In need of Tea

Horrible week! This post is about the opposite of what this blog stands for.
The family is not so healthy right now. Jibril has walking pneumonia, and has spread a little of his virus through out the house. YUK! But with this going around I have not stopped our healthy living. We have been drinking so much fennel and anise tea, taking echinacea tablets and getting lots of rest. I think this is the main reason why the rest of us have not got as sick as Jibril (our picky one).

So we are going to have a nice warm dinner tonight “ A Whole Chicken in the Crock-Pot, Homemade Wheat Bread and Steamed Spinach.” After dinner I will put the bones back in the crock-pot and make stock. I plan on freezing a few containers to have on hand.

While typing this I just received a package! It's from my favorite herb site mountainroseherbs.com with more tea and spice goodies inside. They have the best Rooibos tea it's so good! If you don't already know Rooibos teas are herbal infusions made from a South African red bush and sometimes called “red tea”. Rooibos teas are delicious iced or hot and come in a wide variety of flavors. We love the vanilla flavor.

Tea Benefits of Rooibos Tea:


*May support the immune system, promoting well-being
*Helps promote digestion
*May provide relief from an upset stomach
*Naturally caffeine-free, so great for kids!!
