I just love the fall time and all the aroma in the air. Pumpkin spice cookies, lattes, and apple pies. When my kids smell cookies baking in my oven they have this amazingly happy expression on their faces. I think, or better said, I hope read more

Sinful? Yes! Delicious? Yes! Double trouble? Yes!
I love double trouble, I live in the moment, I don’t plan anything in life ’cause most of the time I get disappointed so I go with a flow {literally}. I enjoy simple things and truly appreciate them. I take my coffee pitch black. With that being said, I love my vanilla latte from time to time, as well as ice-cream coffee.
When I was much younger, I’d drink coffee probably 4 times more than I drink today. I thought it will be the other way around when I get the kids, but go figure!
I fell in love with Talenti Coffee, Chocolate Chip Gelato. It is like drinking coffee in a gelato/ice-cream form, so I thought let me make it so I can actually drink it.
On the other note, hubster absolutely hates it, but he is not a coffee consumer, never was and really tried for so many years to understand him. Haha… I tried to turn him around, you know, to convert him into a coffee lover, but only what he likes is the smell of coffee, and sipping on it, Hm, not so much! Seriously, we are like two different peas in a pod, but so far it has been working for us. Despite our major differences, we balance each other.
One thing that most people don’t know about me, is that I wanted to open my own little coffee shop; Cozy, a few tables and a bar with pastries and coffee/tea, but on the side, separated little “soundproof” room with huge window for kids, so parents could have sort of speak “me time”, and watch the kids while they are playing. Whole idea or vision was buzzing in my head before I woke up and realized that I’m not that type of person to run that kind of business; planning, dedication, a competition that would probably kill me, and I am pretty much a free spirited person. Even though I like competitions, a little challenge I don’t think that’d pull it off, so why even bother… We can all dream, right?! But, nonetheless, I’d always hope that maybe one day that dream going to come true. (When I finally grow up :P)
Coffee and Ice-cream are always welcome, although I wouldn’t drink it every day, mostly because I like my coffee dark and not to look like a dessert… but once in a while, we can give ourselves simple pleasures in life or better said simple, tasty and pleasurable indulgences, something that makes us say:”Ahhh….”
If you don't have an espresso machine, use regular coffee maker. I like it with French Roast Coffee If you do not have Talenti Gelato, any ice cream that you have or like will do. However, this kind gives you such a deep flavor and aroma, irresistible for coffee lovers.
This soft and fluffy Sweet Red Bean Bread is filled with creamy red bean paste. Inspired by Asian bakery buns—easy, delicious, and perfect for sharing!
Let’s be honest—I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love bread. All kinds. But soft, sweet, warm bread filled with creamy red bean paste?
I love having sweet anything every day, in moderation, of course, but in reality, I am more going toward savory, rather than sweets. Ever since I got a box of these yummy Biscoff cookies I really had to brainstorm what I could make with them, read more
There are days when the sky feels way too heavy, like it’s carrying all the Monday moods on its gray shoulders. When clouds stick around longer than you’d like, even the strongest coffee feels like it’s giving you a polite shrug. Today? Oh, today was that kind of Monday—drizzly, dreary, and decidedly un-cheerful.
All I wanted was a little sunshine. Maybe a breeze that smells like spring. Or at least a patch of golden light to sneak past the curtains. But no—what I got was the sound of my son’s sweet little voice singing above my head:
“Mom, mom, mom… I’m hungry!”
And just like that, my cozy blanket fortress came crashing down. How do you say no to that smile? You don’t. You get up. Because mom duties wait for no one, even on the bleakest of mornings.
Monday mornings, am I right? They never get easier. But here’s the twist—my secret weapon to surviving them: a homemade Nutella latte topped with the fluffiest, silkiest cold foam you ever did see.
Ever since I won (yes, won!) a barista espresso machine, my mornings got a little brighter—and a lot tastier. No more half-awake Starbucks runs in pajamas.
Now, I get to sneak away for a few moments, whip up something warm, cozy, and a little bit indulgent, while my kids chatter nearby, begging for their own “Nutella lattes” after school. But you can totally make your own. Without a fancy shmancy barista machine.
Let’s be honest—this drink is less coffee and more dessert masquerading as a morning pick-me-up. Sweet, creamy, with that magic cold foam crown that somehow makes everything feel a little more special. Not my usual “strong and black,” but exactly what my soul needed today.
And guess what? You don’t need a fancy machine to make it—just a little love, some Nutella, and a frother or even a good shake in a jar.
Below, I’ll share my simple, warm, and cozy Nutella latte recipe, with a cold foam twist—and yes, there’s a kid-friendly version, too.
Because some days, what we need is a hug in a mug.
This Nutella latte is my small ritual of comfort, my little moment of sweetness when life feels heavy. Whether you’re battling Monday blues. Or just craving a cozy treat, may this cup bring a little warmth to your day.
