How I order my coffee

Okay so anyone who knows me knows I love coffee. I use to be the girl who would order the flavored lattes or blended coffee drinks, but that has changed. Now that I have cut sugar out of my diet, I have changed my usual order.

1. When I just have regular old coffee I just usually just add half and half to it. You may ask isn't that more fattening than a coffee with skim mil;k? It is but... half and half has less sugar in it than milk- any milk for that matter. Sometimes if I have it at home I will even use heavy whipping cream in my coffee- not whipped of course- just straight out of the container. Surprisingly, it has even less sugar in it. I usually can drink coffee without adding sweetness to it, but on occasion I will add a package of stevia to my coffee.
Stevia is a natural form of sugar but doesn't effect your blood sugar like sugar would.

2. On to lattes- if I do decide to splurge on a latte I will order it breve style( which means with steamed half and half). Sometimes, I want some added flavor, so if I do get syrup in it...it is always sugar fee syrup. Sugar free Hazelnut is probably my favorite.

3. But my new discovery is a cafe misto or cafe au luit(same drink just called different names at different coffee houses) Starbucks is the only one I know that calls it a cafe misto. Everywhere else it is call a cafe au lait. What is it you ask? It is half coffee and half steamed milk. Of course... I get it breve style. I get this drink most often because it is about half the price of a latte and tastes almost identical. Plus, depending on the type of coffee you chose- it may contain more caffeine in it than the espresso would. I like the steamed half and half better than pouring it from a container because it doesn't turn your drink cold. Plus, I love the frothy milk.

How do you like your coffee?

My first post

This is my first blog post. I thought I would tell you a little about myself and what my blog will be about. I am a mom of 4 kids and have been married to the love of my life for 11 years. I work full time and I am also going to school to become a RN. I recently got into the blog world a few months ago. I am really into the nutrition blogs. I have recently have changed my eating habits as well. I have cut all sugar and white flour out of my diet. I feel so much better and I have lost weight from it. I hope to have pictures for you soon. I want this blog to give others ideas who are choosing the same life style. I hope to have new products to show you and recipes as well.
