Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! I started this blog so I could share with others my love of cooking and my successes and failures that go along with it. I am definitely not a baker or chef but I certainly like to try! I hope you enjoy looking through my recipes and experiences - maybe you can relate! And if you have any tips or ideas please feel free to share!

Mocha Frappaccino

.
These are my weakness. A Starbucks grande Mocha Light Frappaccino. But at $4+ they take a major toll on my bank account. Lucky for me, I figured out a way to make them at home! It took me several attempts and failed every time until one day I struck gold!

These homemade mocha frappaccinos are so good! I prefer these now because I can make sure that they're exactly how I like them. AND they cost way less and even save you about 40 calories! How can you beat that??

For all you fellow Starbucks junkies, enjoy the extra money in your pocket while satisfying your craving!

Homemade Mocha Frappaccino

2 cups ice
2 splashes (about 1/4 cup) nonfat milk
3/4 cup strong coffee
3 swirls (about 2 tbs) lite chocolate syrup
2 cap-fulls vanilla extract
1 tbs+ sweetner (sweeten to your liking)


Combine all ingredients into a blender (I usually add it in the order listed). Blend until smooth and all ingredients are mixed together. Put it in your favorite cup or tumbler and indulge!
