Wake Up To A New Brew Every Morning - Boca Java Gourmet Coffee

The first thing I do, when I wake up in the morning, is pour myself a cup of coffee (okay...maybe not the FIRST thing I do, but pretty close!)  I just can't seem to start my morning off without having that first cup.  What's even better...my coffee is already ready, thanks to a programmable coffee maker!

The smell and fragrance that invites me every morning is just too hard to ignore.  Whether it be Columbian, Arabica or French Roast, coffee is my to-go friend in the morning. My normal coffee everyday is either a medium-dark French roast or Columbian, but sometimes, I want to try something a little bit different...a gourmet blend of coffee.

BocaJavaCoffee  has these wonderful flavored coffees that are available in either an 8 oz. package, 3 packs, gift sets or Coffee of the Month. There are some very unique (and delicious) flavors in these packs and let me tell you, my favorite by BocaJavaCoffee is hands down, the Sookie's Gourmet Blend!  It has a creamy and smooth sweet vanilla flavor with buttery caramel and Kahlua.  OH YES!  I can definitely taste the sweet vanilla, caramel and Kahlua in every sip and it tastes...Oh So Good!

How cute is this Gilmore Girls pin!  It's like a giant button that sits on your counter and also acts as a magnet!

BocaJavaCoffee has SO many flavors to choose from.  Here are some of the flavors I've tried by BocaJavaCoffee:

     *Luke's No-Nonsense Special
     *Mrs. Kim-Approved Dark Roast
     *Sookie's Gourmet Blend (My favorite!)
     *Stars Hollow Autumn Festival
     *Taylor Doose's Town Meeting
     *Stars Hollow Winter Festival

Luke's No-Nonsense Special has a bright and subtly sweet medium from Africa and South and Central America.

Mrs. Kim-Approved Dark Roast has a dark blend of Central and South American beans that offer a flavor to French Roast.

Sookie's Gourmet Blend has an exotic blend of sweet vanilla, buttery caramel and rich Kahlua.

Stars Hollow Autumn Festival has Pumpkin Spice and everything nice!  Has a sweet and enticing flavor of a heartfelt holiday favorite - Pumpkin Pie!

Taylor Doose's Town Meeting has an overflowing of flavor with a smooth and creamy coffee delight with the taste of toasted hazelnuts.

Stars Hollow Winter Festival has a rich and creamy chocolate with sweet, exhilarating mint flavor.

I cannot wait to try the Stars Hollow Autumn Festival.  I absolutely love pumpkin pie and to have my coffee flavored as the same as my FAVORITE pie...this should be a treat!

These are just a few of the flavors that BocaJavaCoffee has.  Check out their Etsy Shop for tons more flavors that are just too good to pass up!  You can also join their Gourmet Coffee Club that offers 10% off coffee, Free sample and only $3.95 shipping.  You can join today by visiting: bocajava.com/freebag.  You will find over 150 coffees to choose from, that are roasted and shipped the next day!

Huey's Restaurant - #Restaurantreview

When I visit Memphis, and I'm winding down the night and looking for something to eat (especially having a few drinks on Beale Street), one of the first things I want is a burger...don't ask me why, it just seems to just end up that way!  There are many places that serves burgers in Memphis and many that are within walking distance from Beale Street ( this is one of the infamous streets everyone hangs out on) and are all good, but one of the places that I am familiar with, is Huey's.  

Huey's is located in downtown Memphis, Tn. on 77 S. 2nd St., as well as many other locations.  They have several in the Memphis area, as well as Collierville, Tn, Southhaven, MS, Cordova, Tn. and Germantown.  But, if you are strolling down Beale Street in Memphis and want the closest Hueys, 77 S. 2nd Street is just a few blocks over.

Huey's serves more than just burgers. They have an enormous menu to choose from ranging from shrimp baskets, Po Boys, catfish baskets, appetizers of all kinds, grilled chicken and chicken tenders as well as their Famous Huey Burgers. The options are endless.  This time, I decided to try something a little different. I went with the Shrimp Po Boy.  If you're not familiar with what a Po Boy is, it a sandwich that is served on a hoagie bun, topped with shrimp, chicken or other meat.  My shrimp po boy came with round disks like shrimp that was deep fried, of course, topped with tomato, lettuce and a side cup of buffalo sauce.  

This po boy was almost more than I could eat, but I did manage to get half of it down!  I was in Memphis with my son and my husband who both decided to go with the steak sandwich, which consisted of a 7 oz. tenderloin fillet, tomato and lettuce, served on a buttered toasted hoagie bun.  They both devoured it!  I didn't get to try their steak sandwich, but by the looks of it, they seemed to love it and didn't leave a trace of it behind.  My po boy was awesome.  The shrimp had just enough of the crispiness from being fried and the buffalo sauce gave it that extra kick that I like in a sandwich.

 As my side item...Sweet Potato Waffle Fries. I like that these were served, waffle cut instead of the traditional cut fries.

Huey's is a very popular place among the locals and tourists.  We arrived right at opening time, 11:00 am and before we left, there was not an empty seat in the restaurant. It seemed like everyone was taking advantage of the alcoholic drinks that were on special, which included the Bloody Mary, Mimosa and Screwdriver.  I, on the other hand, went with the house margarita!  It was served in a mason jar with a straw (the mason jar is a Southern thang!)  I loved how this drink was served, Southern style!

Oh, and as far as the feel on the inside of Huey's...well...take a look.

Are you wondering what those little prickly things are on the ceiling?  Well, this is a thing that every local (or tourist) tries their hand at...or should I say mouth?  These are toothpicks, the ones that come in your burger or sandwich. You take the toothpick, place it in your drinking straw and shoot it up toward the ceiling by blowing the toothpick up toward the ceiling...hoping it sticks. Needless to say, I didn't quite make it half way!

If you want to get a feel of what Huey's has to offer, go visit their site at https://hueyburger.com   I think there is something to please just about everyone.  I had a hard time choosing, because there are so many wonderful choices on this menu.

Fit Wrapz - Sports Nutrition Meals

I'm very leery about a food product that I really like, known to be unhealthy, to become a nutritious and healthy meal.  Burritos, whether their for breakfast or for lunch or supper, are a very convenient, fast and the meal I enjoy at least once a week.  I usually feel a little guilty eating my breakfast burritos, as they are packed with sausage, cheese, lettuce and egg stuffed in a white tortilla shell.

Now, I don't have to feel as guilty.  These Fit Wrapz, by Fit Wrapz, Inc. are not only absolutely delicious and fulfilling, but they are nutritious and contain tons of protein, fiber and low in calories.  My favorite was the Original Breakfast Burrito.  It was packed with ground turkey, cheese, onion, red potatoes, egg whites and whole wheat tortilla.  Let me tell you...this burrito was very well seasoned, was not greasy at all, and was very very filling.  I could barely eat the whole burrito.  The burrito is also a very generous size burrito, which I love.

The Original Breakfast Burrito has 6g of fiber, 25g protein and 350 calories.  My next favorite was the Green Chili Burrito.  Every one of these burritos are very very good and I was very pleasantly surprise on how good that tasted.  Personal trainer and nutrition counselor, Shige Toyoguchi, developed the Fit Wrapz to provide a convenient and nutritious meal that is not only delicious, but has the macronutrients balance to fuel elite athletes.  There are four Fit Wrapz flavors: Original Breakfast Burrito, Breakfast Burrito with Maple Sugar, Green Chili Chicken and Barbeque Chicken.  

These Fit Wrapz boosts energy, ready in less than 3 minutes, perfect meal for any time of day, 51% Whole Grain, Low sodium and Low Sugar, contain only 350-380 calories and low in cholesterol and saturated fats.  They arrive at your home in a styrofoam box, packed with ice.
