This homemade Skinny Frozen Pumpkin Spice Mocha is a delicious, refreshing way to satisfy a serious pumpkin spice craving. Right about now is when I start craving all things fall; Im ready for cooler weather and everything that goes with it! But the truth is, its still a little early and the weather isnt quite ready to cooperate yet. (I refuse to drink hot coffee when temps are in the 90s and its humid outside.) Thats where the beauty of a frozen drink comes in....
Cherry Chocolate Chip Coffee Popsicles Recipe (Paleo)
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, […]...
Sea Island Coffee {Giveaway}
Are you one of those people who can drink coffee any time of day? Mike likes to joke that I drink coffee instead of warm milk at night to help me sleep…and while that isn’t exactly true, it is true that coffee doesn’t keep me awake. I joke that it’s because every time he and I visit the Middle East we chug countless pots of Turkish coffee at all hours of the day. :)...
Seattle’s Best Coffee {Giveaway}
We are kindred souls, Dear Reader, you and I. We both like good food. No scratch that, great food. Cooking it, eating it, even just looking at it. I’m willing to guess you probably like coffee too…I know I do. (Or if not, you probably know someone who does?) It’s one of those things that just make me happy. Before I even taste it, the smell of it brewing puts a big smile on my face. Same with you? Wonderful! I thought you might say that. This giveaway is for you....
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 […]...
