Heading to the end of summer and my herb garden is still going strong. I’ve got fragrant bushes like rosemary, basil, sage, and lavender still offering up their best. I’ve been using my fresh herbs to enhance my cooking and infuse oils and vinegars. I even...

This recipe can be gluten free too, or made with “regular†lady fingers if you are not gluten intolerant. And even if you don’t have a problem with dairy, this is so creamy and delicious you won’t miss the cheese! It also tastes incredible with a...

I never used to like carrots. When I was a kid, my mom gave us a “choice” of vegetable that we didn’t have to eat for the whole MONTH! But it meant we had to eat any other vegetable she put in front of us. My “choice” was usually either...

Texas Sheet Cake is one of my favorite chocolate cakes from my mother’s recipe book that she’s had for years! It’s another one of those recipes where I have no idea where it originated from, I just know I like eating it. One thing that makes it so...

When Adam’s sister, Esther, told me (Nancy) that she was going to send me this Orange Juice Cake recipe, I was ecstatic! I love orange juice ( specially when it comes to my Orangina drink) and I love cake! Sounded like a winning combo to me. Here’s what...

Anyone who has spent even a small amount of time with me knows I have a weakness for marshmallows. Oh, how I love them! Especially in the fall and into the winter months… s’mores, cocoa, afternoon snacks! (don’t judge me) And this year as the weather started to...

This delicious Coppa Mascarpone was a recipe I learned while being stationed in Italy. It is literally translated “cup of Mascarpone”…sounds more exotic in Italian right? It’s a simple and satisfying dessert that, like most things, is made even...

I’ve been thinking about chili for a while. I make a decent chili. But I wanted a GREAT chili. I wanted something rich. I wanted something incredibly flavorful. I needed a selection of easy, healthy dinner recipes. And I wanted some chipotle peppers in my chili. I...

Thanksgiving is coming soon and of course Turkey is on the menu for our family! So I thought I’d try out a Coffee Rub I created and have my sister and her family over to try it out with an early turkey dinner. Needless to say, it turned out to be a huge success....

I need to let you in on a little secret. A secret that a lot of coffee companies would probably prefer I didn’t tell you, but I really feel compelled to spill the beans (no pun intended). So what’s this secret? The secret is that the darker coffee is roasted, the...

This cake is labor intensive, but delicious and wins the “people’s choice” award whenever we take it to a large public gathering! We always leave with many affirmations about it, which of course makes it worth it! You can also make some whipped cream...

I call this recipe Caramel Apple Chicken because, to me and my husband, it had a strong caramel taste that paired well with the apples and chicken. It was a big hit and we hope you’ll love it too. Â We enjoyed the tribute to fall and the subtle coffee taste that...

The coffee flavor in this recipe is subtle, but adds depth and character to compliment the beef. We used the Laos Peaberry, but you can use whatever coffee you have on hand. We tried a few different methods and this was our favorite. Check out http://dcwcasing.com/...

I keep having this recurring nightmare as I watch myself in 3rd person. I am running through a neighborhood street, dodging in and out of abandoned houses. It took me a while to realize what it was I was searching for. I keep looking behind me, as if my life is in...

So have you ever heard of the coffee “bloom”? I first heard of it a few months ago and figured it was some fancy way to describe the way coffee tastes. WRONG What I came to find out is that the coffee bloom is the result of freshly roasted coffee being...

 The Golden Triangle sounds like an award given to the world’s best orchestral triangle player. This is very far from the truth. The fact of the matter is the Golden Triangle refers to the second largest opium (heroin) producing region in the world. This term gets...

As I’m sure you’re aware, brewing a cup of coffee is a pretty simple process: Coffee grounds + hot water = Coffee That being said, there are tons of variables that go into the process that can change the outcome. For example: What kind of coffee are you using? How...

Communities Impacting Communities: It’s More Than a Bag of Coffee I’m just going to say it — I often think we are crazy! We started Mission Arabica to impact villages in Laos through coffee – for me it was to be a part of a vision, to work...
