Coffee is a big deal in my house. We love to go to that big name coffee place and grab a specialty coffee but gosh darn it, there isn’t one close by and they are expensive. So, we decided to work on making some of our favorites at home using our Keurig and Green Mountain Coffees NEW Barista Prima Coffeehouse K-Cup portion packs.

Keurig

We have had a little too much fun doing so. I brought you our homemade version of a Pumpkin Spiced Latte HERE. Today, we are making a Salted Caramel Mocha Latte! It just happens to be my favorite. Coffee, Caramel and Chocolate, how can you go wrong?

 

Salted Caramel Mocha Latte

salted caramel mocha latte ingredients

 

Ingredients:

1 cup milk, steamed
1 cup very strong coffee (I used Green Mountain Coffees NEW Barista Prima Coffeehouse K-Cup Italian Roast but any of the stronger blends will work)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
2 tablespoons of sugar
2 and 1/2 tablespoons caramel coffee syrup (I bought mine at our local dollar store. Feel free to adjust to your taste)
Whipped cream
Caramel Sauce
1/8 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt

Directions:

Prepare your Keurig and brew 1 cup of coffee

In a pot, heat up one cup of milk until it is steaming. Froth the milk with a wire whisk or a blender until it is nice and foamy.

~If you use a blender…make sure you put your lid on good. I had a BIG mess. LOL~

In your coffee cup, mix together the prepared coffee, cocoa powder, sugar, and caramel coffee syrup until the sugar and cocoa powder are dissolved and there are no lumps. Pour the milk foam over the top of the coffee/mocha mixture and stir. Top with whipped cream, a generous drizzle of caramel sauce, and your pinch of salt. Another way you can play with this recipe…since I do not liked whipped cream on top of mine I simply added the caramel sauce and salt into my cup and mixed it up.  DE-lic-ious!! Think I will go have another.

How easy is that? Yep, simple! And delicious! And costs so much less than visiting a coffee-shop!

” I was supplied with some Barista Prima K-cups to help facilitate this post. This is a new line by Green Mountain Coffee. All information, recipe, opinions, etc are all my own and I was in no other way compensated for this post.”

 

Cause and Effect. It isn’t a new concept but it is apparently one my family is just finding out about. My house is a wreck but no one seems to have made any messes. Nooo, that cup isn’t mine Mom, I swear…it just walked itself over to the coffee table and parked itself there. Did you know that cups now grow legs?

No one seems to know where that Mount Laundrymore came from either. Or why they have no clean clothes.

Or why there wasn’t a clean spoon in the house. Speaking of which, I bought new spoons after all of mine mysteriously disappeared awhile back, we are now missing half of those. I think we have a mysterious monster lurking in the shadows around here that likes to eat spoons. I call him Spoony and imagine him to be a metallic silver color due to all the metals he is ingesting. I keep hoping he is going to get silver poisoning and fade away but looks like he is still going strong.

So, the washer and dryer are working diligently, the dishwasher is humming along, I have gathered about 1,322 cups, haven’t seen a spoon in sight and am wishing I had one of those Project Manager Jobs so I could give orders instead of feeling like the janitor.

Hmmmph, I did at least hide all the good candy. That’ll show em to leave it all for me!

 

I remember as a kid seeing the door-to-door Stanley representative coming by the house. I don’t really remember any of the products that my Mom might have bought, but I can remember them coming by. Did you know that Stanley Home Products has been offering quality cleaning, home, and personal care products for 70 years? They still have Stanley Home representatives, which are the heart of the company, but you can also find them online now! And, if you are looking for a dependable at home business you can learn how to be an independent Customer Representative yourself.

Stanley Home Degreaser

Me though, I want to tell you about one of their products I have been using. Stanley Home has a new Degreaser Concentrate ; four times more concentrated than leading cleaners, it powers out tough grease build-up and stains wherever they’re found. Since you use less, you save more, for better results!  It is safe for septic systems, biodegradable, and phosphate-free. And it works GREAT! Bric is constantly getting grease stains on his khaki work pants, Tate is just a messy eater and always has stains on his clothes, and I have found that it works great in the laundry. I have also used it to clean the couch, the countertops, the grill, my smooth-top stove and numerous other things as they come up. This stuff works on just about EVERYTHING! I also like the way it smells. It rates an OhMyStinkinHeck good!!

What all can you use the Degreaser Concentrate for? Well, here are some of it’s uses:
