Dear Coffee...


More than any other day of the week, it tends to be Monday and Friday mornings that you need a cup of coffee most. For coffee lovers, nothing else really compares. That’s why this Friday morning, I wanted to take the time to thank coffee. There is perhaps no greater source of motivation on those tired, sleepy mornings at the end of the week than a simple cup of just that. Especially since Friday is my only Morning shift of the entire week. So, without further ado, a thank-you letter to coffee:


Dear Coffee,

It's mornings like this that make me appreciate how wonderful you truly are. I am so glad you were brought to this earth as a tiny bean so that we can brew you and enjoy you.

I prefer you with two teaspoons of sugar and a tiny bit of milk. But some people prefer you iced. And some people prefer you with cream. Some people even prefer you with nothing at all, a great testimony to how perfect you really are.

I just wanted you to know… because sometimes, there is nothing better on a tiresome morning than a good ole cup of joe.
xoxo,
Sharlene (+ the rest of the world!)

My New Breakfast Love:

Oh my gosh! About a Month ago I was in subway and I saw this adorable and delish looking yogurt parfait thing that I wanted to try. I never had a something like that before and I just couldn't believe my taste-buds! I swore that I would learn how to make them so I wouldn't have to spend money buying them everyday.




Here are some mix-ins that you can add to your yogurt for a breakfast creation that’s all your own:
Any and all fruit
Granola
Your favorite cereal
Quinoa Nuts (almond slices or pecans work well)
Honey Cinnamon
A bit of vanilla extract
Raisins
Coconut flakes or coconut milk
Or just eat it plain!

PS: If you’re having Greek yogurt, adding a little sweetener can take some of the bite out of the taste.

I’m usually not too hungry in the mornings, but yogurt is a light and easy way to make sure I get something to eat. I really hate it when I forget to grab something before I leave for work, my tummy will growl all day and that's just not cute!
 I recommend giving this a try if you’re not much of a breakfast person yourself.

Bonus: this also makes for a tasty and healthy dessert, so stock up!
