caffeine and coffee update {giveaway}

There is something so comforting about waking up on a slightly chilly day, grabbing a blanket and a hot cup of coffee decaf chai tea. 

Since it’s Monday and all, it’s time to get a little something off my chest.  It’s a good thing though!

Remember my grand plan to cut caffeine?  Well I did it!  I started slowly, reducing down to 1 small cup of coffee in the morning and limiting my caffeinated tea.  Then I switched to no coffee in the morning but caffeinated tea for a couple days.  Still I was waking up with a caffeine headache until I got my fix.

So I just quit.

No more caffeine, just decaf teas.

And I feel great!

It is amazing waking up, not NEEDING to get caffeine in my veins.  I still enjoy a warm drink in the morning and my decaf chai with soymilk does the trick.

Before I got to the final cup of coffee, I did try out something new.

I received 2 bags of seasonal limited edition coffees from foodbuzz and godiva coffee ~ caramel pecan bark and pumpkin spice.

I quickly opened up the pumpkin spice, brewed a pot a couple weekends ago and indulged in this slightly sweet, flavored coffee.  While I wouldn’t want it as my everyday coffee, it was a nice treat.  You could taste the pumpkininess, but it wasn’t overpowering.

Jacob wasn’t a bit fan, and I knew he wouldn’t be a fan of the caramel pecan bark either, so instead of just holding onto it until I decide I might want some coffee again, I’m going to give it away!

Yup that’s right, there will be three winners here.

One winner will receive the bag of Godiva Coffee~caramel pecan bark.

Two winners will receive coupons for $2 off any Godiva Coffee.

How was your weekend?

Mine involved our first dinner party feeding 9!  Jacob thought our house would be too small but it was just right.

I made 2 different kinds of lasagnas… pumpkin mushroom and spinach zucchini.

And of course donuts… double chocolate stole my heart.

Happy Monday!  Time to figure out breakfast… always a good time.
