Thanks Mom!

For day two of my friend's visit home, her mom suggested we go to the beach.  We got some chow and as a big family went to Zuma.  It was nice but traffic home was bad.  It's expected with this holiday weekend.
Her mom likes to cook and bake and there is always something yummy sitting around, waiting to be devoured.  Today was some amazing leftover homemade spaghetti sauce, freshly made potato salad, and individual pans of snickerdoodle bread.  We were sent home with two loaves.
Nothing seemed more perfect to pair with it than coffee.
I figured to enjoy the bread even more, I'd keep the coffee simple.  One Trader Joe's instant coffee with a couple of scoops of butter pecan powder and espresso powder.  Together, they were out of this world.  A slightly crunchy, cinnamony crust, soft, warm cake, and little bits inside that I think are cinnamon chips.  The warmth and flavor of the coffee was an ideal compliment.  That will be good for breakfast tomorrow too.
