Passion, Obsession, Addiction
Published Wednesday, October 12, 2005 by Karen (Cupcake) Carter | E-mail this post
I admit it!! I am a Starbucks junkie. No kidding around here.... this is serious! I am madly in love with Starbucks and Caramel Macchiatos are my current favorite. Too bad they are loaded with calories and fat. I am trying to get my weight and health in order before the holidays, so I decided that I was going to have to cut back dramatically on my espresso drinks unless I started ordering non-fat versions. To my surprise, a non-fat Caramel Macchiato tastes EXACTLY like the regular one. I am not a big fan of low-fat and fat-free foods so this is fantastic news to me! I would not be able to tell them apart in a side by side taste test. It's true! JOY JOY JOY!!! I don't have to give up my precious espresso drinks after all. The non-fat venti caramel macchiato has 280 calories and only 1 gram of fat (compare to the whole milk version at 380 calories and 15 grams of fat). That's a huge difference.Now, if they would just make a low-fat Chantico life would be perfect! Oooh, Chantico!

I love my coffee frap so much that I won't even let my daughter tell me how many calories it has in it. She is as addicted to Starbucks as I am (if not more) and she knows the fat grams and calories of almost every single drink there. I tell her to keep that info to herself... don't want to spoil my one favorite weakness.
Oh Princess Karen...I sympathize with you. I am hopeless and completely addicted to Starbucks. I should just work at one part time, that way I'll get free drinks. I love your coffee layout...that little book looks like so much fun!
For some reason, I abhor coffee. I'm so glad, too; I would be drinking those 800 calorie creations and blowing all my scrapping money at Starbucks!
