My Black Friday Morning Delight – #DeliciousPairings

November 21, 2012 By Shannah 2 Comments

I’m a coffee lover.  If you follow me on Facebook, you know that I don’t just drink any coffee.  I am an avid Starbucks drinker {Avid as in I am “friends” with my morning barista and she knows my order by the sound of my voice on the drive thru speaker}. 

On Black Friday, our Starbucks won’t be open until pretty late after we start our shopping.  So, we decided to brew some Starbucks at home and take it with us. Since I usually stop at the Starbucks Cafe each day, I didn’t have any at the house so I headed out to the store.

I picked up the Breakfast Blend because it was a medium strength coffee which I knew I would enjoy.

I wanted an easy to carry treat to go with my coffee so I headed to the bakery to check out the selections.  
Like a beacon, I saw a familiar face

The store had a display offering suggestions for #delicious pairings for the Starbucks coffee I was buying.

I took the suggestions and went searching for muffins to pair with my coffee. The mini blueberry muffins looked like the perfect size.

Once home, I decided to give the coffee a try before the “big” shopping day.  I made 4 cups of coffee using the 1 scoop of ground beans per cup rule.

The smell of the coffee as it brewed was delicious. I couldn’t wait for it to finish so I could try it.

Once my coffee was done, I poured it in my mug and tasted it.  

The coffee had such a smooth taste and it was just the right strength for me.  Since I don’t normally make my coffee at home, I wasn’t sure what to expect.  It was perfect though…almost as if my favorite barista had made it for me!

Of course, as I was sitting there sipping my coffee, the muffins started calling my name {well, not literally because that would be creepy}.  So, I opened them and dug in.

I was pretty excited with how my coffee had turned out and, then, I added the blueberry muffin to the mix.  DELICIOUS.  The blueberry flavor played off the little acidity that the coffee gave off.  It was like a party in my mouth.

So, even though this was supposed to be primarily for Black Friday, I finished the enter cup of coffee and devoured 2 miniature muffins.

On the plus side, I knew the ideal serving size for my shopping trip and had found #DeliciousPairings to boot.

Are you going Black Friday shopping?  If so, I definitely recommend this coffee and muffin combo.  It will be the perfect treat to help you along while standing in line waiting for your deals.
