• Black and White Mocha

    I know, I know…I spent most of the past 2 months talking about how much I love my homemade Black and White Mocha and you probably thought I was holding out on you. But as promised, I’m (finally) sharing the recipe with you today! I haven’t always been a coffee lover. In fact, I didn’t start drinking coffee until college and even then I could have been classified as a casual coffee drinker. Want to take a guess at the drink that finally won me over? Yes, it was a seasonal latte and it had chocolate in it…it was a peppermint mocha. It was one of the good ones, not…

  • Cherry Limeade Punch

    I am a firm believer that everyone needs a signature punch recipe. This Cherry Limeade punch has been a favorite of mine for years.     When I’m throwing a party I always need a couple of “easy” recipes on the menu.

Yesterday I celebrated my 29th birthday and my hubby spoiled me this weekend with flowers, coffee and a shopping trip on Saturday and then lunch out on Sunday. He really is the best. I also baked and enjoyed a delicious chocolate cake, because when you are a food blogger you bake your own birthday cake. I’ll share recipes and pictures later! Ok, on to the recipe for today. I have always liked strawberries, but this summer I just can’t get enough of them!     Do recipes that only have 4 four ingredients actually…

  • Vanilla Latte at Home

    Vanilla Lattes are my current coffee obsession and since I’ve started making them at home I can avoid the expensive coffee shop and all of the calories that come with it! I don’t usually share photos of all the ingredients for a recipe, so today is your special day. I bought a milk frother a couple months ago and it is amazing! I like to add the sugar and vanilla to the milk before warming it for about 30 seconds in the microwave and then use the frother to transform the milk into warm frothy goodness. The hubby bought me a Keurig for Christmas a couple years ago and I love that…
