Matcha Bliss Balls by Nutriholist
It’s #MatchaMonday which for me equals to any excuse to drink and eat matcha. I absolutely love how versatile matcha can be. My favorite way is the traditional method. Water and matcha combined well and easily adjusted to the strength I prefer. I have always been a traditionalist by heart with a flare for experimentation. Matcha also makes for a great… Read more →
White Chocolate Chip Matcha Shortbread Cookie Recipe
First, thank you so much for being patient with me. It has been a crazy end to 2015 and even crazier beginning to 2016. All good but still time consuming. In the mean time I have gathered quite the list of blog posts I need to jump on. This was a request from my Facebook Page. I made these… Read more →
Now Entering Beast Mode
Holy expletive Batman! Made my first ever Bulletproof Matcha Latte Friday morning before a very intense strength and cardio class at my gym.

Summing Up Summer

It also means creating with tea and believe it or not activities unrelated to tea. I am certain there were a gasp or two when reading that. Let… Read more →

And Now Back To Your Regularly Scheduled Programming
If there is one thing predictable about life is it’s unpredictability. It has been a while since I last posted. Maybe a little over a week now. It’s been crazy at the Carter House. This is my daughters last week of school so naturally this means chaos. Mass hysteria about which dress to wear, how to do her hair, and… Read more →
Matcha vs Sencha Challenge Day 6
Rough start today. Son woke up kind of early and I was so tired from all the craziness from yesterday that I truly wanted to just stay in bed. Of course this is never an option for the mom on the go. So I get up against my own good judgement and soldier on. It helps that on the ride… Read more →
Matcha vs Sencha Challenge Day 5
I’ll make this one quick. I plan on tomorrow’s post to be the final of the daily series. I will still continue the challenge for an entire month and will post once a week until the month is up. I would have continued daily but I’ll be honest it is a bit much for me plus I don’t think there… Read more →
Matcha vs Sencha Challenge Day 4
“One of the most predictable thing about life is just how unpredictable it really is.” I am sure this quote originated somewhere more amazing then where I first heard it which was in the Disney movie Ratatouille. I said last week that this week was going to be business as usual and it has proven to be far from that.… Read more →
