Caramel Macchiato Recipe

Hey everyone it's debs here. I have been having so much fun doing DIY's. Today I wanted to show you my recipe for a Caramel Macchiato. This is a really tasty drink that is from Starbucks. I love this recipe because it's low on sugar/calories and has coffee which is my favorite. The thing that I love about this is that when you have all the ingredients you could make this a lot more often, and it's way cheaper that going to Starbucks all the time and it saves time so ever time your craving it and don't want to drive, then you can just make it yourself at home and make it healthier.

You will need:
1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon of vanilla syrup
1 cup of milk (cold) 
1 cup of ice 
2 shots of espresso (80 ml)
Caramel (as much as you want you could put in the cup after you make the drink) 

Procedure: 
Add all of the liquids like milk, vanilla syrup, and coffee. Mix all of it up and add the ice. Add as much caramel as you need in the drink to complete it and make it spectacular. I use sugar free caramel to use less sugar and it works just fine and tastes the same as sugary caramel. 

The thing I love about this recipe is that you have the control to put what you want in it and how much you want in it. If you want to be extra healthy you could substitute the milk for a healthier alternative.

That's it for today everyone! I hope you enjoy this drink as much as I do! :)

Physical Therapy Journey

Hi everybody. It's me again with another random blog. Today I will be talking about my physical therapy sessions that I have to go to twice a week for 6 weeks. I have had my injury for about 5 months now and I have done series of injections, MRI's, X-rays, and the most craziest tests you could ever think of. I have gone through a lot of severe pain and I'm still handling it. After all the tests, nothing bad showed thank goodness and I'm healthy but I still have horrible pain that doesn't go away. I have gone to 6 different doctors and they have all said the same thing which is physical therapy and rest. The doctor that I'm going to now suggests 6 weeks of physical therapy twice a week then to go and see him and see what happens. Hopefully, I get better by then so I could get back on my feet after a long time. Physical therapy is very very very painful but hopefully good outcomes come around with all the pain. To all those people out there who is injured and is reading this, I feel you and I hope you get better soon. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed my blog!

Food Decorating

Hey everyone it's debs again with another food blog. Today I wanted to talk about how to eat normal foods the fun way. 

Like a cupcake. A cupcake could get messy and boring just eating it like a plain cupcake. Instead make it into a sandwich. Get the frosting and put it in the middle of the bread part. It's more fun to eat and yummier. ;)

Instead of eating ice cream in a bowl, eat it in squares. Just get your carton and cut squares with your knife. It's a lot more fun to eat it that way. 

Make fruit fun by cutting images in it. You could get a special fruit cutter or you could just use a cookie cutter. Again, it just makes eating fruit more fun. 

You could make sandwiches more fun for little kids. You cut them out into shapes. They will have fun while eating. A win, win for the both of you because you now know that they will eat their food and that they will enjoy it without complaining.

Make a fun and healthy cake. Instead of having a fake sugar have real sugar. Get a watermelon and cover it with cool whip. It tastes awesome and looks awesome. This will definitely steal the show in a party and saves money because you can decorate food by yourself for a party instead of buying from the store like Edible Arrangements. This is all about being healthy.

That's it for my blog today.

Life Hacks For Food

Hey everyone it's me debs here with another blog. Today I will be typing more life hacks. Today this is food edition, cause everyone likes food, right? Who doesn't like food.

The first life hack is about eggs. If you don't know if your eggs are hard boiled or not. All you do is spin them, raw eggs don't spin easy, but boiled eggs do. 

You don't want to eat raw eggs right? So all you do is put them to the test. Fresh eggs don't float, but boiled eggs do.

Everyone loves pancakes, but what's better than designed pancakes? You could use cookie cutters to make some really cool pancakes. They will definitely steal the show. This is a good idea if you want to make a special breakfast for someone even more special and cute/creative. :) 

For my last food hack I'm going to be talking about salads. Salads are good but how do you take it with you without it getting soggy. A jar of course!! Put your dressing at the bottom and put whatever you need. Put your lettuce/base on the top. When it's lunch time shake it up and there you go, a salad that's perfect and fresh like you just made it. 
That's it for today, I hope you enjoyed my blog!
