Cocoa Mate Mate TAZO Tea

I wanted to share with you all my 2 new favorite fall finds. The first is “Cocoa Mint Mate Tea” made by TAZO. Yummy to say the least. About 15 years ago I quit drinking soda and coffee and went to strictly water which is a good thing, but lately I was craving something hot to drink and my normal hot drink is hot water with a splash of lemon. I wanted something with just enough flavor to hit the spot but not be addictive like soda and coffee. I decided to stroll down the tea isle in the grocery store and spotted the Cocoa Mint Tea and thought to myself I love anything chocolate and the hint of mint will set it off nicely, I will just pretend I am drinking a steaming cup of mint chocolate cocoa. Don’t get me wrong nothing takes the place of a good Hershey bar, but this seems to do the trick, it’s a keeper. I do give it a little dab of cream and an extra dash of mint from the garden but I have to say it would be tasty without the extras. 

 

Chicken Tortilla Soup in a Crock Pot

My second favorite fall find is “8 Can Chicken Tortilla Soup” not only is it delicious it take about 5 minutes to make and for me that’s a keeper. This is great for after a football game or any time you have just a few minutes to prepare a meal. I do mine in a crockpot, because it’s easy,  but it could be heated on top of the stove too. All you do is open 8 cans, dump them in the pan, and heat. What could be easier than that? My family is not a big leftover fan so I get excited when they don’t want to eat it a second time that means I get it for lunch the rest of the week, no disappointing face here. Below is a printable recipe if you would like to give it a try.

    Good Morning Dawn,
    I gave up diet coke and I was never a coffee drinker so I usually drink water or ice tea and this mint tea sounds yummy. I am going to try it for a nice winter drink. The soup recipe sounds yummy too. Great for Football Sunday’s. Have a great week.

    Nice to meet someone else who doesn’t drink coffee. I drink lots of hot water … a favourite to add is honey & a piece of ginger root, or a slice of lime. I’m also an herbal tea drinker and spearmint or peppermint are my favourites but I love all other flavours too.

      Linda, I picked up a spiced variety to try too and will report on that later. It is snowing here today so warm tea hits the spot.

    Thanks for these tips, Dawn! I will look for that tea because I like to have something hot to drink in the afternoon during the winter. And I printed your recipe too, but I will have to substitute some items because I have to work around Leo’s chicken allergy!

      Jane, use veggie broth and skip the chicken all together, you wouldn’t miss it at all.

    I don’t think I’ve ever see a recipe that looks so easy.
    I have two chicken breast thawed, so I’m going to try this!
    The tea sounds yummy, but my favorite is Taos liquid Chai Tea.

      Kim, I love cold chai tea but only treat myself once a year to it. I like it with lots of vanilla cream, so that’s why I only have one glass a year or I could be come addicted to it and all the calories are not needed.
      Can’t wait to hear if you like the soup:)

    I am not much of a hot beverage drinker, but that tea sounds pretty good.

    I thought the picture showed chili and it made me crave some homemade chili – and I don’t cook. I am thinking that it would make a great dinner.

      Carol, I love chili too and this is quite similar to that. It is a perfect dinner with some homemade bread.

    Claudia, I love coffee when I was a drinker of it but wanted to get away from caffeine. Rather than go decaf I went cold turkey and gave it all up. I needed your pretty anthro cups for my pic.

    Hi Dawn, I don’t drink soda but do drink coffee in the morning and tea-either hot or iced in the afternoon. From mid-afternoon through the evening I only drink water with lemon. I love all the Tazo’s teas but this one sounds especially yummy. I have gotten used to Yerba Mate-but for most people, it is a strong tea that you need to learn to like. The chili/soup sounds great-but I’d have to leave the cream of chicken out-I’m gluten free but could probably substitute something else. Thanks for sharing these!
    Hugs, Noreen

      Noreen, I like strong tea too. When I was a coffee drinker I drank it like mud, very dark. I bet you could leave the cream of chicken out and it would be just fine.
