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 IĀ 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!
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 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!

The holiday themed hershey kisses make me so happy!
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
I have the worst luck finding the holiday teas – I wish I could find the sugar cookie and the eggnog!
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 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
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
Oooh, I really want to try that tea! It just sounds like it would be delish.
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 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.
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 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
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 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!
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 9:21 pm
I love having little candies after dinner
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
that is the best tea!!!
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
didn’t know there is a x’mas version
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 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
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 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!
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Ah you are so lucky to find that tea! I too, have been looking for it everywhere!
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
My little store always has a ton! I’ve been mailing them to my friends all winter!
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 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.
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
Damn it… I cannot find any of their teas. Years ago they were everywhere!
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
That tea sounds delicious. I’ll have to hunt for it.
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
The Market Basket in Chelsea has ALL of the Celestial Seasonings Holiday editions!!!
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Ah! You’re so lucky! I can’t find that tea ANYWHERE and I’ve searched in 3 different states!!!
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
I was beginning to think that tea was made up, I haven’t seen it anywhere!!
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 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.
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Lots of holiday teas at the WF in Dedham, if you’re ever out that way Tina!
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
Heehee! I posted about that tea this week too. I ordered 6 boxes online!
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 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
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
I <3 productive days! Tea & chocolate sound like a perfect dessert to me : )
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
yumm! that looks like a yummy dessert

Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride is number one on my Christmas list. It’s possibly the most impossible tea to find!
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 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
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 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!
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
holiday chocolates are the best! i love the red & green M&Ms (especially the peanut butter ones)!
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 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!
on Dec 14th, 2009 at 11:59 pm
I really wanna check this tea out. I am huge cookie fan and maybe this will curb my appetite for them
on Dec 15th, 2009 at 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!
on Dec 15th, 2009 at 1:14 am
Murphy looks adorable!
Oh and that tea is yummy isn’t it? I love it!
on Dec 15th, 2009 at 1:16 am
murphy!!!
cute new harness! i found that tea at the WF in MGH…
on Dec 15th, 2009 at 2:23 am
I’ve been looking for Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride EVERYWHERE! Anyone know if it’s even sold in Canada?
on Dec 15th, 2009 at 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’!
on Dec 15th, 2009 at 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!
on Dec 15th, 2009 at 7:52 am
Hey Tina the Stop and Shop in Dorchester (near Lamberts) sells it too. They also have gingerbread and candy cane flavors!
on Dec 15th, 2009 at 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??
on Dec 15th, 2009 at 9:26 am
Aw I’m glad to hear you found the tea! Happy Holidays
on Dec 15th, 2009 at 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
on Dec 15th, 2009 at 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!
on Dec 15th, 2009 at 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.
on Dec 15th, 2009 at 11:33 am
thats my favorite TEA!!!!
on Dec 15th, 2009 at 11:36 am
I love that tea for dessert because it really tastes like a cookie.
on Dec 15th, 2009 at 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!
on Dec 15th, 2009 at 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!).
on Dec 15th, 2009 at 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.
on Dec 15th, 2009 at 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!
on Dec 16th, 2009 at 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
on Dec 17th, 2009 at 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
on Jan 8th, 2010 at 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).
