I LOVE frozen coffees, and when they are as smooth and creamy as a milk shake… Mmm.. perfection! I’ll tell you, I very rarely buy a frozen coffee. For two reasons: 1) They are way too expensive. 2) I make them better than any Barista I’ve met. You can always change things up. Add some flavoured syrups, some flavoured coffee creamers, use different kinds of coffee. By changing up one or two things, you will never have the same coffee twice. The secret to the best homemade frozen coffee? Coffee cubes. When you have leftover coffee in your pot in … Continue reading →

Alright, time to celebrate! It is the weekend. The house is SOLD! AND, I’m posting more than one recipe this week! Yeah! I’ve never tried a Sangria before, but a friend of mine made me some candles in this scent, and I LOVE them. I’m not a fan of wine, so I wasn’t sure I was going to like this.

I easily halved the recipe, since it wasn’t for a party, just ourselves. Remember to be responsible when drinking! … Continue reading →

No need to drive down to the nearest convenience store for these anymore, just make them at home!    

Did you ever dream of having a lemonade stand? Selling the cool, refreshing drinks on the sidewalk. Of course, you’d have an awesome little stand to sell them from. And at the end of the day, you’d have a few dollars with which to buy a My Little Pony or Hardy Boys book with. Of course, it would probably cost your parent’s more than those few dollars to supply you with your inventory and store front, but that wasn’t the point. You got to be an entrepreneur for the day, and it was awesome! Look out world, you were part … Continue reading →
