Its Saturday-Night...

Pretty Penne Ham Skillet

For busy people, so fast meals are a must. This pasta is a tasty change of pace from potato-ham ...

• 1 package (16 ounces) penne pasta
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 cups cubed fully cooked ham
• 1 large sweet red pepper, finely chopped

That looks delicious!

that was a candlelight-dinner

It looked very tasty, and of course, it could have been also romantic!

Thank you for the invitation and recipes.

if someone here shares the morning hour with me... 

The best kind of day ❤️

Yes, in this lifetime I have been there twice and I will do it, again, if I could!

But oh! the other lifetimes that I remember there...

Am I the only one here?

No, I just came in, also!

And I wish you the rest of the weekend will be fabulous for you!

no words ...

The days are getting shorter and the evenings glow early in the candlelight ... time to enjoy a warming herbal tea...

This herbal nerve tea recipe combines skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora), a superior relaxing nervine, oatstraw (Avena sativa), a nervous system trophorestorative, and violet (Viola odorata), an overall nerve restorative, to simultaneously soothe agitation and strengthen the overall function of the nervous system.

Ingredients

0.3 part dried skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora) leaf
0.5 part dried tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum) leaf
1 part dried oat (Avena sativa) straw
0.5 part dried violet (Viola odorata) leaf
0.5 part dried marshmallow (Althea officinalis) root
1 cup boiling water

Directions

• Add all herbs to a jar and mix well to combine. 
• Cover the jar with a lid and store in a cool, dark place until ready to use.
• When ready to prepare the tea, add 1 heaping tablespoon of dried herbs from the jar into a heat-safe mug or container.
• Pour the boiling water on top of the herbs and stir to combine.
• Allow the tea to steep for 15 minutes or longer.
• Strain the herbs from the tea and discard.
• Add raw honey to taste if additional sweetness is desired. Take a deep breath, sip, and enjoy!

That tea will knock the socks out of you, you will be sleep in no time at all!

This is not one of my problems, however, I never lose my sleep for anything...

But I might try it, to see for how long I will be able to sleep, probably two days in a row.

ha ha, well then good night, sleep well, with nice dreams... 

This "Morning infusion" helped me boost my metabolism.

What kind of tea is it, Luna?

You can find him in the pharmacy, Carmen.

Pu-Erh tea and green mate are natural appetite suppressants and attack fat. Holy basil (tulsi), green mate and ginger stimulate brain activity and reduce daily fatigue. Green Rooibos, Chun Mee tea, nettle and lion's tooth act against water retention, bloating and eliminate toxins.

List of ingredients: China chun mee green tea * - Green mate * - Ginger * - Pu-Erh tea * - Nettle * - Oolong tea * - Sacred Basil * (Tulsi) - Lion's tooth * - Green rooibos * - Leaves blackberries * - Rose petals *

Thanks a lot, dear Luna, it sounds fantastic, no wonder it should be had every morning!

Yes, indeed, very beautiful, but not long lasting.
