1. Mystic Dragon Tea (very delicious)
2. local honey sticks (which I put in my tea, the first thing I tried:)
3. Betty Lou's gluten free snacks ( I am not gluten intolerant, but I know a lot of people who are. I took these on a mini roadrip to North Dakota. Now I can recommend these!)
4. A mini tea strainer ( I needed one of these!)
5. More local honey
6. Black Mission Figs ( I must confess I've never had figs. I'm excited to try a new recipe.
7. Trail Mix from the Garden Herb Shop ( this will be a great snack at work)
I decided to use the figs to make fig newtons (recipe available here). They didn't look a whole lot like the store bought kind but they tasted the same!
