The Perfect Ice Blended Mocha!
Published on Wednesday, April 18, 2012 by caryn I have measured out my life with coffee spoons. -T.S. Eliot After spending a few days away from home, I FINALLY got my iced coffee fix! A few weeks ago, I decided to give up my frou frou iced coffee habit and replace those +$4 drinks with my own using International Delight Iced Coffee. I'm a regular frequenter of places like Starbucks and Peet's, and because I ... Read More » -

How I’m Managing My Iced Coffee Habit
Published on Wednesday, April 4, 2012 by caryn My husband and I have the type of coffee habits that require serious budgeting (and restraint). In fact, one week I calculated how much both of us were spending on coffee at our local shops and realized that we could have bought a myriad of other things with that money...like groceries! While my husband is content with plain iced coffee, I am a frou frou coffee d... Read More » -

Rockin’ Recipes: Peppermint & Cof...
Published on Tuesday, March 13, 2012 by caryn In the spirit of St. Patrick's Day, I decided to put a caffeinated twist on the classic Emerald Mint Milkshake created by McCormick. Because I like to get creative with my dishes, I've been working with the company for the past 2 years, utilizing their extracts and spices to add flavor to foods. One of the flavors I don't use often enough is Peppermint. I love ... Read More » -

Coffee + Ice Cream = Bliss
Published on Wednesday, August 17, 2011 by caryn If you follow me on any social media platform, you might have noticed that I like to indulge in coffee. I've gotten really good about limiting my trips to Starbucks to just once or twice a week, since I could literally be there every day if I allowed myself. I was also recently introduced to Starbucks Natural Fusions which means I can make a lot of my favorite drinks ... Read More » -

I love the experience of going to a coffee shop, ordering something fancy, and sipping it over conversation or a good read.

DIY Gourmet Summer Drinks From Got Milk?
Published on Sunday, July 3, 2011 by caryn I have always been somewhat of a "frou frou" coffee drinker, particularly during the summer months when the weather is warm. I could probably drink an ice blended mocha (or vanilla) every day if I didn't have just a tiny bit of discipline. Many establishments are offering nonfat varieties of these drinks, however, I still imagine they pack on much in the way of su... Read More » -

NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Coffee and Tea Drinks
Published on Friday, December 3, 2010 by caryn Yesterday, I told you about NESCAFÉ’s new modern single-serve coffee machines. But they're more than just a kitchen design accent. They actually make a really yummy cup of coffee! I've always been partial to freshly ground (as in from the bean), freshly brewed coffee. If I don't have time to make a cup, I'll spend the $3-$4 it costs at our local coffee sho... Read More » -

NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Circolo Machine
Published on Thursday, December 2, 2010 by caryn If you ask anyone close to me, they might say that I am addicted like coffee..a lot! But I'm picky when it comes to my coffee. I like lattes and mochas, particularly around this time of year when all of the coffee shops bring back their holiday drinks. All of those frou frou drinks can add up to a large monthly coffee bill! Which is why making coffee at home jus... Read More » -

Coffee on the Cheap!
Published on Monday, March 22, 2010 by caryn Up until about a month ago, I spent a pretty penny on fancy lattes and mochas. I couldn't go more than a couple of days without my frou frou coffee drinks. Thanks to my daughter, I've recently curbed by coffee habit because of her spitting up and reflux. But one day...one day soon...I'll get my morning cup of joe! While my husband prefers freshly ground coffe... Read More » -

Holiday Lattes from Got Milk?
Published on Sunday, December 6, 2009 by caryn A little known fact about me is that I really, really like coffee (so much so that before I was pregnant, you could find me at any given OC coffee shop daily). I try to justify my semi-coffee addiction by telling myself that my froofy coffee drinks are healthy because they usually contain about 3/4 milk. It just so happens that I'm right! Lattes, in particular h... Read More » -

Published on Wednesday, January 14, 2009 by caryn My husband and I are are avid coffee drinkers. So much so that our family's gift giving often includes a gift card to any number of local coffee shops. Coffee on the run is preferable to no coffee at all, but there is nothing like a fresh cup of coffee straight from a French Press. We recently sampled Eight O' Clock Coffee's Original grind. This medium roa... Read More »
