Easy Vanilla Latte

Morning!!!

Starbucks is like LIFE but lets be honest not everyone can afford to get $5 coffee every single day. That is just ridiculous, but like a lot of us out there that's what I found myself doing for a long time. My wallet starting hurting and I just had to figure out a cheaper alternative. So after lots of trial and error and way too much cups of coffee I finally have found a recipe I am happy and satisfied with. So here it is.

Here is my Nespresso Inissia. This is what I use to make my espresso shots.

(Review coming soon)

Ingredients

Frothed Milk

Nespresso Ristreto espresso capsule

Torani Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup

Assembly

1. Brew your espresso

2. Add vanilla syrup to taste (less is more)

3.Pour your frothed milk into mug

This recipe is so easy I contemplated about even doing a blog post about it but it was just too good. Evertime my family comes over they always suggest this, usually iced because its so hot here. I hope you get to try this recipe yourself. If you don't have an espresso machine just brew some really strong coffee. That's what I did until I bought my Nespresso. Thanks so much for reading. If you try this recipe please tag me on instagram @kidscoffeemakeup. Happy sipping!

Glazed Salmon Recipe

Hungry?! 

My glazed salmon recipe right here. Super fast and super easy. Anyone can do this one. This recipe is inspired by CookwithApril/Aprilathena. I made my own touches on the dish and did a little improvising. 

Ingredients:

Dijon Mustard, White Wine, Butter, Olive Oil

Garlic, Onions

Sea Salt, Brown Sugar, Dill Weed, Black Pepper, Lemon Herb Seasoning

Sauce:

• To start the sauce first you will want to add your olive oil and butter to a sauce pan.
• After that is melted add the chopped onions and garlic. 
• Saute till onions are translucent.
• Deglaze pan with your white wine. Just use whatever you like to drink. 
• Add the mustard, brown sugar, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
• Simmer on low for a couple minutes till flavors marry.(few minutes or so)

Prep:

Season your salmon with the same salt and lemon herd seasoning. Now your going to want to put that sauce on your sliced salmon. I cut my salmon to about 1inch - 1.5inch slices. While your doing that preheat your over to Broil.

If you got yourself some kiddies this is a good time to have them help (only if you are comfortable). My kids were begging to help me do something so i had them simply put some of the sauce on remaining pieces of fish. If you do decide to get the kiddies involved make sure to supervise them very carefully, especially because the sauce is probably still hot. Lets just take a second to appreciate how cute these two look. One the top is my daughter Jaiyana and bottom my son Kilsten.

Bake:

Now your oven should be ready. Stick in those puppies to broil for 6-10 minutes. Depends on how cooked you want your fish. Just keep checking on them till you get your desired tenderness.

Time to eat!!

Omg. Now how good does this look!! I served mine with a bed of white rice. Yes i live in Hawaii and white rice in a Must Have at every house. But you could use potatoes, couscous, or whatever you would like. Make it your own. I hope you all get the try this recipe and enjoy it. Thank you so much for stopping by and reading. Happy eating!

My Quick Breakfast

Good Morning!

To be honest it isn't morning at all here. Currently 2:00 in the afternoon. Oh well. But i wanted so share a quick and easy breakfast idea. Little to no prep and thinking. Who has time to think about breakfast when your literally still dreaming? Not me.

First: protein

Eggs. Eggs are an easy way to get protein without much work. I love having eggs with my breakfast. And I heard that eating eggs for breakfast keeps you feeling fuller throughout the day. huh, who knew.

Second: veggies

After I have chosen some kind of protein I like to gather any veggies I can find in my fridge. Usually tomatoes. I ALWAYS have grape tomatoes on hand, they are my favorite to add to any dish. And if I'm lucky some greens. I also like to add garlic for flavor. I love garlic on EVERYTHING. It's not for everyone, but before you skip the garlic, interesting fact garlic is extremely good for your health and immune system. Also helps to lower the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure. NICE.

Third: prep

 Today I have some asparagus, local grape tomatoes, 2 cloves of garlic, mushrooms, and eggs of course.

Last: Lets Eat!

And here's my finished meal. I found some lil smokies in the fridge so i fried those up on the side. Uh so good! Thats what i love about this, you can just use what ever you have on hand or if you have something that needs to be used up. Got for it! Fast and easy delicious breakfast. Glass of water and of course a side of online shopping maybe:) I hope you guys found this post helpful when you're in a rift for some brekky. Thanks for reading, have a awesomely delicious day!
