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.

Bacon Broccoli Cheddar Crustless Quiche Recipe Review

  Do you get sick of eating the same old thing for dinner? I surely do. As I was looking in the frig for some dinner inspiration, I found I had some leftover broccoli and some eggs. So I thought maybe Quiche would do the trick. I went to the trusty interweb and there were lots of recipes and they looked good, but I didn't have all the ingredients on hand.  Plus, I wanted a crustless recipe since my husband is trying not to eat so much gluten.  I came across this recipe, Bacon Broccoli Cheddar Crustless Quiche .  This recipe makes the quiche high protein and low carb.  If you are watching your sugars, as I am, that is exactly what you need to eat. Amazingly I had all the ingredients.  That narrowed down how I choose the recipe.  I did add a bit of onion which was not on the list.   Since my broccoli was fresh, I put a little butter, chopped onion, and the broccoli in a pan and cooked it until the broccoli was cooked a little.  I also added a little pepper too and used some whole m
