This week is all about foods that I am loving this week.
Hot Teas | Although I am a coffee lover I have been cutting back to no more than one cup per day. Now that it is fall I crave nice warm beverages to warm me up so I after my cup of coffee I have been turning to teas to warm me up and enjoy throughout the day.
Kale Chips | I am in love with kale chips, but I mean these days who isn’t? I think my craving is in over drive because I have enjoyed so many tasty ones lately and my desire for snacks is over the top right now. I must pick up some kale next week to make my own tasty batch of kale chips. What’s your favorite flavor?
Raw Macaroons | Not only am I craving some nice savory kale chips I am also loving these new tasty macaroons.
Harvest Beers | Okay not really a food but I am loving them right now. Last weekend we had a harvest beer tasting and in a few weeks we are hosting a pumpkin beer tasting. If only I wasn’t breastfeeding I could enjoy more than a few sips. What is your favorite harvest or pumpkin beer?
Soups, Stews & Chilis | As son as the leaves start to change my weekly menu has at least one soup, stew or chili on it. Last week I made a delicious squash-bulgar chili (recipe to come) and this week we had split pea soup. What is your favorite soup, stew or chili recipe?
I am so with you! There has been a chill in the air and I’ve been warming up with some teas and soups for sure! I love raw macaroons! What is your favorite flavor? I had some chai spice ones and they were delicious! Kale chips are such a great, healthy treat
I love the vanilla maple ones from coco-roons but we just tried a green tea spirulina from Crudessence in Montreal and they were amazing
I love kale chips! I’ve only made my own once, and I literally stood over the baking sheet and ate almost all of them before I realized what had happened!
Kale chips never make it any further than from the dehydrator tray to our mouths around here.
Tea & Kale chips is where it’s at. Except I cannot make them as fast as hubby & I eat them!
I know kale chips never finish dehydrating in our house before they are eaten
I absolutely agree with everything on this list! Hot (& cold) teas have my heart in a major way! (In fact, I have an ancient post that’s all about tea on my blog, it’s here if you’re interested: http://www.veggieterrain.com/2008/02/foodipedia-tea.html ) The Cranberry Autumn one that you pictured sounds so delicious!
Also, kale chips are THE best! I just discovered that Trader Joe’s started carrying them, although I haven’t tried them yet. I like making them with cashews and nutritional yeast to give ‘em a cheesy flavor.
And harvest beer is always a good choice, too! I recently tried a great pumpkin ale (can’t remember the name of it for the life of me!). It was delicious because the pumpkin wasn’t overpowering, and it tasted fresh, which sometimes isn’t the case with pumpkin ales. I’m excited to give that Southern Tier one (from your post) a try!
We are doing a pumpkin beer tasting in two weeks and I am so exited to try a bunch of different varieties with friends. There is such a wide range from super pumpkin flavored and sweet to really mellow more spiced ones. Currently I am loving the Six Point pumpkin and the Sam Adams Fat Jack.
I love my pea potage recipe, which is so simple, just soaked green split peas, onion, celery, and fresh green peas too. Ooooh fancy beer!
That does sound good- I love pea soup!
