Do you have an afternoon pick-me-up?
I have one. And it's mighty delicious.
Since a lot of my work at home is done on the computer, I am find that by the afternoon, I'm starting to drag. With David at work, this means I am car-less since we are a one-car family, so I'm not always able to leave and head down to the local coffee shop. My solution: International Delight Iced Coffee. I pour it over ice, and then sip and enjoy right at my desk.

Coffee Cheesecake Sopapillas
My niece makes a yummy dessert that she calls cheesecake sopapillas. She uses crescent rolls and cream cheese and an assortment of other ingredients. She's really good at making it and it's a treat that our whole family enjoys.
When she makes them, my husband and I like to have a cup of coffee with them. I was recently invited to try out Smart & Final's Ambiance line of coffee products, and I thought this would be a great time to try my own version of Courtney's sopapillas. With her

My Iced Coffee Gift for a Favorite Food Blogger
Remember how I made homemade marshmallows with Iced Coffee? I was sent new International Delight Iced Coffee to try and I liked it so much that I was inspired to see if it would work in making coffee marshmallows...and it did work!
One of the perks of being chosen to try this new Iced Coffee, is that I was able to share the coffee love with another blogger. I was able to pick a blogger of my choice and they would also be sent three 1/2 gallons of International Delight Iced Coffee.

As a coffee drinker, I love it when I have friends or family members who also enjoy a good cup of coffee. It's not unusual for me to give these friends gifts for Christmas that focus around coffee and this year is no exception.
This year, I am giving one of my friends (who will remain nameless for obvious reasons), a gift of Peet's Holiday Blend Coffee, as well as some breakfast items that I think she'll like. Breakfast is her favorite meal of the day and it ALWAYS includes
Apple-Cinnamon Coffeecake
This Apple-Cinnamon Coffeecake is a lighter version of traditional coffeecakes, full of apple and cinnamon. A perfect baked treat for a beautiful Autumn day.
David LOVES baked goods with his coffee. He enjoys coffeecakes, muffins, biscotti, donuts...pretty much anything that pairs well with coffee. Since I know this is the way to his heart, I decided to surprise him with something one weekend. Knowing his love of cinnamon, I thought an Apple-Cinnamon Coffeecake would be a perfect choice.

Coffee-Marinated Pork Chops
My husband and I are both daily coffee drinkers, so making baked treats or savory dishes with coffee is a perfect fit for us. It's always fun to see just how we can get our favorite coffee to expand beyond our coffee cups.
So, tonight was one of those ways. I made Coffee-Marninated Pork Chops - which was super easy and quite delicious. This marninade creates a tender piece of meat, with a slight sweetness. We grilled our pork chops, but you could probably also pan fry, broil or bake
