Festive Matcha Drink
More matcha you say? It is green so perfect to include in a holiday blog! One of my dear friends told me about this combination of cacao butter and matcha last year and I thought it would be a match made in heaven. Decadent.
1 cup of peppermint tea
1 tsp matcha (I love Grand Cru matcha from David's Tea)
1 Tbsp raw cacao butter
1 tsp of raw honey
1/2 cup or so warmed milk of your choice (I like Macadamian or oat in this drink)
1 drop of food grade peppermint essential oil (optional but really increases the wow of this drink)
1. Boil some water and make your favourite peppermint tea.
2. Combine all the ingredients in a blender and enjoy!

Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies
This cookie recipe is one I bake with my family every year leading up to Christmas. It is the main cookie the kids leave out for Santa. They don't fall apart and are easy to decorate.
Cacao Evening Tonic
A wonderful iron-rich tonic that supports digestion (chicory), and is immune boosting (reishi).
Heart Healthy Beet Pesto
I love beets. Yes I am Polish but I also love and appreciate all their health benefits. Beets have been well-studied for their ability to reduce blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for heart disease.
