This is my pottery coffee cup in which I enjoy my morning brew - it is over 45 years old. Love it ~a gift from a dentist.
Years ago when I was a working gal, I got hooked on Tim Horton's Cafe' Mocha's --then I discovered the calorie count of those Mocha's. so I tried an alternative in my kitchen. Now, I enjoy my home-created Mocha every morning. I can hardly drink a Tim H Mocha as it is way too sweet for me now. I am glad that it is - I have saved money and calories! Below is my Recipe with calorie count [beats the high calorie coffees out there and the price is right - just saying] - thank you for dropping by, blessings, Gail
Gail's Home-Created Mocha-Recipe
1 cup of your favorite coffee - I make my coffee through my Keurig machine [zero calories]
1 cup unsweetened Vanilla Milk Non-GMO by Silk [30 calories Silk Milk]
1 Tablespoon of Hershey Cocoa[10 calories]
1 Package of Sweet Leaf Organic Stevia Sweetener [0 calories]
Heat the milk, Cocoa, Stevia on the stove - to desired temperature - pour in the hot coffee - stir - enjoy these two delicious cups. Not sweet enough? It's gonna cost ya in Calories but add 1 Tablespoon Simply 5 Hershey Syrup - stir - 45 calories] If you add whip cream - that is adding more calories - just saying.

Such a fun card design, love these coffee rings you used!
ReplyDeleteAnother pretty card! And what a wonderful cup!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and even more gorgeous mug. I collect handmade pottery mugs so this really caught my eye. Love that you've had it for a long time. The perfect gift!
ReplyDeleteI like how you used the TH coffee stencil. Like the mug. It's great how some things like mugs can stand the test of time. Seems I break a juice glass or some such glass in my cupboard every yr and fortunately not broken any mugs.
