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!

Ontario apple time! The cooler temperatures in the Autumn beg for warm and cozy foods and applesauce hits the spot. This recipe makes around 2-3 cups of applesauce.
Cacao Evening Reishi Tonic
Cacao contains serotonin and tryptophan, which boost mood and reishi calms the mind, promotes sleep, and soothes anxiety as it modulates cortisol levels.
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.
