-โ˜•๏ธ The Morning Menu Gave the cold brew a day off -โ˜•๏ธ The Morning Menu

Gave the cold brew a day off and went back to espresso this morning. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜•๏ธ

Double espresso over ice, topped with cold foam, and exactly the kind of coffee I wanted today. ๐ŸคŽ

Sometimes thereโ€™s no experimenting, no new combinationโ€ฆI just want a really good coffee. And this was it. ๐Ÿ˜‚

-๐Ÿฅ Fresh From the Bakery Halloween baking has off -๐Ÿฅ Fresh From the Bakery

Halloween baking has officially entered the chat. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿช

Brown butter monster cookies loaded with chunks of 70% dark chocolate, chocolate chips, orange + brown M&Mโ€™s, and Halloween Oreos with that bright orange filling.

Big, thick, chewy, a little ridiculousโ€ฆand exactly what a Halloween cookie should be. ๐Ÿ˜‚ The dark chocolate and brown butter really did their job on this one.

Safe to say spooky season baking is off to a very good start. ๐ŸŽƒ๐ŸคŽ

Salted Maple Vanilla Cold Brew๐Ÿ๐ŸคŽ

Okayyy this combination was SO good. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Cold brew with vanilla maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, and a little salt, topped with pumpkin cinnamon roll cold foam.

The salty maple-vanilla coffee with that pumpkin cinnamon roll foam?? Yeahโ€ฆno changes needed. She can stay on the menu. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜•๏ธ

๐Ÿ Salted Maple Vanilla Cold Brew

* 8 oz cold brew
* 2 tbsp vanilla maple syrup
* Vanilla bean paste, measured from the heart
* Dash of salt
* Ice

๐ŸŽƒ Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Cold Foam

* 3 tbsp Horizon Organic Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Creamer
* Froth until thick + creamy

Pour it right over the cold brew and thatโ€™s it. Easy and ridiculously good. ๐ŸคŽ

- ๐Ÿฅ Fresh From the Bakery Made an olive oil cake - ๐Ÿฅ Fresh From the Bakery

Made an olive oil cake for the first time and Iโ€™m calling this one a work in progressโ€ฆbut a very delicious work in progress. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸคŽ

Soft, moist, simple, and finished with a very generous layer of powdered sugar, which was easily one of the best parts.

Is this my tried-and-true olive oil cake recipe yet? Not quite. Did we still happily eat it? Absolutely. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Sometimes you make the recipe, take notes, enjoy the cake, and try again another day. ๐ŸคŽ

September 1st, so obviously the cold foam needed pumpkin spice. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŽƒโ˜•๏ธ

Homemade cold brew with white chocolate and vanilla bean paste, topped with a thick pumpkin spice cold foam.

Sweet, creamy, spiced, and just enough pumpkin energy without actually putting pumpkin in the coffee. ๐ŸคŽ This one was GOOD.

๐ŸŽƒ Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew

Cold Brew

* 8 oz homemade cold brew
* 1 tbsp white chocolate sauce
* Vanilla bean paste
* Ice

Pumpkin Spice Cold Foam โ€” 3-2-1

* 3 tbsp heavy cream
* 2 tbsp whole milk
* 1 tbsp powdered sugar
* Dash of pumpkin pie spice
* Vanilla bean paste

Stir the white chocolate and vanilla into the cold brew, pour over ice, then top with freshly frothed pumpkin spice cold foam. โ˜•๏ธ๐ŸคŽ

Pizza night got a little carried away tonight. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ•๐ŸคŽ

Homemade pizza, garlic bread, salad with homemade Caesar dressing, and olive oil cake for dessert.

Apparently making the pizza from scratch wasnโ€™t enoughโ€ฆI needed to make the bread, dressing, AND dessert too. ๐Ÿ˜‚ No complaints over here though.

๐Ÿ• My Homemade Pizza Dough โ€” Makes 2 dough balls

* 450 g bread flour
* 7 g active dry yeast
* 6 g granulated sugar
* 2 tsp kosher salt
* 180 g (ยพ cup) warm water
* 180 g (ยพ cup) warm whole milk
* 2 tbsp olive oil

Combine the warm water + milk with the sugar and yeast and let sit for 5โ€“10 minutes. Add the flour, salt, and olive oil, then knead until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1โ€“2 hours. Divide into 2 dough balls and youโ€™re ready for pizza night. ๐Ÿ•๐ŸคŽ

Dinner at home continues to be my favorite restaurant. ๐Ÿ˜‚

๐ŸŽƒ Midnight Cookies & Cream Cold Brew

Meal prep is officially paying off. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜•๏ธ

Homemade cold brew with dark chocolate sauce, vanilla bean cold foam, and a crushed Halloween Oreo on top because apparently the cold brew needed a costume too. ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ˜‚

Chocolatey, creamy, just sweet enough, and still tastes like actual coffee. This one might need to stay on the menu for spooky season. ๐Ÿ–คโ˜•๏ธ

Yesterday we meal preppedโ€ฆtoday we filter. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜•๏ธ

After 12 hours of steeping, the cold brew is officially ready for the week. And yes, watching it filter was way more satisfying than it had any business being. ๐ŸคŽ

Now the important part: figuring out how many different coffees I can make with one pitcher. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Just doing a little meal prepping for the week. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜•๏ธ

And by meal prepping, I mean making a big batch of cold brew so every morning starts with one less decision.

Coffee steeped, fridge stocked, priorities exactly where they should be. ๐ŸคŽ

Now I just need to decide what weโ€™re turning it into all weekโ€ฆbecause drinking it the same way every day would be far too responsible. ๐Ÿ˜‚
