Coffee in my Jelly, Jelly in my Coffee!

I'll let you in on a secret...Something exciting is happening in TWO DAYS!

Here's a clue: it's silky smooth and sweet and you'll surely get addicted to it.

Beginning July 2, Starbucks Coffee will be launching a line of cold drinks highlighting the new and velvety smooth Dark Roast Coffee Jelly.

Take a sip and you'll feel as if you're in coffee heaven as you enjoy the rich, creamy coffee blend together with the soft and velvety jelly gently gliding down your throat.

This new line-up includes the Dark Roast Coffee Jelly Frappuccino, the Iced Vanilla Dark Roast Coffee Jelly Caffe Latte and my personal favorite, the Caramel Dark Roast Coffee Jelly Frappuccino.

Coffee Pairings

Of course, your coffee experience would not be complete without enjoying any of these delectable sweet and savory treats! Everything was so good that I actually forgot to take some photos. Thanks to the Starbucks Coffee team for supplying us with beautiful shots of their new items.

Have a sweet tooth? Indulge to your heart's content in the Very Berry Cheesecake. It's home-baked style cheesecake topped with cranberries, blueberries and raspberries. It's a feel good dessert which is perfect while camping away from the rain.

Meanwhile, my dear fiance who's an ultimate chocoholic, loved the Chocolate Marshmallow Cake which have layers of melt-in-your-mouth devil's chocolate cake and chocolate chip fudge filling covered in caramelized marshmallow icing. The icing is so light that it takes away the guilt after eating an entire slice.

For savory goodness, I personally liked the Farmhouse Cheese Quiche, which my former colleague Celine claims to be semi-Vegetarian. Every bite is truly delightful as I enjoyed the smooth, velvety texture of the egg mixed with fresh vegetables and lots of cheese.

Another favorite was the Spanish Sausage and Egg Wrap. Craving for something spicy and meaty? You'll definitely enjoy this one as it consists of tender pork sausage, onions, tomatoes and seasoned with Spanish spices. I'm looking forward to having this for one of my lunch at the office.

Other upcoming food items are the Chicken Parmesan on Turkish Pide Bread and the Zucchini Carrot and Honey Raisin Loaf.

Truly, the Green Siren continues to amaze us with its delicious and mouthwatering selections. Two more days to go!!!

This promotion will run from July 2 - September 14, 2009.


Starbucks Coffee has a total of 156 branches nationwide.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic

Misto at Seda Vertis North

Happy Friday!  I'm not going to lie, Friday is one of my favorite days because it means, we're just a day away from the weekend! Who doesn't love the weekend, right? This is the day when I give my twins my uninterrupted attention. We would start the day with any breakfast of their choice (normally waffles for J, pancakes or peanut butter sandwich for L) followed by an hour of doing their homework and in the afternoon, we head out for their swim class! Sunday is more laid back as we would stay home and just laze around the house otherwise, we would go and visit my in laws and spend the day there.  Speaking of the weekend, I suddenly remembered one of the best weekends that we've had this year so far. This was when we had our staycation at Seda Vertis North  and the twins truly enjoyed every minute of it. Of course, they love our comfy and very spacious Corner Suite with an adjacent Deluxe Room as well as checking out the hotel's amenities and the Vertis North mall
