Happy Habitaters

So excited to see this years class of Habitat for Humanity Alt. Break students make it to the news again!


I had the good fortune to participate in Alt Break in 2007 and 2008 while an undergrad at Bentley University. I heard Morgan and team had an incredible week and I'm so proud of them all!

Tea Mixy

I've been doing this for about a year now, and just started sharing the idea with friends. I've been mixing green tea with Tazo Passion tea. The flavor is bold, fruity, and earthy all at once. It's a great replacement to my "second cup of coffee" (in quotes because its technically somewhere around cup number 5 that I stop). Also a great afternoon warm up!

Wednesday Pizza

Since last night was Ash Wednesday and the beginning of lent, I made a veggie loaded pizza to avoid any meat. Normally I'm not much of a carnivore- only eating Chicken and Fish- but since I grew up on Pizza and Pasta during days of abstaining for lent, I figured I'd keep the tradition. Last night I used Whole Foods pizza dough, Whole Foods organic pasta sauce and Whole Foods shredded mozzarella. Toppings included carmalized onions, sauted peppers, and fresh basil leaves. I also added a ring of pesto just before the crust (a tip my Uncle Joe gave me), and lots of oregano, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic!

This year- as in the past, I'm giving up my favorite treat: ice cream. It'll be a struggle, but it makes the first cone after Easter really special :-)
