Biscotti & Tea
I have never made biscotti before, but this fantastic recipe from The Monday Box blog for Cinnamon Red Hot Biscotti Cookies peaked my interest to give it a shot.

Autumn Scones & Tea
Golden leaves with tinges of amber are starting to display here on the stream. Pumpkin spice is…well, EVERYWHERE, and one starts to seek cozy comforts indoors with baked goods!

It’s Pumpkin Time
It’s officially fall! So, it’s time to officially introduce you to my first official fall mug that I bought last month. I tried a free sample of pumpkin pie spice chai this morning. Can’t say I am a huge fan, but it seemed appropriate for my first sip in this mug. Cheers!

Blue & White Tea
Our long holiday weekend, remembering and honoring those who served and paid the ultimate price, has started out very well weather wise. I should be using red, white, and blue as my theme, but due to the spectacular weather, I’m feeling a bit more summery and opted for just blue and white – summers other
