I am taking a survey yesterday as I was pouring myself coffee as I reached for my flavored creme I thought to myself, “wow these things can be addictive.
I just love Bailey’s and I think I’ve probably tried everyone Irish Creme, Creme Burlee and Hazelnut. I like to think that I am a connoisseur of flavored creme coffees. My husband tells me that it’s not the coffee I like it’s the flavors of the cremes that I am addictive to. And so I got to thinking “what if he is right?” I had to know, so I went on a thirty-day fast no coffee. Turns out I wasn’t addicted to coffee I was addictive to the cremer. I had to break that crazy cycle, so now I don’t drink coffee like I use to and sometimes I go months without coffee at all.
It’s that what temptation does to you and I, it gives us that addictive aroma that tells us it’s okay to partake of it, it gives us that shallow satisfaction of enjoyment. It’s not until we put down that temptation that we can stare it right in the eye and say we are no longer tempted by you any longer.
Tell me what flavors do yo add to your coffee or perhaps your tea…
I like dark rich coffee and occasionally brew my coffee with cinnamon sticks.
Thanks for commenting, I have never used the cinnamon sticks in my coffee but have in my hot chocolate. Thanks for stopping in.
If you like rich flavors, you should try brewing yourself a cup of vanilla spice chai. You can get it in regular tea bags. I like mine with lots of milk and caramel flavoring!
I will have to try that one. Thanks for letting me know about that
I love flavored coffees and flavored creamers, but I realized a while back that I might be becoming a little addicted (😂), as well as, I really took into account how much sugar I was adding to my daily intake with sugar and flavored creamers in my coffee. (I have a MAJOR sweet tooth!!) So, I cut out the sugar, and now, I only use So Delicious’ Coconut Milk Creamer in French Vanilla. It’s still not black coffee or a completely sugar free creamer, but I feel a lot better with the “non GMO” label and lessened sugar intake. So… go ahead, and serve me up a brownie with that cup of java! 😂
Ps. Love your connecting this to our desires for temptations and how to resist them! 😉
It certainly is…and it always seems like it’s those little things..
Truth!
I love French Vanilla!
I also love flavored coffee creamer Nestle brand French vanilla, vanilla caramel, and hazelnut. I also put it in my tea sometimes too
I’ve done that one time it wasn’t to bad..
Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee….just black.
My husband drinks that brand..
It’s good!
