From the mountains of North Carolina to the tropical tastes I fell in love with in South Florida, each pick has a story and a spark. You’ll find local blends with a cause, gourmet indulgences from specialty markets, teas that change color, and spices that bring the smoke without the fire. Some I grow, most I buy, all are well-loved—and I hope at least one becomes a new favorite of yours too.

I drink about 8 - 10 cups of tea a day. To say I am serious about my tea game is an understatement. I am obsessed. I use the same cup every day.

If you have a friend who loves tea too - here are some ideas.

I have been (mostly) gluten-free for nearly 4 years now. I am not celiac; however, I definitely have a gluten intolerance of some sort. I am able to make my own bread from scratch with minimal gut issues, which has allowed me to still remember what good bread tastes like. Because of this loophole, I think it makes me qualified to know what a good gluten-free product tastes like, and if it is truly comparable to the real thing. Also, I live in the middle of nowhere, where gluten-free items can be difficult to find. So anywayyyy there's my backstory and credentials- now here are some of my favorites that I have found at my local Target and Walmart!
I'm type one diabetic so try to steer clear of sugary drinks. they're unnecessary things that make my blood sugar spike! I despise the taste of normal diet soda, any brand, most flavors. So when I find something that tastes good and doesn't make my blood sugar spike, I get very excited!

Charcuterie and other grazing boards are an ideal appetizer for entertaining. Often, they can be prepared and served to your guests swiftly. Building a visually appealing board begins with a solid foundation, which, of course, is a beautiful vessel. Many boards can be assembled without cooking, and with the right ingredients, they can provide a complete meal. As a widowed empty nester who often eats alone, it’s important to me to not only present myself with an appetizing plate but also one that’s aesthetically pleasing. Many of the boards I create for myself are served from unconventional vessels. I frequently thrift for mismatched antique tea cups or other oddities that allow me to create a beautiful presentation. You’ll find some sources to purchase gourmet food and boards here, but I also encourage you to use your imagination. Almost any shallow vessel will work if you take the necessary precautions to ensure it’s food-safe. Although edible flowers are not easily sourced, they make a lovely addition to the boards, as well as strategically placed herbs and greens.
