13 Things I Love To Get At Starbucks


When my husband heard this week’s topic, his reaction was, “I didn’t even know they had 13 things on the menu,” and then “I don’t even WANT to know how much money you spend at Starbucks.” I didn’t tell him how hard it was to narrow it down to 13.

What? I enjoy my Starbucks. And so do the kids. Sue me!

And just for the record, this isn’t a PPP, but I’m holding out hopes that someone will send me free coffee! Happy Caffeinated TT to all!

1. Triple shot nonfat white chocolate mocha – This is what I get most days. On the hot days, I get it iced.

2. Raspberry Frappucino – New and yummy!

3. Orange Crème Frappucino – Eli loves these! They taste like an orange creamsicle.

4. Madeleine cookies – Georgia’s favorite Starbucks treat – yummy little butter cookies.

5. Blueberry white iced tea – I love ANYTHING blueberry! I only wish they had blueberry syrup to put in their coffee. But this tea is amazing, sweetened or unsweetened.

6. Green tea chai latte – I tend to drink this one when I have a cold. It’s as close as I get to a health drink.

7. Toffee almond bar – Dude! Toffee, chocolate chips. Yum-o!

9. Egg Nog Latte – Nothing says Merry Christmas like an egg nog latte. I just wished they had these all year round.

10. Espresso brownie – When I need that added little jolt.

11. Chocolate milk – Georgia’s favorite, and let me tell you – their chocolate milk kicks ass!

12. Passion fruit tea – This is Eric’s favorite. He tends to go for the teas over the coffees, and he swears by this one!

13. Pumpkin Spice Latte – Oh sweet Lord, this is why I love Fall!

Neat list. I do not like coffee but I have something with eggnog and something with pumpkin and cinnamon there. Yummy!

I love iced coffee so much. And chai latte, hot or iced.

My TT isn't up yet, but I am about to tag you for a meme, come see! (But not right NOW as it's not quite up either.)

I might be running behind today.

My husband loves coffee.

I on the other hand can't stand it.
Before I knew I was pregnant with each of my children. My husband and I would go to the mall and if we passed a coffee shopping and my stomach started feeling uneasy......I knew I was pregnant.
I still get a icky feeling when we pass a coffee shop but not as bad as I did when I was pregnant.

My husband knew instanly if I was pregnant or not and all 5 times he was right....within a week we usually found out I was pregnant.

Great TT!

I love #4. Some years ago, I bought a special tin-lined pan to make madeleins (sp?), and they were easy to do via Joy of Cooking recipe (or was it A to Z of cooking?). Problem was: after a year or two, the pan started oxidizing. Go figure.

Oooooh, Starbucks! Now, I'm not a coffee drinker. I don't drink a single drop of coffee unless someone puts a gun on my head and force me too. But I go to Starbucks because I'm addicted to their Hazelnut Chocolate Cake! Oooh la la, I'm not sure if you have it over that side of the planet, but it's heavenly! Dammit, now I need to go to Starbucks tomorrow. =(

J. Lynne said...

Oooooooh, eggnog latte and pumpkin spice latte... I may have to renegotiate my caffeine restrictions with my doctor when Fall comes. *sigh*

Happy TT!

I only get one drink - grande mocha no whip. I'll get any kind of pastry that looks interesting.

The Starbucks down the street had ginormous cinnamon rolls the other day - these things were at least 4 inches in diameter.

I still prefer Tully's coffee, but we are surrounded by Starbucks.
