My fiancé and I LOVE to cook. It’s one of our favorite ways to spend time together, helping us connect creatively and indulge in the fruits of our labor. Because of this shared passion and our obsession with watching the Food Network, we decided that on our first anniversary we were going to throw our very own “Chopped” competition…

Last month I gave in and jumped on board the whipped coffee train and WOW, so good! I took a basic recipe offline and made it my own. By simply substituting and adding a couple ingredients I created my new morning tropical bliss. Every time I sip on this sweet & coconut-y perfection, my taste buds are immediately transported to the islands. Craving a little vacation? Try it out!
