Merry Christmas!

Christmas truly is the most wonderful time of the year. Nothing beats the glow of lights and decorations, listening to Christmas music, watching 24 hours of "A Christmas Story," decorating the tree, or smelling the foods and goodies of the holidays. Therefore, this is a blog dedicated to the best season of the year.

Blogs will include stories, pictures, history, traditions, gift ideas, holiday information, decorating tips, and to begin with, a recipe.

Eggnog Latte

Easy Eggnog Latte

This recipe was invented last November. Thanks to my love for coffee. Especially during the chilly fall and winter months. I figured, it would be worth finding a way to create one of my favorite coffee drinks at home would save some time and money. Here is what I came up with (variations can be made).


Ingredients:

• 1 fresh pot of regular coffee, 6-8 cups
• 1 large coffee cup
• About 1/2 cup eggnog for every cup of coffee (3-4 cups)
• 2 packets of sweet & low or sugar
• nutmeg and cinnamon for sprinkling

Directions:

1. Pour 1/2 cup of eggnog into the coffee mug. Heat on high or on the beverage setting for 2 minutes.
2. Stir in sugar or sweetener and fill the rest of the cup with coffee.
3. Sprinkle nutmeg and cinnamon on top.

This eggnog coffee is delicious with Southern Comfort or Pet brands, and can be turned into a pumpkin eggnog coffee. For parties, serve this with a stick of cinnamon in the cup or with whipped cream on top.

Hope everyone will enjoy this blog, and more posts are sure to follow.
