TAZO Passion Herbal Tea Product Review

As I was looking for ways to lower my blood pressure, I read that hibiscus tea might help, after reading about the benefits of  TAZO Passion Herbal Tea, I thought I'd give it a try.

Well, I was in a hurry to grab some and this is what I found at Weis Grocery Store for $3.99, TAZO Passion Herbal Tea.

Nice packaging!

Ingredients are hibiscus flower, Natural flavor, citric acid, licorice root, orange peel, cinnamon, rose hips, lemongrass, hibiscus, and elderberry extract for color.

I poured hot water over the tea bag into the cup and the color immediately starts to come out.  It says to steep for 5 minutes.

I took the tea bag and put in a second cup to see what would happen. There is still color but a little weaker.

So, I tasted the first cup after letting it steep for 5 minutes as required. I heard no longer or it gets bitter.

My thoughts are...

It is very tangy/tart without sugar or honey. I decide to put the two cups together and cool. Then I added honey.

I liked it cooled and with honey. I did put about a tablespoon of honey to even out the tartness.

Final review...

Yes, I like it. I will be using this tea as a refreshing cool drink and not warm. It did not lower my blood pressure like I was hoping but maybe if I drink it daily?

If you are a tea drinker, this is a  good one! If you want it sweet, add real honey after it has cooled and you will get those good nutrients from that as well.

When or if you try this tea, let us know what you think! Comment below.

Keep it Sassy,

Cathy

Cathy and Momma Sassy try BLT DEVILED EGGS

BLT DEVILED EGGS

Mom  and I decided to do something different and thought deviled eggs was a good one.

We had all ingredients so thought we would give it a try.

INGREDIENTS

1 dozen hard-boiled eggs peeled

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon honey mustard -- we made our own

4 strips candied bacon diced small -- we used plain bacon

2 handfuls small cherry tomatoes quartered

1 handful basil leaves chopped -- we used dried basil

Chili powder to dust

We had the ingredients, adjusted the recipe for 3 eggs,  boiled the eggs and cooked bacon in microwave.

Funny story! Mom dumped the bacon on the paper towel. I said, "Make it nice." She shook her head. I said, "We are on Social media you know!" She tried to straighten it up. LOL!

INSTRUCTIONS

Slice each egg in half lengthwise and remove the yolk. Put all the yolks in a small mixing bowl and all the whites on a platter.

Add mayo and honey mustard to the yolks and mix until well combined and sort of fluffy.

Note: We advise adding honey mustard first then the mayo.

Fold in the diced bacon, tomatoes, and basil (reserving a little of the basil for a garnish)

Spoon filling into the centers of the whites. Garnish with basil and dust with chili powder.

After we mixed it together, we decided it is best to ad the honey mustard first and adjust the mayo after.  Too wet for us.

Not too pretty but tasted good. I am not a fan of the sweet deviled egg. Next time, I will leave the honey out of it and just used plain mustard.

Try it sometime and see what you think. 

Thanks to https://thestayathomechef.com/ for this easy recipe.

Baked Mexican Street Corn is yummy!

 

Baked Mexican Street Corn is a different way to eat fresh corn! We couldn't find the Cotija cheese so we used Feta instead. We both thought the dish was pretty good although Mom did not like the Feta cheese.

Here's what you need to make this tasty recipe:

Ingredients

• 4 ears Corn
• ½ cup Sour Cream
• ½ cup Mayonnaise
• ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
• 1 ½ cups Cotija cheese crumbled

**NOTE: We did add some cilantro, lime zest and juice to the mixture because I noticed the other recipes were calling for it. 

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and chili powder. (Plus, we added cilantro, lime zest and lime juice!) Cover and refrigerate until the corn is ready.
3. Shuck the corn and remove all corn silk. Cover each ear of corn individually in foil, and wrap tightly. Place directly on the preheated oven rack and bake for 45 minutes.
4. Remove the corn from the oven, unwrap the foil, and let the corn cool off for approximately 30 minutes. (If you skip this step, the sour cream/mayonnaise will just melt and NOT adhere the cheese to the corn!!!)
5. Once the corn is mostly cooled, slather each ear in the sour cream / mayonnaise / spice mixture. Press the crumbled cheese into the corn on all sides.  

Recipe found here Basil and Bubbly

Baking is a great way to to cook corn. I'm glad we tried it!

Have you ever tried Mexican Street Corn? How'd you like it? We'd love to hear from you, just comment below.

Stay safe and healthy and

DON'T FORGET TO BRING YOUR SASS!

DIY Jack-O-Lantern Floral Centerpiece

I was looking for something different to make for the Halloween season and found this DIY on Pinterest. It  an easy craft and you can find all the items easily at your local Walmart, Dollar Tree and craft store. Let's get started!

Supplies:

• 3 pumpkin pails - Walmart
• Off white spray paint, preferably for plastic - Walmart
• Metallic acrylic paint - Walmart
• small paint brush - Dollar Tree
• hot glue gun  - Walmart
• hot glue sticks - Dollar Tree
• Jute cord - Dollar Tree
• some sort of weight: sand, rocks, etc.
• assorted fall flowers - Dollar Tree

Instructions:

The first thing I did was spray paint the pails. If I had thought more about it, I would have glued them all together first then spray painted. But I painted them all individually. You may want to seal them afterwards as I found out the paint didn't adhere as well as I thought. I might go back later and seal. 

It took a few coats to cover. It didn't take long between coats to dry. I left the handles on because it was easier to handle them and transport them back to my craft room and finish the project.

After a few hours of dry time, I painted the faces with a metallic paint. It took a couple of coats of paint to make it look super gold.

After all the paint was good and dry, I put a large rock in the bottom pail for stability.

I glued the pails together with hot glue and when along the outside after they were all together and added more glue.

Jute cord finished this project off and hid the messy glue. I tacked the cord at the ends with hot glue.

I had a bunch of fall silk flowers in my stash and used them to fill the top.

I'm super happy with this craft. As you can see I didn't line the faces up on purpose because I thought it would add a little character to the craft.

Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup Mix Review

 ****UPDATED 8/5/23***

Cathy's review on Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup Mix

🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲

Well, I wanted to try a chicken dish and thought chicken soup would be a great start because I can freeze what I don't eat right away. Progresso soups are really pretty good so I thought why not try the mix. I have purchased the can soups and liked them.

Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup Mix 

Looks easy and all you do is add cooked chicken  and water!

Instructions on the back of the package for the stovetop, slow cooker or instant pot.

8 cups of water in a 6-quart pot. Whisk in the contents of the pouch.

Bring to a boil.

I cooked chicken and added it as soon as I could so the 

noodles get the meat flavor. They ask you to wait 

until boiling but I don't follow instructions! LOL!

Like I said, I added chicken right away and 

simmered after it reached boiling point. 

Simmered for 20 minutes.

Smells and looks great!

I loved it! 

I like soups and will definitely use this mix again in the winter because I want to add more cooked veggies to it. Enough flavor to add more water, as well. This is a great shelf-stable product to buy early and have on hand! Try it sometime!

You can purchase it at Walmart → Progresso.

I will try to make or taste something new once a week, so make sure you watch my Cathy Conversation and Coffee segments on Mondays!
