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.

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.
They are currently highlighting some of their popular coffees for the season and it's a delicious way to usher in the fall...
French Roast: Intensity, passion – what else could this coffee be, but French? Our deepest, darkest roast, with a smoky, extra bold flavor. Tasting Notes: Intense & Smoky
Italian Roast: Imagine a ride on your scooter and lose yourself in the winding, romantic streets of Rome. A sturdy dark roast with caramel notes perfect for any fall day – at home or abroad. Tasting Notes: Roasty & Sweet
House Blend: Enjoy the distinct flavor of our signature roast wherever your fall day takes you. Well balanced and always lively, like a breath of fresh autumn air. Tasting Notes: Lively & Balanced
Breakfast Blend: Clean, light-bodied and sparkling, Breakfast Blend might just make a morning person out of you. If you’re already a morning person you’ll love waking up to this special roast. Tasting Notes: Crisp & TangyThanks to my friends at Starbucks, they will be sponsoring this week's Sunday Fun Day Giveaway.

I love eating something sweet with my coffee. A yummy coffee cake would probably be my ideal treat but I will take a donut in a pinch:-)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy something a little sweet but not too sweet, like a scone!
ReplyDeleteAnything! I'm a coffeeholic. :)
ReplyDeleteCoffee cake, of course!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is a nice spiced doughnut, but normally it's just a breakfast bar...
ReplyDeleteDefinitely sweet! (Has to be to balance out the large amounts of milk and pinch of sugar in my coffee!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great giveaway!
Old fashion iced donuts......Yummy!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't discriminate...anything sweet or savory works!

ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteAnything really! But nothing too sweet because I like my coffee sweet. :)
ReplyDeleteI love my coffee with zucchini bread. Yummy.
