The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Fair Trade Island Coconut Coffee
Let me start with a disclaimer, if you’ve read my profile then you know that I’m crazy for anything coconut, so I was either going to love this coffee or hate it. Green Mountain’s Fair Trade Island Coconut Coffee is a spring seasonal flavor that claims it will send you to paradise with it’s sweet, [...]
The K-Cup Challenge - Diedrich French Roast
As was the case with my first two reviews of Diedrich K-Cups (for Keurig Brewers), my sample of Diedrich French Roast was provided by Qwowi’s sponsor from the West Coast, 1 Great Cup.
As I was kicking of the K-Cup Challenge, lining up sponsors, and generally getting things started, the Diedrich brand wasn’t even on my [...]
The K-Cup Challenge: Timothy’s Mocha Java
My sample of Timothy’s Mocha Java comes from frequent K-Cup Challenge sponsor, Shoffee.com. I had actually requested a sample of Mocha Java as part of my first selection of samples from Shoffee, but alas (and woe is me for that matter), the apparently popular blend from Canadian brewer, Timothy’s was back ordered, so I had to wait. [...]
A Donut to Dunk… coffee and GF donuts anyone?
Coffee and donuts have been a longstanding tradition in my family. It was a beloved ritual for my grandfather to wake us up early on Saturday mornings to drive to the donut shop to be sure to get a fresh, hot donut and some milk. Oh, those were the days. Of course, Gramps could do [...]
The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Hazelnut Dark Roast Extra Bold
My sample of Green Mountain Hazelnut Dark Roast Extra Bold (wow that’s a long one) was one of many samples provided by Green Mountain Coffee Roasters shortly after I began work on the K-Cup Challenge. Green Mountain has been among the biggest supports of the K-Cup Challenge, and I truly appreciate their help, not to [...]
10 Tips for Surviving Your First Year on the Golf Course
Your first round of golf, in fact, even your first season on the links can be a little daunting. Many new golfers feel anxious not only about their own inexperience with the game, but also their unfamiliarity with rules, on-course etiquette, and interactions with other golfers. Even booking your first tee time can be a [...]
Enjoy Life… again with these cookies
There’s nothing like milk and cookies as a late night snack (or anytime for that matter). This, of course, becomes a conundrum when living a gluten-free (GF) life. I grew up downing Oreos like it was nobody’s business – and forget about the Double Stufs … man, those were the good ole days. In my [...]
The K-Cup Challege: Tully’s Kona Blend
My sample of Tully’s Kona Blend was provided by Qwowi’s friends at Keurig. While it was kind of them to send some samples to thank me for enthusiasm for their magical brewing machines, and of course the magical beans that one puts in them, the truth is I should probably be thanking them. I quite [...]

OGIO Nexos Finally Makes an Appearance
The OGIO Nexos is one flippin sweet stand bag.
The long awaited OGIO Nexos stand bag has finally made its way on to the OGIO web site. While I don’t have what I would call up to the minute information, when last I heard from my contact at OGIO, the Nexos was on schedule to begin [...]
