Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino

It’s frappuccino Friday… But really every day should be frappuccino day! I adore chocolate and that’s nothing new if you’ve been to my blog before.  We have a container of York snack size patties in the kitchen and I literally eat one every day.  Don’t judge me.  As far as chocolates go, they’re actually not that bad for you (assuming you only have one). I also love anything to do with coffee and I drink at least one cup every day.  Of course I had to combine my two loves into this one gorgeous beverage! It’s so thick and luscious.  It’s almost …

Boozy Iced Mocha

Happy Friday!  It’s been a long and cold week so let’s celebrate with a cocktail. I’m not one for after dinner drinks and by that I mean I don’t like most of them.  However, if you give me a chocolate one then I’m all in.  Of course.  Are you surprised?  I mean, I am a chocoholic.   The chocolate liqueur by Godiva is simply magnificent.  Put it on the rocks and I’m a happy girl. I wanted to take the chocolate liqueur to another level and that’s where this fun drink comes in.  Picture a boozy combination of iced coffee and iced hot …

Simple Hot Cocoa For One

Guys, I’m going hard core simple today and I have a hot cocoa confession to make…  I prefer the powdered hot cocoa mix over any homemade recipe. I’ve tried many homemade variations and they are either not as tasty as the store bought stuff or they were too much of a hassle to make.  I’ve made probably 6 or 7 different kinds, and fed them to my husband, and gotten the universal response of “just use the big can of powdered stuff.” I had almost given up on my search of a good homemade hot cocoa recipe when I stumbled onto this …

Mocha Smoothie

I meant to pick up vanilla yogurt at the grocery store.  Can you imagine my surprise when I opened up the container at home and saw vanilla yogurt with chocolate chunks in it?  Man, I hate it when I pick up the wrong food by accident.  Does that ever happen to you? It turns out it was a happy accident because I couldn’t stop eating this yogurt.  I dove into it like it was ice cream and I was cheating the dessert police during breakfast time.  Isn’t that always fun?  Well, to a sweet junkie like me, it is.  🙂 It’s …

Pomegranate Mojito

Pomegranates are a fun.  Is it weird that I think a fruit is fun?  I feel like I’m eating an exotic fruit.  You know, because anything that’s not an apple or orange is pretty exotic to me. My husband and I saw a bin of pomegranates at the grocery store.  I can’t remember how long it’s been since I’ve had one so my husband grabbed a couple of them.  If you’ve never had one before, you eat the seeds, which are sweet and tart.  I eat the pips seeds and all and I think most people actually do.  You get a …
