I love Penzeys. They have an amazing selection of herbs and spices. And this weekend through March 8, 2020, you can score Joy of Cinnamon pack or the Salt & Pepper time packs for just $5 each, either online or in-store!
In addition to the Regularly $4.69 Arizona Dreaming for only $2 and $2.95 Cracked Rosemary for $1 each they are offering two gift boxes great for introducing new customers to Penzeys for just $5 each! Arizona Dreaming is great on meat, roasted veggies, or in chili.
The regularly $18.95 Joy of Cinnamon Gift Box is fun and is an awesome way to show the difference really good Cinnamons make to life. And the regularly $22.95 Salt & Pepper Time Gift Box makes a great addition to any kitchen!
And because Penzeys is all about giving back, for every Jar of Penzeys Pepper they sell, even in a discounted offer like this one, another is given to those who feed those in need.
We have a pretty good selection of Penzeys herbs and spices in our cupboard, but I am always adding more when they have deals like these.

I love Cross Country Cafe! They always have great deals, contests, and recipes!
Right now, they are running a contest for FOUR full-size boxes of French Roast K-Cup® coffee pods! Enter to win before March 30th, 2020.
One of the ways that we stay on budget is to limit how many coffee shop beverages we have each week. I load $25 every two weeks onto my Starbucks card. Honestly, it’s usually used on treats for the kiddos.
I make a big pot of French Roast Coffee each morning and make our coffee shop style beverages with it as the base. Here are a few of our favorites:
Quick & Easy Misto (aka a Cafe au Lait)
Ingredients:
Directions:
Quick & Easy Mocha: If you love a Cafe Mocha to start your day, simply add 2 T. of your favorite Chocolate milk mix or instant hot chocolate (I like this dark chocolate hot chocolate) to the milk before your heat and froth it. Follow the same directions as above.
Caramel Macchiato: Pour 1 cup, hot frothed milk into your mug, followed by 6 ounces of very strong hot coffee. Top with a little more foam, and drizzle caramel syrup over the top of the foam.
Cinnamon Dulce Latte: Pour Coffee into mug, add steamed milk and two pumps/Tablespoons of Brown Sugar Cinnamon Syrup. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Cooled/leftover coffee makes GREAT iced coffee. Simply pour over ice, add any milk and sweetener/syrup you’d like and serve. YUM!
For an Iced Mocha, mix 2 T. of your favorite Chocolate milk mix to the milk before adding it to your ice and coffee.
I love the Torani Sugar Free syrups, they come in over 40 flavors and most of them are great in coffee. We like the following flavors:
And Cross Country Cafe has a new recipe on their blog: Almond Milk Honey Flat White. Yum!
If you start your morning with a protein shake, here are a couple recipes for coffee drinks that use protein powder in place of milk.
