I had the best day 
Great run. Great food. Super productive morning of work. Super productive afternoon of house work. Simple delicious dinner. Sunshine. No dishes to do. Evening of reading. So thankful!
Shortly after lunch I started on dinner, which needed time to chill in the fridge. I really love making dinner at lunchtime. It saves having to do the dishes twice and takes away that guesswork of not knowing when you’ll be hungry to start cooking.
The kitchen was a disaster after three meals! (FYI, my sink never looks like this 🙂 ) I had dirtied the blender and the food processor!
MY OTHER RECIPES
But the dinner cold noodle salad was a huge hit.
Matt got home at 4 to find me organizing the spice + seasoning cabinet
PRETTY!!! I got rid of the stuff we never, ever use. Those turntables (from BB&B) are cabinet geniuses.
I put Matt to work on his grilling and misc. drawer and the cooking supplies drawer. He was very cooperative.
While I was working, UPS delivered a package of Tazo Tea! I have always been a huge fan of their teas (I lived in Awake in college) so I was excited to find some teas in the box. These are three new kinds – two iced teas and one Cucumber White hot tea.
I made a mug of Zen Green while I worked to hopefully knock away my headache. I also took an Advil, so I don’t know what cured it, but let’s pretend it was the tea 🙂
To add to my make-in-advance day, I made some iced tea for dinner.
It was delicious – much more flavorful than the usual teas I’ve made iced. I could definitely taste the hints of citrus. The box of 6 goes for $4.79, which might be a bit pricey for everyday, but if you’re having company over, I would say it’s worth the cost. It was definitely a stand out.
WIN Some Tazo!
Tazo offered to give tea packages of the new flavors to 3 winners! Leave a comment with your favorite kind of tea to enter 🙂 You’ve got until lunch tomorrow to enter.

It was totally awesome to sit down to dinner with the kitchen looking like this!!
The cold noodle salad was great. I took about 4 ounces of whole wheat spaghetti (soba would have been awesome, but the last time I tried to buy it it was $5 a package compared to $2 for the WW pasta…) and tossed it cooked with broccoli (1 crown, fresh), edamame (1/2 cup frozen), and sugar snap peas (1.5 cups frozen). There was supposed to be bean sprouts too but they were brown and slimy when I got them out to add 🙁
I Tweeted a bunch of you for nut butter sauce ideas and based on the recommendations and what I had in my newly organized cabinet, I shook this together in a jar:
- 2 tbsp hazelnut butter, microwaved slightly to soften
- 2 glugs rice wine vinegar (Nakano from a sample!)
- 3 glugs tamari
- 1 glug sesame oil
- ~1 tsp brown sugar
- Pinch garlic powder
- Pinch dried ginger
- Pinch red pepper flakes
- Pinch salt
- Juice of half a lemon
I think that’s it?
Garnish: Cilantro and sesame seeds (lightly toasted)
Toss together and chill.
I intend to eat this Marathon Val raw chocolatey bar thing for dessert in a little while!

Hi Kath! I also love the Tazo Awake — I have a box of it in my desk drawer at work. I dug into it today, in fact! Crazy how even when it’s super hot and humid outside I sometimes crave afternoon tea because the office is frigid!! I also like mint tea and am still looking for a favorite. I plan to try as many as possible when the weather gets chilly again! 🙂

The cold pasta dish sounds wonderful! I usually serve mine warm, but will have to try it cold next time.
I love just about anything from Teavana. Anytime I can get there I buy a bunch of several varieties. One of my favorites is their Mate vana with some vanilla creamer. Feeds my need for caffiene and strong flavor without coffee.

I love a lightly sweetened iced tea with a touch of mint!
My all-time fav is Green Chai from Stash. I love the spice!

I love Starbucks tazo passion iced tea!
If we’re talking ‘strictly Tazo’ …. Berry Blossom White! …. light, super comforting and just oh so pleasant!
Favorite tea in general?…. well, I have the fortune of having parents who are expats in Beijing, China (the tea captial) and I have fallen madly in love with 100 yr old Pu-Ehr tea (yes, it IS aged and graded like wine vintages).
My grandparents had tea plantations and a tea business in China way back in the day. I would say good green tea is still a staple for me.
I like to blend green and mint teas together for iced tea brews. It’s a cool and refreshing combo. My favorite tea overall has to be the “To Life” blend of Tevana tea. Its a mix of white, red and green teas and is subtly sweet and awesome iced!
My favorite type of tea is Orange Mandarin Rooibos tea with a little bit of sugar…mmmm…delicious!
I honestly only recently started drinking tea so I only know the flavour of two Tazo Tea Latte Vanilla cause I like vanilla so I picked it and Lipton’s Vanilla Caramel Truffle.
My favorite tea right now is coconut green tea, and if it’s iced – with boba.
Dinner looks awesome! And I love that picture of your clean beautiful kitchen with Matt waving in the background. Cute. 🙂
I really like Tazo’s China Green Tips!
I would love to try these teas!!! My favorite right now is roasted brown rice green tea. I also love linden flower/rose/jasmin/violet herbal tea.
Your dinner looks awesome too. Can’t wait to try your nut butter salad dressing.
Earl Grey with skim!
The only time I have seen Tazo tea here is in Starbucks so I would love to win some for myself!
I love almost all green teas…and I LOVE iced green tea!

My favorite tea is Irish breakfast tea!
My favorite tea is raspberry green tea, but drinking Yogi bedtime tea brings back lovely memories from two winters ago when I was having trouble falling asleep and tried it as a remedy. The smell takes me right back to curling up on a couch with the dogs and reading Water for Elephants. It definitely makes me happy and feel very relaxed 🙂
Harney and Sons black currant!! Nothing beats it, hot or iced. Then again, I don’t really drink Tazo… but I’d love to try!

I love Tazo Refresh! Yum and truely refreshing.

Whoops, I posted the comment about the food processor on the wrong post. Internet is being really slow and jumpy, so I lost my place when I went to comment…Dinner and lunch looked SO yum!!
My favorite tea is definitely English Breakfast! With a little bit of milk—perfect with a little pastry in the afternoon.
I haven’t met a tea I didn’t love, but my favorite has always been peach 😉
I can’t think of a tea that I don’t like, actually. Lately I’m on a orange pekoe kick though.
Hi Kath, I’ve made a similar noodle salad before. I LOVE the combo! I never added edamame to mine though, thanks for the idea. My favorite kind of tea at the moment is actually Tazo iced passion tea. It’s so refreshing on a hot summer day! Thanks for the contest!
I am a big fan of Chai tea. I also enjoy Earl Grey.

Tazo passion is my favorite afternoon tea. But the morning always calls for Awake!
Tazo Zen Green Tea is my fav…I love how it is a bit tingly!!
I recently found lipton red tea with strawberry and pom. It is about 6 cents a cup iced! It would be nice to try some of these nice teas that are usually not within my budget.
Black tea with a little milk!
passionfruit green tea, coconut chai, and vanilla maple are my 3 favorites!
the noodles look great, as does the kitchen!
My favorite thing to do each and every morning is to start my day with a hot, boiling cup of water with lemon rinds and ginger. Helps with digestion and starts day off fresh.
I love the Tazo Passion mixed with a splash of lemonade!

Ginger green tea! I love it with a little bit of honey 😀
My favorite is Crème de la Earl Grey from Tealuxe (in Boston!). It smells like cake baking!
I’m on your page with the Awake . . . but sometimes, later in the day when I don’t want caffeine and I client or one of my employees has me all riled up . . . I go for the Calm! . . . I’ve even started having Calm before bed every night

I have recently tried to kick my coffee addiction. And green tea is what has helped me do it! I just love having something warm and comforting with me at the office in the morning. Right now I am hooked on Bigelow Organic Green Tea, but that is because I got a big box for cheap at Costco! I would love to try some Tazo tea!
Thanks for a fabulous blog!
I adore green tea.
I like English and Black Teas. And Chai for a treat! 🙂
Just visited a darling tea room for brunch on vacation and found my new favorite tea: Blue Sapphire (black tea w/ a tropical coconut kick to it!)
It sounded amazing so I was going to get a mini-pot despite the heat but it ended up being the featured iced tea of the day. So lucky! And so delicious.
My favorite tea is black tea – I love iced tea and would love to try Tazo’s iced tea blend!
My favorite Tazo tea (my favorite tea overall!) is their Berry Blossum White-just a little bit of sweet and very light!
Hi
My favorite tea is any black tea, which I love to drink either iced or hot. I really like it rather sweet, which is how I have grown to love black tea living in Kentucky:)
Hmm, hard to pick a favorite tea, I used to work at a Teavana and have a huge basket of teas but I think my favorite is a mix of Rooibos Sweet Amore and Rose Marzipan black tea…so yummy!
Chai is definitley at the top of the list right now.
Chai chai chai, with extra honey 🙂

I love tons of kinds of tea but Tazo teas are definitely my favorite. They have so much flavor and really taste like the way you would expect them to without being too strong. I love Awake when I need a wake up call, Zen at work and Calm before I go to bed. (I may or may not be drinking white vanilla apricot right now!) Yum! I love Tazo teasssssssssss!
