Holiday Recap 2014

Hope everyone had a bright and Merry Christmas and happy holidays all around.


We enjoyed a nice day with family at the farm. I cooked dinner the night before to take over, since there isn’t a working full size oven at the farm and the kitchen is super tiny.

Turkey with veggie and stuffing casserole concoction of my own creation, home made cranberry sauce, and home made candied yams.





Journey and the cats helped, supervising and cheering me on as I managed to avoid any serious bodily harm in my adventure.

Mint Condition Holiday Latte

A new twist on my Holiday Latte! This one themed after the Mint Condition.



Here is what you’ll need:


At least a 10oz or 12oz mug

1 Pack cocoa mix; Land O’Lakes Cocoa Mint is my choice for this
* Stephen’s Candycane Cocoa (Walmart), or SwissMiss Cocoa also work well.

Your choice of gourmet coffee

Reddi-wip or other canned whipped cream

2 Diced up Andes mints, and 1 whole mint






Brew your coffee as normal. Pour some coffee into the mug to coat the bottom.

Stir in cocoa powder mix. Add more coffee and creamer as desired. Be sure to leave some room at the top! It should look something like this:






Top the whole thing off with whipped cream and sprinkle on the diced up Andes mints. Stick the whole mint into the whipped cream pillow and prop against side of mug.






Enjoy!
