Better Late Than Never.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Why yes, I am serious.

And yes, I do know it is December 1st.

You should probably just plan on my Christmas post hitting the blog around Valentines day.

Here are a couple pictures of our simple Thanksgiving decor.

We had some of our awesome friends over after the BIG get together  to play games and drink eggnog. We make our own eggnog and it is way better than the store.

Do you want the recipe?

Good, because it is at the bottom of this post.

I hope you all had wonderful holiday.

If it was anything like mine it lasted Thursday-Sunday and I am using today to recover.

And by recover I do mean write a blog post, drink coffee and eat leftover pumpkin pie instead of doing my dishes and laundry and every other productive thing I should be doing.

Eggnog

Ingredients 

1 C. Cream
1 C. Whole Milk
4 TBS. Maple Syrup ( it has to be real) or Honey
2 TBS. Vanilla (also needs to be real, not that imitation junk)
2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Fresh Ground Nutmeg
1/2 tsp. Ground Cloves
1/2 tsp. Allspice
4 Egg Yolks ( these eggs MUST be fresh and high quality since they are left raw. We get our eggs from a farm just a few minutes from our house)

Put everything in a blender until completely combined.

Serve warm or chilled and try not to drink the entire blender full by yourself. At least share it with one person.... If you have to.

That's it. Super simple, really delicious and perfect for this time of year. Not to mention how much better for you it is than any of the cartons of it you can find in the store!

Hope you all have a wonderful Monday!
