My friend Lauren from Lauren Kelly Nutrition, was in the hospital recently for a pretty severe illness and still in recovery. Although she lives in another state, I was anxious to help in some way.
Our mutual friend Carolyn from All Day I Dream About Food organized a guest post schedule and I’m happy to be helping in some way.

I don’t have any coffee extract nor espresso powder. I have instant coffee, would that work?
It would work.
Thank you so much for sharing with me Brenda! I love this recipe and can’t wait to make this when I am better! XO
