My Coffee Solution for Pregnancy

Morning coffee. A former staple in my life that I swore I could never function without. Funny how easily things in your routine start to change when you introduce a wee fetus into your life. Giving up the morning caffeine has not been all that bad. That doesn't mean I don't still envy the smell of coffee though and recently have been wanting a little taste for myself.

We have a regular, full pot coffee maker in my house and I don't want to force anyone else into decaf, so I broke down and got myself a canister of instant coffee. It was kind of gross. I guess everyone has their own taste but this by no means was my preference. But don't worry, I found the magical solution. I started mixing a teaspoon of the instant coffee with a teaspoon of hot cocoa mix and hit the jackpot. Not the whole pouch, just a teaspoon will do. It ends up with this mocha like taste much like a rocky road coffee from Dunkin, and you know how I feel about those! If I'm feeling adventurous I'll throw in a flavored creamer like hazelnut or vanilla caramel. Pour it into your favorite coffee mug and voila! Perfect pick me up to get the day started right!
