I would say I don’t know why they don’t get more attention… but I do. It’s because they’re more than a dollar more per pound than green peppers! Blasphemy!
Still, sometimes the pretty peppers are worth the extra dough. I guess sometimes you just want to enjoy something bright orange in the middle of October!
Along with a sliced orange pepper, my lunch included a honey mustard chicken salad wrap.
I made the chicken salad by combining honey mustard with a sliced chicken breast. I placed the chicken on a bed of broccoli slaw before rollin’ it up and chowing down.
Good lunch!
Mighty Leaf Tea Giveaway
I know it may sound silly, but something about this cooler weather makes me feel warm inside.
Maybe it’s because I know the days of sweating five seconds after you step out the door are (mostly) gone, or maybe it’s because I know that with cooler weather comes the holiday season. Whatever it is, I’m loving the comfy, cozy feeling of fall.
Along with big sweaters and fuzzy boots, a hot mug of tea enjoyed this time of year takes me to a place of warmth and comfort. When I was contacted by Mighty Leaf to try a sample of the company’s fall teas, I was more than game.
I was already a fan of the company’s chocolate mint truffle tea (I bought it at Whole Foods and blogged about it last October), so I was excited to try new flavors.
The first one up to bat? Vanilla bean!
I enjoyed a hot mug of this tea with my lunch today and it was tasty and warmed my insides right up!
Now it’s your turn to try!
Mighty Leaf is offering one reader the following items:

My favorite tea is Earl Grey. I’ve always loved it, even when I was a kid. I’ve even put it in cupcake batter!
Mary Beth says
I’d love to get this! I actually make my coffee w/ tea leaves in it. I usually take two tea bags (my fave is roobios, spicy and cinnamony!) cut them open and dump the leaves in to my coffee grounds, then brew. So good and makes the coffee (usually flavored) even spicier. Would love to try Mighty Leaf brand, I’m currently a Yogi diehard 🙂
PS–loving the ‘cool’ Florida weather here too 🙂
