So, I'm a coffee lover, but I'm not ALWAYS a coffee snob. And, for the record, I don't know about subtle flavor notes. I love a delicious gourmet coffee, but sometimes it's just not in the budget. It stings spending over $10 for a bag of coffee, and there are lots of reasonable coffee out there.

Yep! I'm guilty of loving the meal kits, don't get me wrong I love to cook, and I get excited to try new recipes, but with breeding , training, and show Arabian horses life gets really busy. Then add on top training a German Shepard pup, a husband and two kids, one I home school and the other is in post secondary but still lives at home. Meal kits make my life easy to plan healthy meals for my family and shopping a snap, not to mention if I'm busy at the farm anyone in my house can grab a meal and cook it up!

It’s nice to set some time away to sip away at some delicious tea (and coffee too). Tea is big where my family is from so I just happened to pick up on it. Definitely recommend experimenting and brewing methods and types of tea as we all like different taste profiles. I typically stay away from most store bought tea bags as the flavor is distorted from the compressed bag and the use of lower quality parts of the tea leaves for mass production. I like the natural flavors so I tend to stick with the natural flavors and avoid the blends but I do like a good cup of Earl grey here and there 😁
