I shared with you a few weeks ago about how New England Coffee is celebrating their 100th anniversary with all the extraordinary people who enjoy their coffee with a #YouAreExtraordinary campaign.

They redesigned their website and introduced the brand new New England Coffee Centennial Reserve blend in celebration.

To celebrate with New England Coffee head over here to the New England Coffee Shop and check out the extraordinary people who have already shared a photo to the You Are Extraordinary gallery on the New England Coffee website.

New England Coffee Fall Flavors

Fall is here and you know what that means?

That means Pumpkin Spice Coffee!

To celebrate the cool Fall weather of New England Coffee has two special fall flavor coffee blends. Pumpkin Spice and Caramel Apple.

I love Pumpkin Spice coffee so much!

It should be available all year long but since it’s not I stock my freezer with bags of New England Pumpkin Spice Coffee so I can enjoy it after it is no longer available.

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

This Pumpkin Spice Cupcake recipe requires a little planning.

Before you can make the Pumpkin Spice Coffee Butter Cream Frosting you will need to make the Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate.

Cold brew Pumpkin Spice coffee concentrate is very easy to make but you will need to make it at least 24 hours before you plan to make the Pumpkin Spice Frosting.

The long cold brew time is what makes this pumpkin spice coffee concentrate strong enough to flavor the Pumpkin Spice Coffee Butter Cream Frosting and then you’ll be able to enjoy a delicious Pumpkin Spice Iced Coffee with the leftover pumpkin spice coffee concentrate.

    My mom was my inspiration. Kept going even when she was told that the cancer would likely kill her before 5 years was up.

    I think I would have to say my mom AND my husband. Both of these people have influenced me tremendously to the survival instinct that we humans have. My mom fought a short battle with small cell carcinoma(lung cancer that moved into the bone) but while doing so she taught me to have courage,strength,love and hope to be able to spend our last days together before she passed away in 2011. M So you can see where these 2 folks have tied in my heart with their will y husband also had Cancer..his was Bladder Cancer and even though he lost his bladder in the process of fighting the cancer he still had a smile on his face and now has a clean bill from the doctor..Cancer GONE! So you can see where these 2 folks have tied in my heart for their will to survive and their faith to push forward!

    My husband by far. He is such an amazing hardworking loving man. He works late and then rushes home for things like scouts. Goes above and beyond taking care of his family
