It's probably my biggest food weakness (next to Sour Cream and Onion Lays), so this week has been hard. <br /><br />Slowly, slowly, maybe I'll be a creamer convert ;-) . <br /><br />You all are too cute.

Looking at th...Ha ha, that last one made me laugh! Looking at the copycat recipes makes me rethink my creamer addiction! Cream or sweetened condensed milk as an alternative? I never knew it was as bad as all that!<br /><br />I LOVE CoffeeMate. But 2 years ago when I realized it had the trans fat stuff, I forced the switch to International Delight, a brand I consistently turned my nose up for years because it was "too thin." I miss CoffeeMate for awhile... it really was hard. But then I got used to it and now I enjoy my cup of coffee just as much. Maybe start off with one of the small "gourmet" flavors to help the transition if you go this route?<br /><br />Good luck!Catie Hbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687196647416353706.post-87576463190986036492010-12-08T21:03:17.718-06:002010-12-08T21:03:17.718-06:00just make the conversion, already! I was a creamer...just make the conversion, already! I was a creamer addict at one point, but can only drink it black now. The creamer takes away from tasting the bean as it truly ought to be; in it's natural form with no fake liquids. I'll never go back...<br /><br />husbandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687196647416353706.post-84541339136232871472010-12-08T20:21:29.429-06:002010-12-08T20:21:29.429-06:00And I forgot to say, I FEEL YOUR PAIN!And I forgot to say, I FEEL YOUR PAIN!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687196647416353706.post-66869804336128979472010-12-08T20:20:44.049-06:002010-12-08T20:20:44.049-06:00I went cold turkey off of creamer last summer as I...I went cold turkey off of creamer last summer as I realized how much money we were spending on it and the fat calories I was packing in every day. I literally couldn't drink coffee without it! How I do wish you wouldn't have gotten me started on it in the first place, dear heart, and how I wish even more that you wouldn't have left that quart of Coffee Mate in the fridge to tempt me each morning!

So I looked up a recipe for Coffeemate French Vanilla. This one got high reviews. Maybe you could try it and let me know how it is:)<br /><br />3/4 c. cream<br />3/4 c. powdered sugar<br /><br />Heat and stir constantly, but do not boil, until all the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and add 1/2 teas. of real vanilla. Store in airtight container...<br /><br />You must be having such a tough time. I know how much you love your coffee and I do always get a "kick" out of your 1/2 gallon coffee mate...I promise I will just have it in big supply when you come next time. (You may have to remind me though)<br /><br />Love you, Mom S. xoxoTheresa S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687196647416353706.post-44256544822102951892010-12-08T13:34:12.862-06:002010-12-08T13:34:12.862-06:00I understand.

I won't even set our grind-n-brew the night before because it just doesn't taste the same as when you scoop the beans from a sealed container and brew them right away. Silly, I know. As for creamer?...well, I prefer it and used to be picky. But as I write this comment, I sip on a cup of coffee with sugar and milk. It isn't bad and I don't mind really. You see, our grocery budget is just about gone for the week and so is my creamer. I promised John I'd stay within budget and thus I can't justify running to the store for creamer when we might need milk, eggs, or cheese between now and Sunday. I promised. *sigh*<br /><br />I get the coffee thing. Hang in there. I hear the next step from where you are at is black coffee. ;-)Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10803020020708829856noreply@blogger.com
