Phew! We’ve been busy bees these last couple of weeks. Here’s some of the goodness we’ve been up to…
Beautiful weather = inspired dinners on our deck. The pups like the extra fresh air too!
pulled pork (crockpot!), soft corn tacos, butter lettuce, fresh pineapple, fancy carrots, sour cream
Jess & Stevie enjoying the deck
Ollie likes the deck too!
Cold brewed coffee makes the BEST iced coffee in the world. Psssst…it’s also fun to prettily package in fancy bottles & give to friends as gifts. Put it on your summer “to do” list…now.
cold brewin’…patience is a virtue & the payoff is delicious!
Secret birthday prize (blueberry lemon syrup) for Kris made with fresh blueberries & lemon (just add to carbonated water to make a perfect summer soda :: recipe later this week!) yielded yummy blueberry compote “leftovers”. The compote makes a yummy spread, yogurt accompaniment or angel food cake topping especially when mixed with fresh berries.
blueberry goodness x2
blueberry compote, Chobani 0% plain yogurt, blueberry muesli (Trader Joe’s) = protein & antioxidant packed breakfast
It’s that time of year again…when Diesel & Bloc 11 Café staff release their inner artists & create unique pieces for the staff art show (hosted by Diesel Café). It’s the perfect opportunity to check out the show, support local artists &/or your favorite barista & give art a good home. Tip: This is a great way to purchase really affordable art pieces to add to your collection…or a good excuse to start one!
Here’s one of three framed pieces in the #thecaffeinatedlife series by Jess (inspired by life stories & connections that happened at the café).
Jess’s art for Diesel Cafe staff art show (happening now!)…this one sounds a little familiar 🙂

I love that piece by Jess. So beautiful and sweet! What a great idea too.
@bklynmojo: awe…thanks! 🙂
