If you take dark chocolate, coffee ice cubes and milk, throw it into a Vita-Mix and hit ‘high,’ is there any possible way that you can go wrong? If so, we don’t want to know. Watch Brandi combine all this rightness into a delicious smoothie and then treat herself to a smoothie + Espresso Chocolate [...] Recipe: Cocoa Blanca

Last weekend, we had wonderfully unseasonable warm and sunny weather which almost made us think summer was quick upon us! And then April returned in all her damp glory. So even though the days are getting longer in the Pacific Northwest, we’re still looking for something cozy to warm us up a bit. This yummy [...] Brewin’ with Brandi: Kiss Me, I’m Irish (Coffee)!

Brandi’s creation this week is truly, utterly dangerous. It’s one of those concoctions that could be either really, really good for you … or really, really bad.

As you walk into your local cafe and notice a 3-year-old sitting in the corner with his mother sipping on what looks like a foamy, velvety cappuccino, don’t doubt your vision: That’s exactly what it is. And because its a fad it’s gotta have a cutesy amalgam of a name, right? Yup — it’s called [...] Cooking with Kaylie: Espresso Vodka Brownies with Ganache

If there is one thing I have learned over the last few weeks, it is that coffee and chocolate were meant for each other. I should have known. After all, who doesn’t love a good mocha? And chocolate covered coffee beans? Delicious! So, when Brandi came to me with a recipe idea that would add [...] Brewin’ with Brandi: Chocolate Espresso Cupcakes with Hazelnut Cream Cheese Frosting
