I really like coffee.......

Some days I think coffee flows through my veins. Got to start the day off with a minimum of two cups. I go through periods of saving the grounds. The grounds get used in my garden and often I use them in my art projects. It's easy to use the grounds as a dye for paper or fabric.

Here are some other interesting uses for coffee grounds.

Pound Cake - Sweet Treats!

It's a cold, wet day here in SC. Feeling the need for warmth hatched the idea to bake something. So, after a search through the pantry and an ingredient check I came up with these sweet treats!




Chocolate Drizzled Pound Cake and Blueberry Bread

I used two packages of store bought muffin mix. To one batch I added 1 cup blueberries. Baking this mix in small loaf pans makes a perfect little pound cake. Each package makes one loaf. The time and temp from the package was used in this baking process cooking until they passed the toothpick test. Chocolate icing was melted and drizzled over the first cake, forming Chocolate Drizzled Pound Cake. I then sliced the Blueberry Bread for individual snack cake treats. Yum!

Our vine came from a cutting off of my Daddy's vine so I'd really like not to damage it in the process. We enjoyed the largest harvest yet last year and hope to have our vine for years to come.
