Breakfast time on every other weekend means a big Sunday breakfast at Grandma’s house. When I was young I remember breakfasts with my grandparents, and my grandpa would always pour me a cup of coffee and I added tons of sugar. Back then it was a cultural experience, my grandparents from Mexico didn’t see a problem with kids drinking coffee. We still share meals with family, but you’ll only see the adults drinking coffee in our house.
Breakfast time on every other weekend means a big Sunday breakfast at Grandma’s house. When I was young I remember breakfasts with my grandparents, and my grandpa would always pour me a cup of coffee and I added tons of sugar. Back then it was a cultural experience, my grandparents from Mexico didn’t see a problem with kids drinking coffee. We still share meals with family, but you’ll only see the adults drinking coffee in our house.A few weeks ago we got together with my brother and his girlfriend, his boys, and the five of us plus Gram and Gramps and made a day of family, food, and fun! I purchased all the goodies for a large meal with eggs, meats, fruit, juices, and to start it all off, COFFEE. I don’t know about you but all the adults require the coffee goodness in the morning to start the day, and I got there early enough get give everyone their first cup!
I shop exclusively at Safeway grocery store, it has the best deals, plus my Just for U app and savings card give me almost 30% off my bill each trip! This time I stocked up and headed over to my moms. First up was the coffee. I bought House Blend Gevalia, something I love, plus House Blend Decaffeinated that my parents enjoy. That morning my brother decided to mix it up a bit and make a half-caff which can still give you all the flavor but half the caffeine. 
Gevalia is available in K-cups, but my local store didn’t have them in for my post. I purchased the ground and used my handy dandy K-cup filter insert for my Keurig and all was fine in the world again! To make the decaf, just toss part regular, part decaf in the filter, and it’s good to go!
With all the food, fruit, and sweets we had, we needed little sugar for the coffee, and stuck with milk instead of flavored creamers. We had some really sweet cinnamon cookies to enjoy with my coffee so I strayed away from the sugar that morning. Robust, yet smooth, I think we each made about 2-3 cups each with breakfast!
The joke in the picture above is that my son, who’s 12 and growing like a weed, was on his second meal thus being in both pictures! Can’t get that kid to stop eating!
I’m such a coffee lover I really enjoy it before bed with dessert but need to remember to buy decaf for my house more often. I don’t want the extra energy before bed, and I really enjoyed the House Blend decaf, it’s on my shopping list for next time for sure! The day carried on with swimming, more food, dinner, dessert and more Gevalia and some poker. We all slept well that night, here’s to another family breakfast with Gevalia House Blend thanks Gevalia and Safeway!

I have recently tried Gevalia coffee and liked it. It’s one of my favorite coffee brands now
