Dinner's Ready...Not! How To Make Me A Perfect Cup Of Coffee~{Sin In A Cup}

How crazy is this? {In the scope of LIFE-not that crazy, but for me-crazy!}
I didn't even drink coffee until I was thirty!
Then, somehow I was hooked like the addict I am. It is not that I drink it all day, I don't-but I must have a cup to start each day. One cup. Then I am good to go~Before that one cup-I am not who you want to be talking to in the morning. I am not a morning person....

Here is how to make a perfect cup of coffee for me.

Like if I come for a visit.
{If you live in Florida-I would REALLY like to visit!}

Gather the necessary ingredients:


{I KNOW there is no coffee in the picture! That is a Given! ;) }
{...and-If you don't have them, go to the neighbor's and beg-she usually will help out!}
Fill the cup with 1/3 cup milk, and 1/3 cup creamer...{I know-I am just terrible! I really like coffee with my CREAMER!}
Fill the mug to the tippy-top with coffee. {Flavored coffee-toffee or vanilla, freshly ground works best-}
Add some whip, And then sprinkle with a touch of cinnamon:
Ta-Da:


{Notice the mug: Huge! When I say one cup- guess I mean I have TWO cups all at once!!!}

How do you take your coffee?

You are so fancy! :) I drink my 3 cups every morning just plain. No sugar, cream, etc. Just pain black coffee, extra strog. I have cut back on the caffeine and mix decaf in there so that poor baby #4 won't be born totally addicted! Have a great week!!

I love my coffee too! I used to be just a one cup girl. I wish I could say that now but I usually have 2-3 depending on how busy I am in the a.m. I like the powdered flavor creamers by Nestle best. I like the chocolate and vanilla carmel. When I'm out I like the Starbuck's Pumpkin spice and the Vanilla latte's or the cinnamon spice ones. I love cinnamon too.

I love coffe! Gotta have it right after I wake up. My favorite is Hazelnut Coffee!! (regular is good too) I take two tsp sugar, 1 heaping spoon of creamer (flavored or plain) I never put whipped cream on the top of my coffee at home but at McDs when you get a hot Mocha they put whipped cream and chocolate on top! Yumm.... I think Ill go have a nother cup of joe right now!!!

That's so funny! I just started drinking coffee too, for a pick me up in the morning (and it's working), and aside from the sweating, I'm enjoying it. I like mine more like a milkshake too. (LOL). I've been trying to keep up with my calories the past week or so and I figured that my cup of coffee with sugar and milk is about 79.5 calories and I have two cups usually. I did the calorie count on yours too (not that you asked, but I was just curious, because I too add creamer and whipped cream from time to time). My calculations came out to be about 207.5 cal and about 5 g of fat. And hey, I aint judging...did you see my post on "Sin in a Cup?" Yeah girl, I ate that beast! LOL So, if just one fully loaded cup o' joe is what you need to get going, I say go for it! I'm not changing my sugar and milk concoction for nobody! LOL

I am like you... a little coffee and lots of creamer. I, too, am like you in the fact that I didn't drink even drink coffee until I was about 28 or 29. I have never topped my coffee at home with whip.... hmmm something new to try (and probably get addicted to!)

Oh I'm giggling at your recipe. Coffee with your creamer - ha! I like STRONG coffee with half and half. It has to be super hot, too. Or a latte will do - if I only had more fun money!

Now that is what I call a CUP of coffee!! Yummy!!
I am with you --like it sweet and flavorful. I didn't start drinking coffee until I was 35---it is a habit for sure now!!

I only drink coffee if there's no tea available. It's tea, tea, tea for me. I am drinking gallons at the moment to keep me warm. We have been hit by snow AGAIN!
