Starbucks Verismo Single Cup Coffee Machines

by pinkghost on September 24, 2012 in Gifts with No comments

I’m really excited about Starbucks’ new single serve coffee machine called Verismo. What makes this better than Keurig’s K-cup System is the fact that the Verismo can make espresso, brewed coffee and lattes. Don’t get me wrong, I own a Keurig brewing system and I am thoroughly addicted to the crazy amount of variety of coffees available. My favorite K-Cup flavors are the Millstone Hazelnut Cream and the Folgers Vanilla Biscotti – but I digress. The new Verismo can also make lattes! Starbucks has also released their Milk Pods along with their array of coffee pods.

Colombian Tacos Recipe

Colombian Tacos: half Colombian and half American, half store-bought and half homemade, totally unique and entirely delicious!

Colombian Tacos are also really easy to make.  Anyone can make these even if you’re not an experienced cook. Let me tell you how it’s done:

Juicing With The Veggie Mojito

by pinkghost on July 12, 2012 in Cooking, Gifts with No comments

Four our second juicer recipe we will make The Veggie Mojito.  We call it a mojito because it has mint but it tastes more like an exotic lemonade.  Nutritionists talk about a healthy diet having foods with many different colors.  You should eat bright foods of different colors and for example not eat all yellow foods like potatoes, rice, bread, etc.  With this juice you will definitely have taken care of your green food group.  Several people have asked if you boil the fruits and vegetables before putting them through the juicer.  The answer is no.  All the food that goes in the juicer should be raw – at least for the purpose of our recipes.
