Design Your Own Dessert at Breve Crepes and Coffee

May 26, 2016 2:31 pm

Handheld crepes are the draw at Breve Crepes and Coffee, a quaint cafe in downtown Albuquerque. Rolled into a cone shape, the crepes are customized with the diner's choice of spreads, fruits, and toppings; think honey, Nutella, bananas, strawberries, whipped cream, walnuts—even ice cream! Don't have much of a sweet tooth? Breve also serves savory bagels, which can be topped with cream cheese or butter.

Coffee is on the menu here, too, and makes use of beans sourced from Santa Fe. You can get almost anything from a fresh brew to a cappuccino, a flat white to the house Cafe Breve. Milk substitutes and sugar free options are available upon request!

When Life Gives You Lemons, Use Them to Clean! Here’s How!

May 19, 2016 2:30 pm

Did you know that lemons work as a natural disinfectant, a stain remover, a polish for metals, and so much more? Try these simple cleaning tips using the power of citrus!

  • Scrub your dirty dishes or plastic containers with a recently juiced lemon and a little bit of coarse salt to remove any stains or smells. This also works for wooden cutting boards.
  • Rub some lemon juice on a sponge and leave it in your refrigerator for several hours to remove any odors.
  • Give your microwave a good cleaning by mixing three tablespoons of lemon juice and one and a half cups of water into a microwave-safe bowl. Place the bowl into your microwave and put it on high for five to ten minutes. Then just wipe away any remaining spots with a dishrag.
  • Make your own eco-friendly household cleaner with citrus peels and white vinegar. Simply place citrus peels in a glass mason jar, then pour enough vinegar over top to cover the peels. Let the mixture infuse for two weeks, then strain out the vinegar into a spray bottle!
