CHOCOLATE COFFEE (MOCHA) MILKSHAKE
I’ve officially entered my milkshake phase. It’s been a bit of a challenge since I’ve also been trying to cut back on sugar, so I’ve given myself a compromise. I will allow myself to eat all the sugar I want (within reason, of course) on the weekends. It makes me look forward to the weekends.…

HOW TO MAKE OAT MILK AT HOME
I’m a big fan of alternative milks. I’ll use whole milk in baking recipes, but if I ever drink milk directly I would definitely choose an alternative milk. I made almond milk and cashew milk and they were both awesome so i figured why not keep going and see what else I can create? Today…

BROWNIE COFFEE AFFOGATO
When I first started this blog I made an affogato and although it was just a few years ago, at the time it felt like such an exotic thing to make. I barely knew what it was when I made the recipe. I was eager to try to but honestly, I would have never known…

Cookie + chocolate bars + graham crackers and marshmallows, yes. Yes. This s’mores skillet cookie is the ultimate summer cookie and I can’t get enough.

MAKE YOUR OWN ALMOND MILK
Almond milk is my go to milk of choice. Before it, I pretty much refused to drink milk. Except with Oreos, for some reason Oreo milk was always delicious to me. But now I do prefer almond milk with my Oreos. I’m going to share how to make your own almond milk at the fraction…

IRISH COFFEE JELLO SHOTS
St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner. I live in a small town with a pretty large Irish community. We have an Irish day parade that’s a really big deal, hundreds of people come to watch it and the town pretty much shuts down for it. Irish coffee is a huge deal that day,…

RED VELVET COFFEE BROWNIES
Today is Valentine’s Day! I swear it was just New Years like a minute ago. I know it doesn’t seem like it because I’ve brought it up so much lately but I don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day in the traditional sense. The novelty of it is my favorite part. Most people don’t love the commercialization…

CARAMEL CORN WITH COFFEE SALT
I have to admit, I’m not the biggest fan of popcorn. I mean, I’m definitely having some if I’m in a movie theater, that’s a no-brainer. But the hassle of them getting caught in your teeth is just too much for me to bear. I do, however, LOVE caramel corn. So I made caramel corn…

3 COFFEE SYRUP RECIPES
When we opened the coffee shop, we decided right away that we weren’t going to offer coffee syrups. This was in part because most coffee syrups contain questionable and toxic ingredients and we didn’t want to slowly poison our community. Not to mention they are extremely expensive and we didn’t want to pass that cost…
