March Foodie Pen Pals reveal!

Hello!

Happy Monday!

happy-monday-2

I hope you had a great weekend!

We did even though the weather was disagreeable. Rain and wind and cold. It’s the never-ending winter. I think it even snowed in some places – looking at you, Maryland! Blah!

Anyway, today the sun is shining, it’s a little windy but not too bad and Lowe’s has dropped off all the materials for the fence building tomorrow.

EEEP!

This month, I was paired up with Michelle from Color In Your Lunch and she sent me some amazing goodies!

If you look closely, you’ll see that the Raspberry Licorice is opened. Thing 2 saw it, grabbed it and ran. It was a battle just to get the wrapper back for the picture!

I had to hide the Cinnamon Apple Crisp Larabar so she wouldn’t steal that one too! I took it to work and had it for an afternoon snack with a clementine. YUM!

Let me tell you a little about those veggie chips. If you come across those in your store, grab them. Grab them ALL.

Then send them to me. 🙂

Okay, fine. Don’t send them to me. You can have them. You will LOVE them. So good!

We haven’t tried the Palak Paneer yet but I have big plans for it later this week. I love Indian food and we definitely love curry so I’m really excited!  I’ve never had Palak Paneer before but I just know we’re going to love it.

If you ever come across a jar of spicy citrus marmalade, you should definitely grab that too. Use it for baking – I’m thinking chicken or pork chops here – or, treat it like a chutney and spread it on some crackers and serve with some goat cheese or something like that. You’ll be all fancy pants if you do that!

I haven’t yet tried the tea but I must admit that I am intrigued.  Aloe vera with cactus.  Has anyone tried it before? I’m imagining a fresh, slightly sweet taste. What do you think?

Talk to me: Do you prefer cold or hot tea? Sweet or unsweet? If sweet, do you sweeten with honey or sugar or what? Do you add lemon? What about whiskey? 😉
