In another sign that consumers keep spending money, undeterred by inflation, Starbucks reported record sales for its fourth fiscal quarter that ended October 2. The world’s largest coffee chain that operates more than 35,000 stores around the world posted $8.4 billion in revenue, up 11 percent from the same quarter last year. That brings the company’s total sales for fiscal 2022 to $32.3 billion, up more than 20 percent from its pre-Covid high of $26.5 billion.

Global comparable store sales, a metric used by retail chains to measure performance without the impact of newly opened locations, increased 7 percent in the past quarter, driven by strong results in North America.
Internationally, results were dragged down by lockdowns in China, which led to a 16-percent drop in comparable store sales in Starbucks’ second-largest market, while the company recorded double-digit sales growth in the rest of the world.
Looking at the full year, comparable store sales growth was not only driven by an increase in average ticket/order value (i.e. rising prices) but also by a small increase in the number of comparable store transactions despite the negative impact of Covid restrictions on store traffic in China.
That means, even amidst a global cost of living crisis, which ought to make people think twice about discretionary spending, coffee apparently remains non-negotiable for many consumers.
There’s always money for Pumpkin Spice Latte, it seems.

This delicious pumpkin spice yogurt recipe makes a perfect, autumn-inspired snack!
I haven’t had dairy in a really long time, but my little guy is another story. He loves flavored yogurts at the moment (this could change on a whim), but I hate the ingredients found in most store-bought flavored yogurts.
So I started making it at home. Over the summer, he preferred a mixed berry flavor. But now that he is seeing pumpkin pie in the stores, he is much more interested in pumpkin pie flavors.

This latte with coconut milk is the perfect, dairy free start to your morning!
I have to admit, lattes are a weakness. Decaf or fully leaded, I just love the flavor. I even have this one cup, pictured above, that I drink them out of. In fact, it’s just not a latte if I don’t drink it from that cup. It’s this whole little ritual I have. Maybe I should be concerned by this odd behavior, but I’d rather just enjoy my latte.
Since I gave up dairy (and boy has that been a bumpy ride!), I have relied more and more on the use of light coconut milk in cooking. So I figured why not try it in my coffee, too?

So if you know anything about me, you know that I love a good muffin. And I’m here to tell you that the apple does not fall far from the tree. My son loves them just as much. Maybe more! But lately, I’ve noticed that if I give him a whole muffin, he’ll eat the entire thing and want more. So to remedy that, I started baking mini muffins on a more regular basis.

I love this time of year, not just because of the turning leaves and Halloween, but also because of the autumn-inspired foods that pop up everywhere! And I always like to bring autumn produce into my kitchen.

They are a permanent fixture for most of those two seasons because I enjoy cooking with them so much. Squashes inspire autumn dishes like no other, and this clean eating ground turkey pumpkin skillet recipe is a perfect example.

Growing up as a child, my grandmother’s kitchen was always a safe haven. It was a place of comfort, laughter and too many wonderful memories to count.
One thing I remember most about mornings in Oma’s kitchen was the smell of brewing coffee. I remember our mornings together sitting at her tiny breakfast table in the breakfast nook of her kitchen. The aroma of coffee wafting up into my nose as we waited for coffee to brew and our toast to pop up so we could spread brie cheese on it.
