<span style="font-size: large;">I'm not a big chai tea person but I am a coffee lover! In this recipe I have combined the signature spices you find in chai tea with espresso and created a nice little "chai-scented" brew.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Set Up</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I ground my chai spices freshly in a coffee/spice grinder. I spooned the freshly ground spices onto the packed espresso in my moka.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">You can read more about a moka here & here. I got mine in Italy but they are available at Bed, Bath, Beyond and Amazon.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Brew the espresso on your stove top just like you normally would in a moka.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">If you don't have a moka you can use a traditional coffee maker. Add you grounds to the basket or filter and sprinkle the chai spices on top and brew.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I foamed my milk in a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nespresso-3190US-Aeroccino-Automatic-Frother/dp/B000NX352Y/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1349452352&sr=1-1&keywords=nespresso+foamer">Nespresso foamer</a> but you can froth yours on the stove with whisk or a traditional espresso frother.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Non-fat cow's milk creates the best foam but you can get a pretty good "froth" with rice or almond milk.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> I topped mine with a few additional chai spices. You can make this as sweet or as "milky" as you want. You could even add a scoop of canned pumpkin to make it a "Pumpkin Spice Latte."</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Diesel was the big fella we rescued from a Bull Mastiff rescue center when we were first married. Well, I rescued him and I was the one who wanted a dog. My husband, Kyle, drove me to get him and helped me get all set up to have a dog at home. Kyle liked Big D but he was definitely my buddy. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Diesel passed away in the evening on August 16th at our home. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the last photo we took of Diesel. I took it on the day he passed away not knowing it would be our last day with him. He was acting like a puppy and jumped up on the guest bed which he couldn't do in months. So I took time out of my busy day to lay around with Sophie & Big D for an hour or so as we napped and played on the big bed. Sophie thinks its so funny when a dog jumps on the bed. She crawled all over him, hugged him, and tried to pick his nose.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">He had many bad habits when we got him. He couldn't be around other animals without attacking them and trying to kill them. He was a gentle guy to all people and kids but his first response was to kill any animal. He weighed as much as I did so I could never hold him back. Taking him on walks was like walking the neighborhood with a ticking time bomb ready to launch an attack on any bird, rabbit, cat, dog. Thankfully, our kind dog-loving neighbors in Spokane helped us break him of these habits and had him over for play dates with their pups often. This picture below is Diesel lounging with his buddies after a long day of playing. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think our funniest Diesel story in our family is the pecan pie story. A few years ago for Thanksgiving our family from Minnesota, California, and Italy came to visit us in Idaho. Kyle, Diesel, and I stayed up at my parents house that weekend. We all decided to go out after Thanksgiving dinner into town and we all just kind of scrambled out of the house in a rush, jumped in the snowy cars and went to town. None of us thought to lock the dogs up or put any food away. Diesel was the largest of the four dogs and the sneakiest. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When we got home that night, I was the first one to unlock the door and come in the house and something felt wrong (and smelled wrong). I ran into the kitchen before my dad could get in the house. Thankfully he was chatting out in the snow with the rest of the family. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I glanced around the kitchen and noticed there were no dogs around but an empty pie plate, shreds of plastic bags, and a gigantic pile of dog poop. My dad has little tolerance for things like this in his house and I knew it had to have been my dog.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I tried to think fast so I grabbed the pie tin and scooped up the dog poop as fast as I could, grabbed the plastic shreds and tossed it all onto the patio table on the back deck as I rushed off to inspect the rest of the house for further damage and find the dogs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At this time everyone was starting to come in the house and talking about having some of that Costco sized pecan pie they have all been dying to try. I couldn't get to the back door faster than my dad. As he goes out to grab his "pie" and comes back in with a steaming platter of poo. My cousin said, "What is that, Shit Pie?" All of us were rolling on the floor laughing, crying, and trying not to pee our pants as we saw my dads reaction to his pecan pie. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We had many adventures with Diesel. He loved the car and I would take him anywhere I could. Whenever I would go into a store, he would always be in the drivers seat when I came back covering my steering wheel in drool.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Another funny Diesel story...he loved to eat barbecues. We don't have a big one just a small camping sized one. I think he has disassembled and licked every piece at least 15 times. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When we lived in Spokane, we thought leaving it up on an unfinished concrete pedestal in our backyard would be safe. We had planned to use it that night. Who puts their BBQ away in the garage every day in the summer?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our neighbors heard a huge crash while we weren't home so they went over to inspect our backyard. They found Diesel had knocked the BBQ off the 5' pillar and was licking it clean. They just left him. LOL!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">About two months ago I noticed Diesel was not acting himself. He couldn't get anything off the counters and he couldn't even jump in my car anymore. I had to lift his 115 pound butt into my car to take him anywhere. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One night he was really struggling to breath and acting really weird. I couldn't take him to the vet until the morning so I tried to keep him comfortable. We took him to see our friend, Kate, at her vet clinic and they discovered that he was hours from death. Hypothermic, hypoglycemic, and they couldn't hear his heart or lung tones. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We agreed to send him to a radiology specialist who discovered he had pericardial effusion (fluid around his heart). They did further tests and discovered a heart based tumor was causing the pericardial effusion and other unusual reactions in his body.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We decided to let them drain the fluid from his heart and I would bring him home. I've never been more thankful for my Hospice nurse experience. I felt confident that given the right medications I could keep my big fella comfortable at home and help him die naturally or keep him comfortable until it was time to put him down. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The thought of having to make that decision was impossible for me. In hospice, we help earthly lives end naturally so I just couldn't even think about choosing to end his myself. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We brought him home expecting him to live a few days at the most. But the next day he acted like a puppy, ate a ton of food, and played with Sophia. I thought...how could I put him down if he's acting like this and still wagging his tail at me. So I got more meds for him and continued to keep him happy & comfortable. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When Sophia wakes up in the morning, the first thing she looks for is Diesel. "D?" she says. We always would go find Diesel, give him a hug. I would get his breakfast ready first and feed him so she could watch him eat through the screen door. She wouldn't eat her breakfast till he was done with his. Then he would come and lick up all the crumbs from her high chair.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sophia always loved having D as a buddy in the back of the car. He would sit right next to her carseat while we drove along!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I already miss his slobbery drool face so much! I'm thankful I could give him a safe and healthy home for 2 1/2 years. The saddest thing is that Sophia lost her big buddy, Mr. D. She still looks for him around the house if she hears a dog bark or if I say a words that sounds like "D" or "dog." That part is so sad!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I find my self ready to call his name while I'm cooking and drop something on the kitchen floor. Then I realize he's not there. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's weird not walking over his big bed in our laundry room or having him sleep at the foot of our bed. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Diesel passed away last Thursday evening right after I left the house and right before Kyle came home. It's probably a good thing I didn't see him that way. He most likely had a heart complication and died quickly and pain-free. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kyle came home to find him and quickly cleaned him, wrapped him in a quilt, and took him to my parents. I wanted to bury him next to, Shadow, our German Shepherd. I know that property will be in our family for a long time so I wanted him there. My mom saved his collar and took a paw print for me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kyle told me about it a few hours after it happened. I'm so thankful my husband went through all the trouble of giving Diesel a peaceful grave spot in my childhood backyard. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Better late than never! We had Sophia's birthday celebration on her actual birthday, June 7. I had grand plans to have a fun out door party with Attic furniture and decor. But it was a grey, rainy, cold day! So we had it inside. I was great! So many people came to show love to our little girl!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We spent our 4th of July working on the little house. Then we walked downtown Coeur d'Alene for a little white at sunset. We had a pretty good firework show right from our backyard of our rental house. This neighborhood is crazy.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We bought a new place....in Dalton Gardens! We won't be moving in right away. It's a little tiny farm house. It needed lots of updates. Kyle couldn't bear the thought of just updating it superficially so he ripped out all of the old down to the studs, reworked the 800 sq. foot floor plan and is starting fresh. It will be tiny but a nice place to live while we build our new house. My favorite part is the little red barn on the property! My future studio.</span></div>

On Saturday I spent time styling a real engagement shoot with Rebecca Hollis Photography at one of my favorite places to shoot in the northwest! I can't wait to share it with you. And it is so crazy to think that almost one year ago I was at the exact same place helping with <a href="http://keridoolittlephotography.com/blog/2011/05/spokane-wa-airplane-styled-shoot-part-one/">this photo shoot!</a></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">To Make:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and prepare a cupcake pan with 12 liners.</div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Combine flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, and levender buds in a small bowl. Set aside.</div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
In your stand mixer, combine Earth Balance and sugar, whisking thoroughly to combine. </div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;">

<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;">

<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Divide the batter equally among your twelve cupcake liners, and bake, checking after 18 minutes. Cupcakes are done when a toothpick inserted near the center of a cupcake comes back clean.</div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;">

<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;">

<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To Make:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Add Earth Balance to a mixing bowl and whip thoroughly using your hand mixer.</div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Add powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time, stirring on low speed to avoid a mess. Your mixture will be very thick.</div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;">

<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
If you desire a thicker frosting, add some extra powdered sugar, 1 Tbsp. at a time. If you would like to thin your frosting a bit, add some additional almond milk. </div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;">

<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Earth Balance becomes very soft, very quickly. If you're having trouble working with your buttercream, of if you'd like to pipe it onto your cupcakes, place it in the fridge for 15 minutes or so to cool. </div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
If you don't have a pastry bag and would like to pipe the frosting onto your cupcakes, use a large zip-top sandwich bag. Fill the bag with frosting, then clip the bottom corner and use as you would a pastry bag.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sophia turned 9 months old yesterday! What a big girl! I'm loving this age. Even though she's into everything she's so curious. My floors will never be the same again. I just gave up constantly picking up behind her. I'll just let her play in all the stuff all the time. </span></div>

Lot's of fun happening over at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/alisalewiseventdesign">Alisa Lewis Event Design</a>. Website to debut soon and lots of meetings with brides. We toured an amazing wedding venue in our town yesterday...barn, silos, gazebo, twinkle lights, meadows, pond...the whole bit...GORGEOUS! Soon we are headed out to the lake to tour a birch grove one of my lovely brides discovered to host her wedding on the banks of Lake Coeur d'Alene...I am beyond excited to style that wedding! Thank you lovely brides for hiring me!<br />
