Happy Sunday! It’s a fun one planned for us as we’re enjoying the Halloween festivities later today. My son Joel is looking forward to dressing up in his fuzzy giraffe costume and trick or treating. We’ve tried to get him to say ‘trick or treat,’ but he’d rather say “yummy yummy!” instead. We’ll see how things go today and hopefully he’ll keep his costume on. We had a trial run on Friday at a kiddie Halloween party we hosted and he did fine with the costume for most of the day. Do you have any Halloween plans this weekend? Last week, my friends at Ulysses Press sponsored the giveaway with a generous offering of one of their tasty cookbooks, Artisan Pizza and Flatbread in Five Minutes a Day. A lucky reader will receive a copy of this delicious cookbook, filled with pizza and flatbread recipes that can be made in minutes! A special thanks to St. Martin’s Press for sponsoring. Here’s a big Congratulations to the winner of this past week’s giveaway! Please shoot me an email at itsjoelen@gmail.com to claim your prize…

I’m definitely a coffee person. I love starting my day with a hot cup during breakfast. I also enjoy it as a mid-afternoon pick me up. And to wind down after a long day, a cup of decaf coffee soothes me before bed. Despite drinking coffee throughout the day, it’s always better when I pair my cup o’ joe with something to eat. Sometimes it’s sweet, other times it’s savory. It really depends on my mood and time of day. Now that it’s fall, I’ve been enjoying my coffee with both sweet and savory dishes including…

Regardless of what I enjoy my coffee with, for me it’s especially important that it’s good coffee. A favorite coffee at our house is Starbucks. I think it’s great they have their coffees available to make at home and they’re also readily accessible at major grocery stores.

    I grew up in an Italian-American family, and I have the absolute best memories of enjoying cannoli with my morning coffee. It was seriously a staple on our Sunday mornings!

    I recently started drinking coffee and have fallen in love! I'm not big on breakfast right away in the a.m. but if there's banana bread, count me in! There's just something great about that sweet bite followed by the zing of caffiene… woo!

    I'm gonna say cinnamon bun, but pretty much any sort of breakfast. I drink coffee throughout the day though, so it could be almost anything.

    I definitely like sweetened and flavored coffee! Cinnamon dulce latte is my fav from Starbucks! And the white chocolate peppermint mocha… can't wait!

    I love this giveaway! I am a Starbucks coffee addict 🙂 Fall flavors sound exactly like the pick-me-up my morning routines have needed lately. Also…a giraffe costume is probably the best costume I've heard of yet. Love.

    Definitely something sweet. I'm not too picky on what it is…as long as it's sweet. 🙂 Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

    I enjoy a toasted sesame seed bagel with plain cream cheese with my coffee. I think this stems from living a block from Duncan Donuts!
