I like my coffee HOT.
I like it so hot that right after I brew a hot cup, I typically stick my mug of coffee in the microwave for 40 seconds to make it extra hot.
As it turns out, I think this little habit of mine helps me savor my morning cup of coffee because I totally forgot to microwave it this morning and I practically gulped it down like water.
I’m feelin’ wired!
This is one of the reasons I have a hard time hopping on the iced coffee train. How do you not gulp it down like Gatorade!? When something tastes like Christmas in a cup I have a hard time pacing myself.
After a sweaty morning workout, I enjoyed my not-so-hot cup of coffee with a simple breakfast.
I topped a toasted whole wheat English muffin with peanut butter that melted into the nooks and crannies like a champ. Yum!
I also had a cup of key lime Oikos Greek yogurt on the side.
When it comes to flavored sweet foods, if there’s not a chocolate option available, I am almost always on Team Strawberry and rarely choose lemon or lime-flavored treats. However, I must tip my hat to the key lime Oikos Greek yogurt. It tastes like key lime pie mousse in a cup (and I love it in my key lime pie protein smoothie)! Our local grocery store seems to have trouble keeping it in stock, so I was excited to see it on sale again.
Now it’s time to get this day rollin’. I hope you have a great Saturday!
Oh! And before signing off, here’s a video for my fellow dog lovers: Dog teaches puppy to walk down the stairs. <—My heart almost exploded when I watched it this morning.
See ya!
Question of the Morning
- Iced coffee/ Iced tea: Yay or nay?
I like them both, but I inhale them, so I typically opt for hot coffee or hot tea so I can enjoy them for a longer amount of time. Savor it, baby!

I didn’t drink coffee at all until about a year ago. I started with iced coffee and now I’m ADDICTED. To all coffee! I love it! Thankfully, I’m still able to survive without it, I’m definitely not like some people and have withdrawals if I don’t have a cup in the morning!
I love coffee pretty much anyway: ice cream, yogurt, tiramisu, hot coffee, but I absolutely love iced coffee!!! I have to make myself not gulp it down. I crave it even during the winter!
I really am not a coffee drinker, but I do enjoy the occasional iced white mocha from Starbucks, but usually just as a sweet treat. I do LOVE iced tea though!
I always nuke my coffee right after brewing it, too! And then a few times while I drink it.
Sometimes iced coffe hits the spot for me on a really warm day but I always finish it off quickly! I even order a venti at Starbucks (grande warm) just because I know it’ll be gone in 2 seconds!
I am completely an iced coffee girl in the summer. I fill my large tervis with crushed ice, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, cinnamon, then I pour the coffee on top and mix it together. It’s wonderful! Especially in Columbia, SC where I think it is literally built over h-e-double hockey sticks in the summer.
I am so passionate about my hot coffee and I totally understand, I love mine extra hot too! I drink it like that even on the hottest days. Something about a hot cup of coffee in the morning makes me so happy regardless of the temperature outside 🙂 I love savoring every sip!
I love a dark roasted coffee nice and hot too! Have you tried to “prep” your mug before pouring coffee inside? Either fill it with boiling water beforehand, and let it sit for a minute, or put tap water inside and microwave for 60-90 seconds and then let it sit. It’s an extra step but then the mug is nice and warm which doesn’t cause your coffee to instantly cool down.
I’ve really enjoyed reading your blog, especially about your half marathon training. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love all sorts of coffee. But since I live in chilly WI iced coffee is only appropriate in the summer months. Otherwise I’d be drinking it iced on the daily.
I’m not always a fan of lime flavored things…..haven’t tried the Oikos yet though!
This weekend my hubby and I took a trip to Colorado to ski. In the airport waiting for our plane I saw someone posted that video on facebook. I clicked on the link and literally cried watching it – I have issues. I made my husband watch it and he was like “are you seriously crying right now?”. I blame hormones, and my intense love for dogs!
