BEST.COFFEE.EVER.

So Starbucks does this thing called a pour over. I describe it as a manual coffee pot.
Well I saw one at World market for $7 and had to get it! BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE!
It makes a personal cup of coffee for you, just in the last week we've saved money on coffee by not over using any or dumping any out. It's delicious, and sooo quick!

Here's how ya do it.

Heat your water!

(ignore how dirty the stove is! Literally this apartment is permanently dirty in lots of places, I CAN'T wait to move next year!)











Scoop your grounds into the filter. (2 Tablespoons for 8 oz.)

Waters done.

Saturate your coffee grounds, and wait as your most delicious cup of coffee gets done.

MMM :)















(On a side note: Don't get me wrong, this isn't actually my favorite tasting drip coffee, French Press is where it's at! But they are hard to clean, and I feel like take way more time. Also if you believe in the healthy vs non healthy benefits of coffee. It's believed that a lot of why coffee is unhealthy for you is the oils in it..French presses happen to keep those oils which causes for so much tastier coffee. But with paper filters it extracts the oils from the coffee. Which still causes for a great cup of coffee. little fun facts of the day)

I'm doing this AGAIN...

So I stopped blogging because honestly, I had NO IDEA what to write about. But now that I'm finally settled into a life of my own that's full of adventure I figured, it's.time.again!
It's been harder for me than I thought it would have been to keep in contact with people since I've moved, so this should be a good way to let you all know what's going on in my life!
Lets get started.

What have I enjoyed about being married may you ask, and what have I learned in these last 6 months.
Holy cow it is hard! But I love every single moment of it!
Cooking, cleaning, learning, working and figuring out each others differences are just a handful of what I've enjoyed the most! Let me share one of them with you today....

Cooking (:

This is what for dinner tonight.....
CROCK POT MAC&CHEESE! yummmmm!

Mac&cheese is one of Brent's favorites...not so much mine. So I figured it was time to try and meet in the middle somewhere, and this worked wonders! And was still just as easy as it is from out of the box!

Optional: pepper, mustard, basil, parmesan, sour cream, garlic, anything you like in mac&cheese.... =D

What to do:

cook your noodles! grease your slow cooker. cover those noodles with vegetable oil. Stir in everything else. cook on LOWWWW for 3-4 hours, after it's done shove in your face!...how easy peasy lemon squeezy is that?! Annd don't forget to mention how DELICIOUS! 

Hope you try it out for yourself, you won't regret it ;)
