I know I am late to the game here, but I recently fell down the sourdough bread baking hole. I took a class for my birthday, and fell in love. My oven has been going, non stop, and while I am still learning with every loaf, I am having so much fun! How can I combine my latest obsession with coffee culture? I had two ideas, we will start with this one first; pairing a loaf with each of the coffees offered at Starbucks.
We will start on the lighter end of the spectrum, and move our way down. First up is blonde espresso!…
As the scent of blossoming flowers fills the air and the gentle warmth of the sun caresses our skin, it’s undeniable: spring has arrived. This season of renewal and rebirth inspires us to embrace the freshness that surrounds us, both in nature and in our kitchens. Join me as we embark on a baking journey infused with the vibrant spirit of spring.
Happy new year! 2020 was a wild ride, and while 2021 seems to be as well, I really miss blogging, I really miss creating content, and I really miss connecting with people. So here I am.. trying to make this a more regular thing. 😉 Recently, Starbucks released two new coffees in the retail channel (you will see me refer to this as CPG, consumer packaged goods) Spring Day Blend and Honey and Madagascar Vanilla. These are both pre-ground, and can be found in stores like Target or Walmart, or of course.. 
Long time no see. 🙂
Every once in a while a coffee just captures me. It swoops in out of nowhere, and perfectly occupies a space in my heart. I heard about this new coffee at the Seattle roastery and was intrigued; 
Fall is right around the corner, and even though it doesn’t feel like anything but summer in California, I am so ready for the change of the seasons. Normally, right now I would be drinking cup after cup of Anniversary blend, but we won’t have that treasure until after Christmas. Instead I grabbed one of my other fall favorites, which is not sold in Starbucks stores. You can find Fall blend at Target, Wal-Mart or 
Now that Burundi Ngozi is back, I am just a little bit obsessed with it, and I am sure you’ll see more pairings with this coffee. I have been so busy lately, and this coffee has really motivated me to get back into developing recipes and pairings. It is what I love to do most after all! Two updates in one week is pretty much unheard of over here, so enjoy it while it lasts! 😉
