One Saturday morning I
woke up with a craving for a chocolate filled croissant from Whole Foods. Oh so good, and with amazing coffee they serve there from a local non-profit company
called Building New Hope, it’s a
simple, delicious treat. It's especially nice to savor the flavors of
black coffee and dark chocolate together, mmm, a perfect pairing. Taking small bites of the croissant, I bide my time, while letting the coffee cool
enough to enjoy the flavors together. I would really like to take big giant
bites, but thank goodness for the hot coffee teaching me patience and the art of anticipation.
Anyway, it was a beautiful, lazy, summer, Saturday morning. The air so mild you could easily slip
outside, still in your pajamas, to sip your coffee or tea and quietly revel in the newness
of the day. There wasn’t a bit of me
that wanted to hop in the car and drive 35 minutes to Whole Foods….So, I decided to make
do with the ingredients I had on hand……..this is what I came up with…..
Enjoy!
