Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride
My productive day continued into the afternoon with errands, cleaning, working, and a trip to the gym. I don’t think I stopped moving all day!
Murphy, however, rested for most of the afternoon while Mal and I got down to business.
Murphy actually had an exciting afternoon. In addition to going for an hour-long walk with Mom and Dad around the neighborhood, he got an early Christmas gift: a Puppia Camo Harness! 
I didn’t think Murphy was the type of dog that could pull off camo, but he looks so cool! 
He seems to like his new harness quite a lot. Murph definitely walked around Southie with a new type of pug confidence this afternoon. I think I even saw a little swagger in his step! 
Dinner
Tonight’s dinner was a repeat of last week’s Pasta With Brie, Mushrooms, and Arugula. It was just so tasty, I needed to make it again.
This time, however, I changed-up the ingredients. This evening’s meal had broccoli, mushrooms, and baby spinach in the mix.
I cooked dinner right after I got back from the gym, so I drank from my water bottle during dinner.
Dessert was a really special treat: Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride tea! I can’t believe that I found it! After two winters of not finding it anywhere, I finally got my hands on my very own box. (The Whole Foods in Hingham sells it, but I bought the last one on the shelf. 
)
With my tea, I enjoyed some holiday chocolates.
Best dessert ever!

mmm…. I’ve seen people talking about this tea all over the blogosphere! I must acquire some for myself to see what all the buzz is about!
Kara — December 14, 2009 @ 8:36 pm
YUM! I LOVE the Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride! I seriously went to 5 grocery stores looking for it. I finally found it at a small local health food store, go figure
Enjoy!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is — December 14, 2009 @ 8:39 pm
The holiday themed hershey kisses make me so happy!
Allison (Eat Clean Live Green) — December 14, 2009 @ 8:41 pm
I have the worst luck finding the holiday teas – I wish I could find the sugar cookie and the eggnog!
Food Makes Fun Fuel — December 14, 2009 @ 8:43 pm
That’s a great dessert. It’s so much softer than coffee when you just aren’t feeling like a heavy drink
Joelle (The Pancake Girl) — December 14, 2009 @ 8:49 pm
Oooh, I really want to try that tea! It just sounds like it would be delish.
Lynn (The Actors Diet) — December 14, 2009 @ 9:03 pm
i still haven’t been able to get my hands on that tea!!! i’m glad to know it’s actually difficult to find and that i’m not going crazy.
diana(mymarblerye) — December 14, 2009 @ 9:07 pm
FYI they are selling those teas at some dollar stores (don’t judge, I like a bargain) and I snag one flavor.
BTW I’m starting to get addicted to brie like Tiger Woods is addicted to…well..nevermind
Tracy — December 14, 2009 @ 9:11 pm
I’m now on a mission to find Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride tea…I didn’t even know they made that flavor! So excited!
Estela @ Weekly Bite — December 14, 2009 @ 9:21 pm
I love having little candies after dinner
Kelsey — December 14, 2009 @ 9:25 pm

Light Delight with TouTou — December 14, 2009 @ 9:27 pm
didn’t know there is a x’mas version
Michal — December 14, 2009 @ 9:33 pm
I love that tea – i just polished off my last bag this morning im sad. Hopefully i cant get some more soon
Catherine (FOOD SNOB) — December 14, 2009 @ 9:37 pm
I think the boxes of holiday teas are still falling off the shelves at my co-op, so let me know if you need a set-up! I could easily put a box (or two) in the mail to you!
Jocelyn — December 14, 2009 @ 9:38 pm
Ah you are so lucky to find that tea! I too, have been looking for it everywhere!
Madeline @ Greens and Jeans — December 14, 2009 @ 9:40 pm
My little store always has a ton! I’ve been mailing them to my friends all winter!
lily @ lily's health pad — December 14, 2009 @ 9:41 pm
sugar cookie sleigh ride is definitely one of my faves. i have hoarded every single one that i could find at Amazing Savings.
Lindsay Perrone (goodiesgalore) — December 14, 2009 @ 9:43 pm
Damn it… I cannot find any of their teas. Years ago they were everywhere!
Arlene — December 14, 2009 @ 9:46 pm
That tea sounds delicious. I’ll have to hunt for it.
Allie Guinta — December 14, 2009 @ 9:46 pm
The Market Basket in Chelsea has ALL of the Celestial Seasonings Holiday editions!!!
Cait (Cait's Plate) — December 14, 2009 @ 9:55 pm
Ah! You’re so lucky! I can’t find that tea ANYWHERE and I’ve searched in 3 different states!!!
rungirlrunn — December 14, 2009 @ 10:05 pm
I was beginning to think that tea was made up, I haven’t seen it anywhere!!
Katy — December 14, 2009 @ 10:19 pm
I bought out the Whole Foods’ supply of Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride … then found the entire lineup of seasonal Celestial teas at Publix (BOGO!) and bought even more. I LURVE it.
lindsay — December 14, 2009 @ 10:19 pm
Lots of holiday teas at the WF in Dedham, if you’re ever out that way Tina!
leslie — December 14, 2009 @ 10:25 pm
Heehee! I posted about that tea this week too. I ordered 6 boxes online!
Kristen @ Change of Pace — December 14, 2009 @ 10:28 pm
Everyone talks about that tea! I’ll have to see if I can find it… Doesn’t seem like I’ll be able to though
Hillary @ Nutrition Nut on the Run — December 14, 2009 @ 10:47 pm
I <3 productive days! Tea & chocolate sound like a perfect dessert to me : )
Jenna — December 14, 2009 @ 10:55 pm
yumm! that looks like a yummy dessert
jenna
Sam (Merit to the Carrot) — December 14, 2009 @ 11:07 pm
Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride is number one on my Christmas list. It’s possibly the most impossible tea to find!
Karla — December 14, 2009 @ 11:11 pm
I am about to enjoy a cup of the gingerbread flavored tea of the same brand! I’ll have to try the sugar cookie one
Mo @ Mommy RD — December 14, 2009 @ 11:15 pm
I still have some of my Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride tea from last year. I stocked up! It is also great with sugar cookie cutouts for dessert!
Julie @ Peanut Butter Fingers — December 14, 2009 @ 11:20 pm
holiday chocolates are the best! i love the red & green M&Ms (especially the peanut butter ones)!
Katie — December 14, 2009 @ 11:35 pm
I love that tea!! I just bought some last week and today I shared it with my office. It smelled like we were baking cookies in there!
amanda — December 14, 2009 @ 11:59 pm
I really wanna check this tea out. I am huge cookie fan and maybe this will curb my appetite for them
Katherine — December 15, 2009 @ 1:13 am
I FINALLY found some of this a few days ago, and to me it tastes EXACTLY like a cream soda DumDum lollipop! Not what I was expecting, but still good!
Angie (Losing It and Loving It) — December 15, 2009 @ 1:14 am
Murphy looks adorable!
Oh and that tea is yummy isn’t it? I love it!
Shannon — December 15, 2009 @ 1:16 am
murphy!!!
cute new harness! i found that tea at the WF in MGH…
Jenn — December 15, 2009 @ 2:23 am
I’ve been looking for Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride EVERYWHERE! Anyone know if it’s even sold in Canada?
MelissaNibbles — December 15, 2009 @ 5:52 am
You can order that tea online off the Celestial Seasonings website if you want to stock up for they year
Murphy is stylin’!
Lauren — December 15, 2009 @ 7:27 am
I must find that tea!! I look for it every time I go to the grocery store, whether it be Shaw’s, Whole Foods, T.J.’s… c’mon Boston!
Michelle — December 15, 2009 @ 7:52 am
Hey Tina the Stop and Shop in Dorchester (near Lamberts) sells it too. They also have gingerbread and candy cane flavors!
Maggie — December 15, 2009 @ 8:34 am
Michelle and I are on the same page…the Stop and Shop in the South Bay Plaza sells it too. I found some this weekend! Maybe all the stores stocked up at once??
Stasa — December 15, 2009 @ 9:26 am
Aw I’m glad to hear you found the tea! Happy Holidays
Kelly — December 15, 2009 @ 9:36 am
This tea is the bane of my existence! I can’t find it anywhere! The eggnog and gingerbread varieties are everywhere…but no sugar cookie!
I’m actually reaching the point where I’m tempted to just buy a ton of it from Amazon. LOL
Hannah (Balancing on Two Feet) — December 15, 2009 @ 9:38 am
I love Murphy’s new harness. Puppia is the best! My two boys have a green and red one! They make pugs even more handsome!
Lindsey @ Eat, Read, Run — December 15, 2009 @ 10:28 am
I want to try that tea!! I’ve also been looking for Gingerbread Spice and can’t seem to find it in my nearby stores. I need to go exploring for both. Although my hubby says my tea collection is getting out of control and our cupboard looks like it belongs in England.
bobbi — December 15, 2009 @ 11:33 am
thats my favorite TEA!!!!
Cynthia (It All Changes) — December 15, 2009 @ 11:36 am
I love that tea for dessert because it really tastes like a cookie.
audrey — December 15, 2009 @ 12:08 pm
hey tina, you can actually buy all the celestial seasonings teas on their website and they usually have a ton more variety than whats in the store and all the seasonal ones are available year round!
Arlene — December 15, 2009 @ 6:22 pm
I found Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride at my friendly neighborhood health food store (New Frontiers). I figured it’d be most likely to have it … and sure enough, they had a big display with four “special holiday” flavors. I bought some Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride and Candy Cane Lane. Looking forward to having a cup later, after dinner (or after work … or maybe both!).
Sofia — December 15, 2009 @ 9:31 pm
You can actually find most of celstial seasons holiday teas stocked up at Market Basket in Chelsea. They have a ton of Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride. I definitly stocked up on a couple of boxes.
Caroline — December 15, 2009 @ 10:47 pm
Murphy in his camo=too cute! I bet he had a little swagger in his step, he looks like a bad ass!
Allie (Protein Girl) — December 16, 2009 @ 10:50 am
I love Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride! It’s liquid sugar cookie… Ah Bliss. I made a Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Protein Shake with it that’s just like melted ice cream. http://pimpmyproteinshake.blogspot.com/2009/12/sugar-cookie-sleigh-ride-shake.html
Sarah — December 17, 2009 @ 10:36 am
I love sugar cookie sleigh ride too! I also found candy cane lane at the store that I’m going to have to try soon. The gingerbread is pretty good too
Stefania (formerly The Veg Next Door) — January 8, 2010 @ 5:07 pm
A bit late but I ordered mine directly from Celestial Seasonings. The tea is unavailable in Canada (at least it is in my part of the country).
