I've never been a super fancy at home coffee drinker, but I have to admit that a single product changed this.

My Favorite Matcha Recipes - Ranked

I recently was #gifted a few products from Zulay Kitchen, and one of them was MATCHA! I'd never tried matcha before, but had actually just listened to a podcast about how great it was (Thanks SYSK) and had really been wanting to check it out. You can obviously drink Matcha just as green tea itself, and it's GREAT that way (My favorite is iced with a little agave syrup), there are SO many ways you can incorporate it into your diet. While there are too many to try each and every one, I checked out some of the best looking ones for you! I have to admit, I'm really on a matcha kick now and honestly loved every single recipe. BUT some were definitely better than others, so here they all are ranked! So order some Zulay matcha and get cooking!!

Pimento-Stuffed Pretzels

I've gotta admit, Pimento Cheese is hands down my favorite food I've discovered since moving to Kentucky. It's perfectly creamy with the added bonus cheese chunks and pepper pieces. I could legitimately live off of Pimento. Here's my creation mixing the best two foods to exist: Pimento cheese and pretzels.
