Do you Drink Coffee???

I get a non-fat latte every day at Starbucks. It is 13G of protein that I would not get otherwise. Starbucks has 3-4 different sugar free syrups that are pretty tasty if you are into them, I just like the taste of coffee. If you have kids, they have a $1 drink for them, hot chocolate, steamed milk, apple juice regular milk... just ask for kids size and it is like their small size. It makes up for the cost of the latte when I take the kids

Thanks Holly! I will have to try that non-fat latte!! Yes I am very into the SF syrups!!! My son will appreciate it too as he is a coffee lover (decaf only for him though as he is 12yrs old).

you can get it from beforeandaftereating.com Susan Maria's web site... she is a wonderful person (in person ) and has all sorts of great stuff

Thanks Jean I am bookmarking this!! I had heard of Susan Maria but have never been to her website!! I will give it a try this weekend when I have more time to browse!

the Modified Louetta Blend is a Chocolate Kahlua (50/50) caf / decaf blend that I only buy in 1 lb increments, and store in an airtight Tupperware in the freezer and then take out 5 seconds before grinding. I scoop out 4 scoops, and then return immediately to the freezer I grind it on expresso and when that is done, I knock all the grains down and grind it again on drip, to get the perfect powdered sugar consistency I pop in a two filters into lifetime filter and scrap all the grounds into the filter and pour 24 oz of reverse osmosis water in for my one cup. while it is brewing, in the32 oz cup I put 1 tsp of Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla, 1.5 heaping tsp of splenda, and 2 oz of organic valley 1/2 and 1/2 this is consumed in peace and quiet over 1/2 hour and there is no blood shed.

WOW Kat that sounds like alot of work but also sounds soooo Good! No blood shed hehe I agree!! Do they actually give you 1/2 an hour of peace and quiet??I will have to implement this in my household and see how well they take it!

I am constantly amazed at hearing from other mom's that their house is noisy with children around. even when we have friends over (currently there are three boys in the toy room, ages 6, 7 & 8) there is rarely noise to be heard outside of the door. I have been trying to teach my daughter how to raise a quiet and self entertaining child heehee so far she is just starting, but I am sure in 6 months, we will have Jordan behaving just as well. I find that while the children (my own 5 and my newly acquired 3) require a lot of 'attention' but overall, are very self sufficient and quiet so that I can get my 'time'. I do not think that enough moms demand peace and quiet. I do not know when or where I was able to go from the mom that couldn't talk on the phone without being interupted to the mom that was not disturbed very often.

I love it but my stomach doesn't. Had my first cup in several months this past Sunday and remembered why I don't drink it prior to going to work.

Ok I am going to implement a southern saying here * Bless Your Heart * I don't know what I would do without my coffee!
