Butterfly Pea Flowers 

Edible petals, Butterfly Pea Flowers has been used as a “smart drug”  to enhance memory, cognition and intelligence. Butterfly Pea Flower has long been recognized in Ayurveda and other forms of traditional medicine for its medicinal purposes. Tinctures made are beneficial for skincare, haircare, bodycare, and beautycare. 

Butterfly pea buds themselves have a subdued flavor similar to a slightly more herbal black tea, but the plant primarily functions as a natural dye that’s subtle in flavor but bold in visual color and attraction. 

The flowers are most famously used to make a traditional Thai welcome tea known as dok anchan, which is served  frequently to travelers upon  arrival. And after centuries of use in Southeast Asia for health purposes like strengthening hair follicles and helping fight depression, butterfly pea tea and its concentrate found themselves in blue beverages, butterfly pea concentrate became a darling of the cocktail world. The tincture allows bartenders to craft drinks with a cool- sunset-style color spectrum and chefs to decorate dishes with elegance.

Open Seating through out the house is best, to create a comfortable game-viewing environment with comfy seats, matching team colors would be fabulous, and lots of chairs for your football fans who will be glued to the TV.

What Super Bowl Party would be complete without snacking? Keep guests satisfied by arranging your appetizer spread on the coffee table where it is easily accessible. Keep small snack plates and napkins out to make it simple for everyone watching the game.

Chips and guacamole make an excellent Super bowl appetizer snack. A spicy bowl of everyone’s favorite Mexican-inspired appetizer, along with other bar snacks such as marinated olives, popcorn, nuts, and jalapeno poppers.

Through out the game you can be passing around tiny pizza, mozzarella sticks, pot-stickers, chips and avocado salsa, artichoke spinach dip, nachos, quesadillas, stuffed jalapenos, and a hummus trio. Rather than ordering in a delivery offer guests homemade cut-bite sized cheese pizzettes. Individual plates allow guests to snack as they desire.

 

Get guests into the festive spirit with a kombucha bar and drinks to make station at the party. A large festive punch is a special option and set out a pitcher filled with a tasty mixture alongside with empty cold glasses with orange slices for garnish.

Decor goes a long way for Sunday Superbowl Party! Add a splash of your team’s color by draping garland anywhere in the house that needs color and brings out the team spirit.

While the big game and the commercials are likely to keep guests engaged throughout the party it doesn’t hurt to add a bit of handmade entertainment to your party. Give guests a way to rejoice by providing confetti perfectly themed for the big event and ready for moments anytime a touchdown is made.

The Spirit Of Giving 

Generosity is your shining gift. Gold is used to wrap a gift to represent something precious and valuable, the intangible gift of generosity. 


The gold box is perhaps a metaphor for the most generous gift we can offer, the time we give to others. Generosity is your shining gift means the giver is returning, and recognizing, the value of one’s generosity. 

Warm thoughts to you this Holiday Season!

Vegan Eggnog

Eggnog is a common treat around the holidays, when many people indulge in rich foods and drinks. Generally, eggnog is made from milk, raw eggs, and spices.

Soy milk can easily be substituted for milk in almost any recipe. The trick is to experiment a bit with the amount of soy milk needed to achieve the usual thick and creamy texture of eggnog. Making eggnog from soy milk can also provide many other options, since soy milk comes in a variety of flavors. Making eggnog from soymilk is a great way for vegetarians, vegans, and those with dairy allergies to enjoy a bit of this festive drink. For vegans, eggnog can even be made without using eggs!

Getränke 

Getränke in German means Non-Alcoholic Drinks. We chose to name our ebook Getränke for this ebook caters to every cuisine. AFG stands for Alkoholfreie Getränke (German: Non-Alcoholic Drinks) 

While traveling, Germany, of course, is best known for its beer and wine, yet there are many other types of beverages (Getränke) that are somewhat unique to the country. Germans drink many of the same beverages, such as tea, coffee and juices as Americans but there are often slight differences to the taste or method preparation. We are grateful for Getränke while traveling in Germany. 

Our Getränke quenches your thirst and satisfies your everyday drinking with excitement and fun!!
