inspire you with a get well cup of tea

get well cupOkay, is it just me or is everyone around us getting sick? I have had so many of my friends tell me they feel like crap and might be coming down with a cold.  I hate it when that happens!  The main reason it sucks to have sick friends is, I’m always sorry to hear they’re feeling less then their best.  You feel kind of helpless…like call me when you feel better, right?

That thought is exactly what prompted me to put together a little cup of care.  If my friends don’t feel good enough to have tea with me, then I will take the tea to them.  Along with a few little sick care necessities that include:  A perfect mix of soothing chamomile and lavender tea from Pannikin, a little homemade tea clip, kiss my face lip balm for chapped lips, honey, emergn-c and the o-so important lemon.felt heartsfelt heartsget well tea cupfelt heartsget well cup supplies

mondays menu, blueberry bread pudding

I love carbs, butter on everything and basically all things I shouldn’t be eating.   I promise I don’t eat like this all the time, but when I do, I go for it.  I took this recipe and altered it just a bit.  I didn’t add the cream cheese “only because I didn’t have any” and in place of maple syrup I used Smucker’s red raspberry syrup.  I also reduced the recipe in half to make a smaller amount. It was really easy and completely satisfied my never ending sweet tooth.  Enjoy!  xoxo
