Monday Morning Coffee News
Happy Monday!

Coffee & Maple Syrup Glazed Turkey Bacon Recipe
A few weeks ago I bought a bottle of 100% Organic Maple Syrup for the first time - and it was an eye-opening experience. I'd never had the real stuff before and I fell in love with the subtler sweetness, not as overpowering as the fake stuff I've been using, and the just all over more mellow, natural taste.

The Cafe Mocha Nightcap recipe I want to share with you guys is essentially just making a rich hot chocolate and adding a shot of coffee booze, but it's perfect for cozy winter nights around the fire, alone or with company. Its rich and decadent tasting, with a nice boozy kick, and, once again, super easy to make! (You may be noticing a pattern here - I'm a big fan of simple recipes with minimal ingredients).
