Delicious Events In And Around Vancouver<\/h2>\n

Happy New Year to all! January 6th seems like the real start to the new year here as it’s the first day my husband Michael is back to work and I’m home working all on my own. It’s now time to get serious about 2020 plans, as I want to make this a good really good year, as 2019 was a bit of an off one. I’m just about to head out the door to head to Cadence Cycle Studio<\/a>, but I’m having some issues with my knee so I can’t jump into the fitness routine I’d like to right away, which is maddening, but I’ll do what I can until it feels better. I plan on cooking more at home, exploring new restaurants, and focusing on my health first and foremost in 2020. You’ll see these weekly columns more consistently and we’ll be bringing you a better guide to living an all around better life in 2020 as we continue our journey to live the Good Life (in) Vancouver and often far beyond! Onward and upward to the #bestyear2020! Here’s are good things to do this week.<\/p>\n

Sample Starbuck New Dairy Free Beverages<\/h3>\n

If Starbucks is your thing and you’ve resolved to eat less animal products this year, they’ve introduced two NEW non-dairy beverages made with plant-based milk alternatives, the Almondmilk Honey Flat White<\/b> and the Coconutmilk Latte.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"almond<\/a><\/p>\n

The Almondmilk Honey Flat White combines ristretto shots of Starbucks Blonde Espresso with steamed almond milk and a hint of honey, creating a delightful twist on a beloved espresso classic. The Coconutmilk Latte combines shots of Starbucks Blonde Espresso with steamed Coconut milk. A strike of Cascara sugar topping adds subtle notes of dark brown sugar and luscious maple after every sip.<\/p>\n
