The Christmas Drink You Must Make Now!

I had a wonderful Christmas today. We traveled earlier in the week and came home the 23rd. Our Christmas Eve service was at 3 PM, leaving plenty of time to come home and make some homemade chicken noodle soup and light our last candle on our advent wreath.

This morning we watched delighted children open presents and Face Timed with family. I made a slow cooked brisket and my sons and I played with Lego in the afternoon making new creations from our now very large Lego collection 

After putting the 3 munchkins to bed, my husband and I treated ourselves to our favorite hot drink right now: Kahlua Hot Chocolate.

My Go To Recipe...Chili Mac

I try to cook from scratch as much as I can. It's cheaper, healthier and just tastes better! This isn't from scratch per say, but its yummier than any hamburger helper and almost as easy. This is adapted from Cook's Illustrated, but I am not sure they would recognize it anymore.
