    Other Coffee Usages:

    Second, coffee can temporarily get rid of puffy eyelids. The caffeine works to pull the water out of your skin. Place two tablespoons of coffee grounds, fresh or previously brewed, into a coffee filter and dampen under warm water. Twist the coffee filter closed and place over closed eyelid. Repeat steps on other eyelid. 

    Third, coffee can be used as a cellulite scrub on thighs and buttocks. The caffeine temporarily shrinks the cellulite, giving your skin a smoother appearance. Take a cup of coffee grounds, fresh or previously brewed, into the shower. Scoop a handful of grounds and in a circular motion rub onto the area you wish to make smoother and repeat until all desired areas are covered. Rinse after complete. 

    Fourth, coffee can be used to intensify dark hues of brunette by pouring strong brewed and cooled coffee over shampoo cleaned hair. Put shower cap over hair and let soak for several minutes. Then rinse coffee out and condition as normal. 

    Coffee Storage Tip:

    Do you keep your coffee in the refrigerator or freezer, thinking it will stay fresher longer? If so, you might want to rethink where you store your coffee. Each time you take it out of the cool temperature, you are exposing it to fluctuating temperatures, producing condensation. The condensation sucks out the flavor, so store your coffee in the cupboard and in an airtight container to prevent condensation.

    - 1 lb. shredded bbq pork with sauce
    - 12" thin pizza crust
    - 1 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese
    - 1/2 cup sliced red onion
    - 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
    -1/2 tablespoon olive oil

    Directions:

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Brush a thin coat of olive oil on pizza crust. 

    Spread a thin layer of shredded BBQ pork over the crust. 


    Top with cheese,


     red onion


     and cilantro. 



    Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until cheese begins to turn gold. Note: Gouda cheese does not melt like typical cheeses used for pizza and using a pizza stone helps make the crust extra crispy. If you don't have a pizza stone, simply place pizza directly on oven rack to achieve crispness.
