Coffee + Convo 4

Hope everyone’s weekend went well! I spent the weekend dog sitting a beautiful pup, Sandy! She’s an adorable Goldendoodle and she has lots of energy!

RECIPE SNEEK PEAK

I’m excited for next week’s recipes. I’ve been waiting a long time to share them. As in, before I started the blog, long time! I’ll be posting a dessert recipe of cookies inside cookies (yep.) and a comfort bowl with mashed potatoes.

THOUGHTS

1. What About The Breakfast Club? This was an interesting read.  It makes me wonder, if The Breakfast Club was released today, would certain situations be handled differently?
2. Next Saturday, April 21, is Record Store Day! Yes, vinyl IS cool again. Here is a list of special release records. Honestly, I’ll probably buy something online, there aren’t many record stores close to me! Are you buying anything?
3. Levi leggings. I pretty much only own Levi jeans, I’m curious to see their leggings. I think I’d have to try them on first, I wonder if they live up to the hype?

FOOD I LOVE

1. Sticky Fig and Ginger Pudding: I had figs for the first time last week, and I’m now a fig lover. What took me so long!?
2. These Dark Chocolate Cookie Butter Cups look even better than Reese’s!
3. Chocolate Cheesecake Crackle Pie looks delicious, I’m a sucker for anything with chocolate.
4. Oolong Tea Blondies. When I worked at a coffee shop (best job ever) we sampled tons of teas. Oolong tea was a strange one, but I’d love to try this recipe!
5. I’ve been wanting to make Ginger Beer!
6. Crème Fraîche Pancakes with Bananas, Blueberries, and Toasted Hazelnuts. Yum, if that title doesn’t make you want to make these, not sure what will!
7. The only thing better than chocolate chip cookies? Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars!

MUSIC I’M LISTENING TO

1. Kississipi – Sunset Blush. A beautiful, ambient pop album.
2. The Wonder Years – Sister Cities. It’s always a treat to get a new Wonder Years record! The band has grown so much sonically and I I think it’s the best they’ve ever sounded.
3. Martha – Blisters in the Pit of my Heart. This is a cool band from the UK. I can’t stop listening to them! Catchy lyrics paired with good instrumentals.
4. Nervous Dater – Don’t Be a Stranger. Their new album somehow slipped past me, but now it will be added to my collection.
