International Delight Light Iced Coffee-Delightfully Cafe’ Flan Recipe #LightIcedCoffee

by

I'm a huge coffee nut. I normally drink anywhere from 1-3 cups a day. Frappes, Cappuccinos, regular cup of Joe, I like them all. During the work week I normally have about 30 minutes to sit a drink a cup of coffee in peace before I head on over to work. To me, it is my few minutes of complete sanity. I sometimes I drink my coffee at home or other times I run to my favorite drive thru for a small specialty coffee or iced coffee. But running to the coffeehouse everyday can financially add up.

Easy Low-Calorie Menu Solution-Asian Inspired Cole Slaw & Lean Cuisine #FrozenFavorites

Eating healthier & in moderation is something we are all doing this time of year. The problem is trying to keep up our new habits throughout the entire year. I'm very fortunate that I am provided 1 meal a day during the workweek outside the home but the meal is not a low calorie lunch. Also, depending on the meal it may not quench my palette that day. If I'm craving a nice salad or some fresh veggies, I have to get order out which can add up throughout the work-week. Luckily, I can pull out Continue Reading

I shall make my own to save my family money. I have spent the last month perfecting this recipe to suit my own needs. It's not rocket Continue Reading
