You may notice something different about the start to my day…no coffee?!? Kyle and I were trying hard to stomach the rest of the bag of our most recent Starbucks blend (extra bold Gold Coast)…but there is a time and place for being green. And suffering through bad coffee is NOT a compromise I’m willing to make. We got this bag a few days ago, and neither of us have been finishing our AM java since, so what’s the point? Instead of feeling guilty over wasted grounds, I opted for a warm cup of tea… Read more >

Today was a repeat of yesterday. Kyle dragged me out of bed by 9, but it wasn’t until I smelled the coffee brewing, that I actually began to perk up. Like yesterday, I mixed the choc/raspberry blend with the regular starbucks blend. Unlike yesterday, today’s coffee came out way more raspberry flavored. I guess since it’s a blend, there’s no telling which flavor will come through stronger, but I think I preferred yesterday’s. I added a LOT of silk to it (way more than I usually do) to try to downplay the raspberry. I also… Read more >

I woke with a tummy ache today :( so I started the day off with tea. I had the last of my Holiday Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Tea, so my second mug was blueberry green tea. I really like the sugar cookie tea, I’m going to have to get that one again. SO good. Then I had some toasted Alvarado street bread with peanut butter and cinnamon and stevia sprinkled on top. This bread is the best, and as we all know, peanut butter is the solution to everything IN LIFE, so I was… Read more >

Which has more protein, tofu or chicken? My boyfriend asked me that question last night which got me thinking…and after doing a little research, I decided to share.

Ugh. Of all the mornings to wake up without coffee, this was def poor planning on my Kyle’s part (just kidding, I’m obviously the one that finished it and didn’t buy more). Clearly, a trip to Starbucks was the first task of the day. Nothing makes me happier than the smell of freshly brewed coffee in the AM. Nothing! We got the House Blend (with a free cup of joe). Kyle headed off to MM, so I made myself some toast and sipped my coffee (only way to nurse a hang over). I kinda burnt… Read more >
