I believe that I've mentioned before that I love coffee. Before I embraced frugality, Starbucks was a very bad habit of mine. After realizing how insane it was for me to shell out that kind of cash on coffee, I decided to start making my own. I tried lots of recipes, and intended to try many more. But, I found some favorites pretty early on and have stuck with those. Here are my favorites as well as a one that I haven't gotten around to making yet. Enjoy!
German Style Eiskaffee This is hands down my favorite homemade iced coffee drink! Better than a coffee shop in my opinion.
Cinnamon Mocha Coffee Wonderful hot coffee!
Irish Coffee- I love this stuff! Just mix 1 1/2 ounces Bailey's Irish Cream into one cup of good quality (hot) coffee. Top with a good sized dollop of whipped cream. I like to use the whipped cream in a can, lots of it.
Kiddo Coffee- The kids love this and it's so simple! I mix about 1/4 cup coffee, a teaspoon of sugar, then fill the mug up with milk. It's great for the times they want to have a cup with mama.
Pumpkin Spice Latte II This has been in my favorites for ages and I still haven't gotten round to making it. It looks divine! The "real deal" is my favorite coffee drink ever!
Coffee Cake- I found this recipe in my grandma's recipe box.
Crumb Topping
1 cup flour
1 cup brown sugar , packed
1/2 cup butter, softened

Starbucks is my definately my weakness! The cinnamon mocha sounds yummy!
Good morning, I came upon your blog and the "Texas Housewife" caught my eye. I too am from Texas. I love your blog, I will make sure to come back often. I wish I loved coffee, I love the smell just can't handle the taste.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Oh, I may just have to try this. My husband would thank you for it!
