Coffee Creamer Recipe with Homemade Whipped Cream

This "creamer" is actually whipped cream that tastes so good you'll forget all about the other stuff. And it is natural, without the corn syrup solids and hydrogenated oils.

Just put a dollop of this magical stuff on the top of your steaming hot coffee and watch it slowly dissolve. If your fast enough you might be able to catch a little on your lips!

Whipped Cream Recipe:

2 Tbs heavy whipping cream

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp vanilla

Combine all ingredients and whip on high until soft peaks form. 

Dollop into your coffee. 

Recycled Arts

So I'm always raving so much about recycled treasures, and I just have to share with you some original pieces I came across this weekend.

Recycled Arts Recipe

2 cups passion
1 cup creativity
4 Tbs resourcefulness

pinch of sensibility
beauty for garnish

Combine passion and creativity, mix thoroughly. Gently fold in resourcefulness until mixture becomes light and fluffy. Add a pinch of sensibility. Spoon into serving dish, garnish with beauty.

This recipe comes to mind when I see such ordinary, everyday things brought to life by an artistic, resourceful mind. I would love to share with you such originality:

This crazy cool little butterfly was once a grapesoda can. Now, it's holding up someone's kid's report card up on a fridge somewhere. And... It's beautiful. Imagine that.

Seriously? A little funky, a little urban, a splash of color and you have an upcycled masterpiece in no time. Or maybe a lot of time. I don't know, but I couldn't resist.

Time and time again. Ok, last pun... promise. But how adorable is this? A pop of golden color with some organza ribbon and cord resuscitates this vintage watch movement. Who knew something so forgotten could be so attention grabbing?

Rubber is one of those things that, unless it is natural rubber, isn't biodegradable. And a wallet is something most every man uses. Why not combine the concept? Kudos to palepink for such an innovative and practical approach.

So this is a double shot of goodness! And I'm not talkin' espresso. Not only is it recycled felted wool, but it is also stitched with organic cotton. And it's green to boot! Honestly, need I say more?
