Learn how to make a mocha latte (AKA cafe mocha) in the comfort of your own home with my homemade easy recipe! I don’t remember the first time I tasted a mocha. It was probably at a Starbucks or Caribou Coffee when I was 18 or so. In general I am nonplussed about most…

How to Make a Sugar Free Matcha Latte (That Still Tastes Delicious)
One of my favorite treats during Sugar Free January has been a sugar free matcha latte. At first I thought I wouldn’t enjoy it without a bit of honey, but I was wrong! It’s still delicious without any added sweetener. Today I’d like to share some tips for how to make a sugar free matcha…
Creamy Green Smoothie
It took me a loooong time to hop on the green smoothie band wagon. For some reason I imagined that it would taste like a wilty salad all blended together. Not too appealing. Then along came Jim, who absolutely refused to eat his green vegetables. Not wanting him to miss out on all…
Homemade Strawberry Syrup for Strawberry Milk
Last week was intense (as you know if you follow me on Instagram). On Sunday evening I started not feeling well. I was generally tired and had a sore throat. I told Reuben to promise that he would stay home the next day, though I was only kidding. Surely I would be better by morning….
Homemade London Fog (Earl Grey) Latte
Make this Homemade London Fog Latte with Earl Grey tea and lavender! I feel like there’s something kind of posh about Earl Grey tea. It’s most likely because of the name. It’s just fun to say. Early grey tea is a black tea that is flavored with bergamot orange oil. It has a distinct flavor…

Homemade Honey-Sweetened Dark Chocolate Cocoa with Pink Whipped Cream
This Homemade Honey-Sweetened Dark Chocolate Cocoa is perfect for Valentine’s Day! If I’m honest, we’re not much of Valentine’s Day people in this house. Which is a bit funny because our first date was on Valentine’s Day… Let’s rewind to the winter of 2011. Reuben had just asked my dad if he could court me…
Eggnog Frothed Milk
This eggnog frothed milk is a delicious way to savor the flavors of eggnog without all the hassle! Eggnog is Reuben’s favorite thing to drink. He usually doesn’t get super excited (at least on the outside) about food, but I can tell that he is thrilled when eggnog starts appearing in the stores in November….
Pumpkin Spice Latte
I remember the first time I ever had a Pumpkin Spice Latte. Starbucks had fiiiiiinally come to our small town. It was a chilly fall day, and I felt like having a treat. I ordered my PSL and walked back to my car, warming my hands on the to-go cup. Sadly, it was disappointing. The…
Organic Pumpkin Spice Coffee Syrup
Fall is absolutely my favorite of all the seasons. If Christmas were a season, I guess I’d choose that. But winter is far too long here in northern Minnesota for me. 3 months of beautiful snowy landscapes would be lovely. 5 is a bit ridiculous. So autumn it is. To describe the feeling that fall…
