COFFEE!!

I am a BIG coffee drinker...are YOU?

When I think coffee, i think LOVE.

Coffee is warm, soothing, calming and uplifting,

it wakes me up, it calms me down and it's both a treat and necessity at the

 same time...AHhhhhh COFFEE how i love thee.

 I have had the great pleasure of drinking Kona Coffee in Kona, HI and i've had a morning cup at a McDonald's restaurant in Germany and that is almost all over the world!

The coffee I like best is HOT and FRESH and NEVER ENDING.

I am a total sucker for mocha's with lot's of chocolate and syrup. Almond Roca or Blackberry are my go-to flavors now, but that can change!

I suppose I like coffee more than bagels, but if I had my own cafe...there would be bagels too! 

FRESH and HOT...just like the coffee.

Mmm....

Remember these...so cool!

I do NOT like Folgers, but a lot of people do. My boyfriend will not drink anything but Folgers Classic Decaf.

Here is a coffee I must have...

TRY THIS!!

Ahhhh yes...the 'ole "French Press"!

Great for camping or at home and the french press method is good for making more than one cup and less than 12.

HOT Artichoke, Spinach & Parmesan Dip with Lime Chips or a Bagel!

A lot of my recipes include a bagel on the side, but I am telling you, if you don't have a fresh baguette handy for this...a plain bagel goes just fine.

But what is better than bread with this?

CHIPS!

But what is better than chips with this...LIME chips!!

find these AWESOME chips here:

I found that Lime tortilla chips really tasted good with this cheesy dip. As for the dip...kinda like the chips and bread, just find a really good pre-made dip that you love at your local deli. It's gotta be artichoke, spinach and parmesan...and serve it HOT.

Mmmm so good.
