FOOD INSPIRATION

Happy Thanksgiving Week!

As you’re getting ready for your Thanksgiving celebrations & grocery shopping, make sure you stock up on digestive teas: Fennel, Peppermint, and Ginger!

I love having a DIGESTIVE TEA BAR (hot water & assorted teas) along w/ dessert.

Here are my favorite THANKSGIVING PIE + DIGESTIVE TEA PAIRINGS 🫖
🥧 Pumpkin Pie + Fennel Tea
🥧 Pecan Pie + Ginger Tea
🥧 Apple Pie + Mint Tea

Not only will these teas help with digestion after the big meal, sipping on them will also help you linger over & savor dessert!

PS: Choose organic brands since they won’t have artificial flavors.
PPS: Bringing these teas also makes a great host gift!

BONUS: Got Thanksgiving Leftovers?

FINAL THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK AHEAD
THANKSGIVING is a VERB… an action word. Actively give thanks. Gratitude changes everything.
