The History Of Chai

Where everybody knows your name

One nice thing about living in a smallish town, is that the people who work at the places you frequent become “friends”. Sure, they’re not coming over for dinner, but they’ve already started making your order before you’ve fully walked through the door. They ask you about your son, your dog, your house remodel.

Hot Chocolate Revamped

Despite the unusual warmth we’ve had this winter, it’s not exactly summer time. I still like to end my day with something warm and chocolaty, but I’m getting tired of the same old hot chocolate. I started poking around for something to jazz it up, and boy was I surprised. Check out how Foodie with [...]

Coffee Coma

Pinterest is quickly becoming the new site everyone is gravitating towards (or maybe it’s just me), but I’m glad to be a slave to poring over the many ideas for food, fashion, and home, among a trillion other inspirational bits pinned there. I recently checked out all things caffeinated, and here are some of my [...]

Honey- Chai Cake

Coffee is my drug…

I know that I really shouldn’t say that coffee is like my crack, my drug, but it is. I know it’s not everyone’s crack, especially not my kids’ crack because that would be (and sounds really) bad.  Besides, raisins are Arthur’s crack and Diego cartoons are Ian’s. But back to coffee and crack. Take this [...]

Upcycling Coffee Filters

I don’t know about you, but we upgraded our coffee pot to one of those fancy K-Cup machines a few years ago. It worked out well since my husband usually drinks one cup and didn’t need a whole pot’s worth. We got it as a wedding gift back in 2008…and I still have a box [...]
