Don't Let These Foods Bring You Down

Food and Depression

 

  Just as they say, you are what you eat then we feel what we eat.  According to this article,  your feeling of joy or even depression can be affected (or could be an effect) of what you eat. I, for myself, find delight in chocolates and coffee. But, I also love caffeinated soda drinks – too much for my own benefit. I am a migraine warrior and through the years, I have learned what foods or drinks to stay away from. I never drink (alcoholic drinks) so it’s not a problem for me. But what I find interesting is that when I consume oranges as “freshly-squeezed juice” it’s all fine but when I eat it as fresh, peeled and eaten directly, I immediately sense a migraine episode coming in.

 Whenever I feel like my energy is plummeting and I am really in need of some energy booster, my first choice had always been a can of caffeinated soda drink. Yes, it does give me the caffeine boost especially if it’s too hot to drink coffee but a few hours after, I am back to my old “dragging due to lack of energy” self. I am slowly cutting back on the soda though, ever since my gastric juices started pressuring me for a little more self control.

  We definitely are what we eat. If you want to be healthy, then avoid junk food. I personally find it difficult to take out all of the junk food in my diet all at once but slowly cutting back on it would be an easier route. Are you in a similar situation as mine? It’s really hard to eat “100% healthy food” sometimes. So, when I found this article about food and depression, I just felt the need to share it with you.  Now, I definitely have more reasons to “bake” with butter ^^)

Café Bombon Recipe

Posted in Breakfast, Coffee by

espresso

Coffee is a part of the Spanish everyday life. They have great coffee here and it’s great because I am also a great coffee lover. (Did you notice the times I’ve used the word great here? ^^) My love affair with coffee started 15 years ago. My parents would alwayshave coffee with their breakfast and snacks. When my sister Laarnie and I were in high school and in the university, drinking coffee became a part of our daily routine since we were working students. We needed coffee to survive the day. We’re both coffee lovers!

I mostly love my coffee alone (espresso) but I am also a great lover of caffè macchiato or café manchado (espresso with just a touch of milk). But when I am in a playful moood *wink  I always prepare Café Bombon using this totally MEAN recipe. This recipe is not for the faint-hearted and not even for those who aren’t best friends with calories. Have I told you calories is my mmiddle name? ^^)
I love my coffee and I take it seriously so I start with great coffee. Delicious and heavenly colombian coffee. 


Prepare your espresso. I love Colombian coffee for this! 


A clear glass is best for this coffee as the layers are best appreciated. So get that shot glass, yes! that vodka glass! (I didn’t have any shot glass on hand. I was sure we had one or two but I couldn’t find it : (

 Pour a generous amount of sweetened condensed milk…

With the help of a spoon, pour that yummy goodness of espresso into the glass. 


Got to love that crema! I love my colombian coffee! With its heady aroma, rich flavor and body without the acidity, it’s an experience!


If you want to bring your Café Bombon into a different level, add  a teaspoon or two of Bailey’s Irish cream. Top that with some whipped cream or frothed milk if you don’t want the extra fat ^^) You can then sprinkle cocoa powder or shaved chocolate on top of the whipped cream or frothed milk!

Sinful, I know! But believe me. It’s worth it!

I hope you liked this recipe. Enjoy!
