 50.  But that's like half a century.  Half. A. Century.   Seriously, when did I get this old?  In my head I am still in high school rocking out to Whitesnake, Meatloaf and Bon Jovi, singing to Billy Joel and Dan Fogelberg songs, dreaming that one day I will meet Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton and knowing someday I will be a roady for Van Halen.  In real life I am a wife of 22 years, a mother of three grown children, I own a house, have two jobs and, in case anyone is interested, I am not nor have I ever been, a roady for Van Halen.   I am not going to dwell on this but we have had a rough few years.  At the end of 2015 we said 2016 would be a great year.  Nope.  That was a misnomer.  At the end of 2016 we said 2017 would be a great year.  NOPE!  January 11 of 2017 rocked our world and to say the least, it has not been a great year.  I can only hope 2018 will be better. However, the information I have at present is leading me to believe it wont be.  Bu
