My free McDonald's Mocha from Mocha Monday!!!


In America, you can buy bucket-sized
cups of coffee in any flavour you like,
other than coffee-flavour.
~Author Unknown - but apparently British from the spelling. What do those tea drinkers know about coffee, anyway?! ;)

McDonald's Hot Mocha

It's Mocha Monday at Mickey D's!!

I ran to our McDonald's here in Pontotoc this morning and got a Hot Mocha. I am a pretty loyal Starbucks fan and hadn't tried McDonald's gourmet coffees - until today. I have to say it was pretty good! Better, or as good as - Starbucks? Well, I'm mixed! I think I like McDonald's whipped topping and chocolate syrup better than Starbucks!! It was creamy and sweet! Really tasty!! But, I'll have to say that Starbucks still has me on the coffee part! However, Mickey D's wasn't bad at all!! Considering that the closest Starbucks is 20 miles, verses the closest McDonald's being a mile or so - I'll probably be giving McDonald's some of my mocha business!! Leigh had told me a few months back that lots of folks in her office had started stopping by McDonald's for their morning coffee and were really raving about it. So, I had tried McDonald's regular coffee a couple of times, and it really is good!! McDonald's is cheaper than Starbuck, although, the truth is, I rarely pay for my Starbucks treats. My sweet family keeps me in a good supply of Starbucks gift cards! Love those!!! Keep 'em coming, Guys!!!

By the way, I didn't order anything in addition to the free Hot Mocha. I wanted to make sure there was no pressure to make an additional purchase before giving my review here. I am pleased to report that there was not even the suggestion that I add a Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit to my order!! It was totally free, and they even thanked me for coming out in the rain for Mocha Monday!

Here's a recap of the Mocha Monday details:

McDonald’s restaurants across the United States are offering consumers the choice of two McCafe freebies, on Mondays from July 13th - Aug 3, 2009. You can choose between a 7 oz. Iced Mocha or an 8 oz. Hot Mocha.

The McDonald's Corporation is anticipating giving away over 10 million mocha beverages during this month long campaign.

The special, dubbed McDonald’s Mocha Mondays, runs each Monday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at participating McDonald’s restaurants. Check your local McDonald’s to see if they are participating.

I checked with the Pontotoc, New Albany and Tupelo locations. ALL have confirmed they are participating in the mocha giveaways!!

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Georgia Cornbread Cake

I clipped this recipe several years ago from American Profile, which is a small magazine insert that come with our local newspaper, The Pontotoc Progress. It is yummy, yummy, yummy!  I love the story that accompanied the recipe and was delighted when a Google searched turned up the same article on the web! Larry took this to work, and he said it was a huge hit with everyone! Enjoy! Georgia Cornbread Cake Georgia Cornbread Cake   Recipe of Stella T.

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
