It may be a bit odd that I really don't like coffee.  I grew up with the smell of it every morning.  I was a Minnesota farmgirl, and we always had coffe breaks.  It was best to have coffee breaks at Grandma's, becuase she would also have "a little lunch" like a brownie or some sort of a bar to snack on with the coffee.  As a youngster I passed on the coffee, but delighted in the treats.  Now as an adult living in Wyoming, I am just finding out about a Swedish tradition called Fika.   

Fika means coffee break.  To just have a delightful warm beverage and socialize with people you want to talk to is just good for the soul.  So I have decided to create my  own version of fika.  I am learning how to make coffe, again, providing snacks of all sorts and inviting you to come.  This is a great time for me to catch up with you, for you to ask me any questions.  Its a good time to get recipes and food ideas from me.  Gain new ideas for your coffee. Bring a friend and enjoy.  I am not a coffee shop so you will have to excuse my trial and error, but I do hope to have some good recipes as well as feature some good snack places in town.

Always remember that you cannot pour from an empty cup, so follow me on Facebook to find out when the next Fika will be and what wonderful snacks will be available.  You are important, and taking care of your body, mind and spirit is a necessity.
