Let’s face it. As much as the holidays are cheery and wonderful, they can also be quite stressful. If you’re anything like me, you’ve got lists upon lists, and then you misplace one, and everything falls apart. More than ever, I think this time of year it’s important to set aside a few minutes to …

—- This Giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Amanda S.! I hope you love your Keurig Mini Plus Brewer! —- We’ve come to the end of Fair Trade Week here on Bluebonnets & Brownies, and I hope I’ve convinced you why buying Fair Trade Certified products is important and yummy! I make no secret of …
You hear a lot of discussion in the news, on food blogs, and in grocery stores about organic food. Organic food is something my husband and I try to buy as much as we can, mostly because we think it tastes better, and because we prefer our food pesticide free. Another label that I think …
It’s not officially Fall in this house until our first shipment of Green Mountain Fair Trade Pumpkin Spice Coffee arrives. Not only am I a self-professed Pumpkin Spice Coffee hoarder – seriously, it’s kind of a problem – but I’m also kind of obsessed with creating delicious recipes using this sweet and spicy seasonal flavor. …

Much as James loathes tomatoes, (which I can eat straight from the vine like an apple, happily), I simply cannot abide blueberries. There are two exceptions to this rule, and …
Today marks the start of my second year as a Keurig K-cup Ambassador. If you follow B&B, you know that I have a ridiculous addiction to coffee, specifically Green Mountain Coffee, and my Keurig. Whether I were an ambassador or not, I would tell you how much I love their products. That’s pretty much the …
My well documented addiction affinity for coffee is not always without its perils: sometimes we spend more on coffee in a month than I’m really prepared to admit to the world, let alone myself. Coffee is one of those things in life that it’s worth shelling out the cash to get the best of, like …
Last week was pretty crazy around here. Between celebrating B & B’s anniversary, and dealing with a very sick cat that ended up in the Vet ER for several days, I thought I might lose a little bit of my mind. Milo before he got poorly sick, on his favorite blankie. It used to be …
