Guess what? It is the start of a brand new year AND a new year of our..
And on a wonderful spin off from last year’s incredibly popular post (over 500 hits in ONE DAY) on DIY coffee Syrups, our super popular post on DIY powdered coffee creamers, and with a whole new spin for those coffee addicts we know and love,  I decided to run with the theme and show you how to take those plain old boring coffee grounds and turn them into gourmet worthy coffee grounds that will literally cost you PENNIES compared to the fancy ones!
***********************************
It doesnt take much to take a 3-4 TBS of standard coffee ground and turn them into gourmet worthy grounds that you will use to make a pot of lovely delicious coffee! I have pulled together a couple ideas for you to get started on…
Each recipe will make ONE pot of coffee.
Imagine giving these in adorable cellophane bags for a gift for someone you really love during the dark winter months of the year! Just think how easy this would be to duplicate out for stocking stuffers, or tucked into a card for a sweet valentine for a friend! 😀
I know you will love these ideas, and if you have some you want to add, please feel free to add them in the comments! I have thoroughly enjoyed doing the taste testing for each of these the last couple weeks, and striving to find popular flavors that people pay a TON of money for in the stores. 😀 Many thanks to my lovely friends who jumped on board for the testing phase and gave me great feedback before we ever posted.
Blessed to have so many awesome dear friends. 😀 Especially ones that love coffee 😉
May your weekend be lovely, and your coffee cup hot.
Blessings to you and yours,

I am trying to order your Master Mix book but I keep getting this message, “The merchant login ID or password is invalid or the account is inactive.” I have tried several different cards, so I am not able to buy the PDF form. Is there something I’m missing? Thank you for your help, I am really excited to get this book and print it out for myself!
Good Morning Cori, and thank you for asking!
Actually if you want to use a CC to purchase a book, you will need to checkout as a guest using the paypal option. We are working on changing that so we don’t have to jump through that hoop, because the extra cost for running a CC checkout besides that is very prohibitive.
If you need more instruction or someone to walk you through it you can contact me at heather@thewelcominghouseblog.com.
Blessings and thank you
