Apparently everyone and their mother! It had been years that people would ask me if I wanted a cup of coffee that I have replied, "No, thank you". When I replied I never had had coffee they sat in shock. I always wondered why this was so shocking? Why were people so into it? I thought they were weird for thinking I was weird for not liking it! UNTIL...I decided mommy needed a 'safe' vice. I forced myself to try it out one day. It took a few tries to get my cup the way I apparently 'like it' and BANG! It hit me...the caffeine, the warmth of the coffee and apparently the power to make one a bit happy and cheerful when not so happy and cheerful!
Scott finds this very funny-he thinks I am a bit obsessive (which could be true!)...because I have pretty much purchased a can of coffee from every place I visit...Trader Joes, Uncle Giuseppe's etc... There are so many types of specialty coffees and different flavors! Why not try them all! If you have any favorites...feel free to share!

YES!!!! Another one bites the coffee dust. :)
With me, its all about a strong coffee (French Roast or Sumatra or espresso -- Illy is AWESOME), a glug of 2% milk, and some nice sweet stuff. My favorite sweetener right now is Agave syrup. It is sweeter than sugar, so you use less of it, which equals less calories! And it gives your coffee a nice warm taste, like you used brown sugar instead of white. Also, it is liquid, so it melts really easy, making it perfect for ICED COFFEE!!!
Also, a Starbucks skim latte (tall) has like 100 calories, so its a great afternoon snack -- protein, calcium and a nice caffeine jolt all in one!
Just call me your Caffeine Enabler. :)
You and I have a ying/yang thing between us. I just gave up coffee last week. I wonder what would happen if I started drinking it again...
I'm actually having a cup right now......it's a quarter to 3 in the afternoon.......LOL.........
Okay so we'll have to have a coffee demo one day because this was way too much info marie! I never knew about different sugars...i just use the organic brown! Can't wait to share a coffee- you can still do that when you're prego right? i never had to know that!!!
YES!!!! I love it!!!!!!! I LOVE COFFEE. I LOVE IT SO MUCH I call it KAAAAAAWWWWFEEEEEEEEEEE! I like dunkin when on the go. I like chock full 'o nuts at home. I make it strong. I mix it light and sweet. We call it "life" in my house. Welcome to the club.
Oh and don't ever get some crazy idea that you want to give it up. You will get the nastiest mother of all headaches. It does not like to be betrayed.
