Do you look forward to your morning coffee? You will now. 🙂 When my lil’ sis and I plan our shopping days together, we MUST hit a coffee shop and l look forward to it, even days beforehand. I’m very serious about my coffee. 😉 I even post pics of my various coffee adventures on Instagram and Twitter. Although I have to admit that I only started sharing these kinds of pics because it seems like everyone else does it. Yes, I feel like I’m back in 5th grade and peer pressure has gotten the best of me because I want to …

Affogato
Guys, I seriously need your undivided attention because I’ve got something here that you are going to go bonkers over. I’ve found the next best thing to a frappuccino, maybe even better. I’m obsessed with it. Seriously… obsessed. Have you ever heard of an affogato? It’s an Italian coffee based beverage where you take a scoop of ice cream or gelato and you top it with a hot shot of espresso. What the what?! I’d never heard of it until just the other day and knew that I had to make it immediately. Is it a dessert? Is it a drink? …
Cranberry Sparkler
Summer is practically here. I realized that every summer since I started this blog, I’ve posted about a refreshing beverage… one that I’m obsessed over. You know, the one that you pretty much drink every… single… day. This summer it’s cranberry and bubbles. Throw some lime in there and the refreshment levels are positively stratospheric. Is this even a real recipe? It seems so simple that I feel like I’m cheating here. However, I never knew about this tasty concoction until I met my husband so that means there’s a chance you don’t know about it either. So this is a “recipe” …
Strawberry Mango Smoothie
I hope you guys aren’t getting sick of smoothie recipes because I’ve got another fab one for you. How crazy cute are these glasses!?! I just bought them from the Home Goods store on Friday for $3.50 each. Of course I needed an excuse to use them right away and thought this fun smoothie was the perfect way. Get it? Tropical fruit in a smoothie, palm trees on an adorable cup? It’s been over a month since I shared a smoothie recipe with you. That’s enough time in between, right? If you’re a smoothie junkie like me then I know you’ll appreciate another. If you’re …
Frozen Mango Margarita
I’m still celebrating Cinco de Mayo with this margarita! (My husband is still celebrating Quatro de Mayo by pretending that the fourth Star Wars movie is almost out.) Let’s be real, I don’t need a reason to enjoy a margarita. It’s just an ordinary Wednesday so I’m living it up with this cocktail. If you really need an excuse, then this would be awesome for a Mother’s Day brunch this weekend. I’ve been having a blast trying a variety of flavored margaritas. The Pineapple Margarita is my favorite so far and the Paloma (which is like a grapefruit margarita) is super delicious and refreshing. My husband …
