This paleo Cherry Chocolate Chip Coffee Popsicles Recipe pairs fresh sweet cherries with dark chocolate in a creamy coffee-based popsicle. I’m not even joking when I say I could live off cherries and nothing else during their teasingly short season. (Even despite all those warnings about the collywobbles my mom gave me growing up.) Collywobbles or not, a five pound bag of cherries never lasts long in my fridge....

Frozen Cappuccino
What’s your favorite way to cool down on a hot summer day? For years when I was younger, swimming was my cool-off method of choice. While we were growing up, my sister and I were such junkies we took swimming in any form we could get it. We loved heading to the town pool (ick, it’s so gross to think about that now!), wading in the creek behind our backyard (double ick!), and heading to our grandparents’ house because they had a pool....
Toasted Hazelnut Chocolate-Espresso Cookies
Mike and I have a friend here in Kuwait who doesn’t like to eat. I know what you’re thinking. Wait…what?! Explain please, because I just don’t understand. Yup, it’s true, he doesn’t like to eat, toddler-style. As in, I guess I’ll eat if I have to, but only when I really feel like it, and good luck getting me to try anything new. Sigh. The challenges I have to face, lol....
Butternut Butterscotch Latte
I’m sure this happens to you too. Every once in a while I think of an idea that is so simple, so right in front of my eyes, it astounds me that I didn’t think of it sooner. Like my Stuffed Mushroom Casserole, which I could talk about for an hour nonstop. But I’ll stay focused. This Butternut Butterscotch Latte is also the perfect example. You could think of it as the cousin to the Pumpkin Spice Latte…but the cool cousin. The one who moved away to the big city and does raw juice diets three times a year and practices yoga every day....
Skinny Caramel Macchiato Cookies
Ladies, this treat is for you. Because I know that some afternoons just require a little sweet treat to perk things up. (And afternoon coffee needs a partner, right? ;) ) On one such afternoon when I was brewing up a pot of French press, I decided to take a peek into my pantry to see what I could nibble on along with my coffee. As soon as I opened the door, the overwhelming smell of my favorite caramel extract wafted out. Sadly, it had spilled (no idea how that happened!) but at least it made the entire pantry smell like heaven. And don’t worry, […]...
Spiced Coffee Cupcakes
Turkish coffee is very finely ground coffee that’s brewed in a special pot (traditionally a copper pot with a narrow neck) called an ibrik or cezve. The finely ground coffee is typically spiced with cardamom before brewing, which gives it a very unique flavor. Sugar can be added to the coffee (depending on personal preference) but milk is never added. Once the coffee is brewed it’s poured into small cups called fincans, which are similar to espresso or demitasse cups; the dregs settle to the bottom and are left in the cup when the coffee is drunk. Turkish coffee is almost magical…it’s smooth and velvety […]...
Cardamom-Spiced Mocha
Cardamom in coffee might sound strange, but cardamom is typically added to Turkish and/or Arabic coffee. Cardamom is related to ginger, and it has a eucalyptus-like aroma and a warm flavor similar to cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, but with lemon-citrusy undertones. Not only does it add a very complex flavor to coffee, but according to The Herb & Spice Companion, there is some evidence suggesting that cardamom reduces the effects of caffeine in coffee. I really like the use of cardamom in mocha because all of its flavor complexities pair well with the various flavor notes in the cocoa powder. And it’s even better […]...
