Halloween Coffee Recipe!
As you should be well aware, Halloween is this coming Monday. What you should also be aware of is that Halloween is fun AND exhausting. Want to add a little less fear and a little more fun to your work day? Try this spin on a delicious cup of joe:
Ah yes, fun sized candies. Is there anything greater in the world? They give you all the sweet nostalgia of Halloweens past, but don’t add much to your waistline (It’s Halloween, treat yourself)!
By simply adding two fun sized Milky Ways (or other fun sized candies of your choosing) to your cup of coffee, you create an 80 calories beverage (not too shabby) that is filled with caramel, chocolatey, nougat-y goodness!
We recommend putting the candy bars in the cup before you brew, and helping the melting along with a spoon or fork. There will be some nougat chunks, but we like to think it only helps! Give it a shot and have a Happy Halloween!
Fancy Food Show Loot 2011
With the exception of the struggle to get into my jeans this morning, and the chocolate hangover, I have to say the Fancy Food Show in Washington D.C. was a delectable experience.
Putting aside Beltway policies for pasta, debt ceilings for dijon, and recession for ricotta, the entire event was an odyssey of setting aside the staid and embracing the au courant.
New visions and new versions of food; untested, out of the box; remixed and anything but boring.
I saw seas of spices, oceans of olive oil, and bays of brie. “Gluten Free” is the new “Low Fat” and real cane sugar is back (sometimes everything old is new again).
We used to just drink coffee, now we can slather it on our ribs, sprinkle it on our ice cream or marinade our chicken in a Java sauce. I found hard candy that mimics perfectly the taste of espresso, and tea candy that tastes like a green tea latte.
One common thread between the myriad of booths was that many companies set aside a certain percent of their profits to give back to their home communities, or national organizations that promote green energies and promote environmental sustainability.
At Alpine Valley we find these values to be important criteria in the choice of the products we present. We attempt to find family owned companies who feel responsible to their employees, and their communities, as well as the rest of the planet.
We think you will notice that our new product choices will have these qualities in common. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve found!
