Easy Eggnog Icecream

Baby, it's cold outside! Very cold, I mean, it is 19 degrees outside right now. BRRR. And even in this cold I still crave homemade icecream. I made this the other night and it felt very Holiday-ish. Eggnog icecream, perfect for this time of year. It was super easy to make, no cooking involved because eggnog is essentially a custardy drink- which makes this icecream all the more creamy and delectable. OH and by the way it is super healthy- NOT- is anything healthy during the holidays??

Eggnog Icecream Recipe


1/2 C sugar
1/2 C milk
2 C eggnog
1 3/4 C heavy cream
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla

Combine sugar, milk, eggnog, cinnamon, vanilla in a bowl. Using a hand mixer on medium speed whisk ingredients for 2 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Stir in heavy cream. Pour into icecream maker and follow machine instructions. Freeze after removing from icecream machine and enjoy ALL week long!

Snow-Tober

It's October.

And I woke up to a winter wonderland this morning...

Mia wanted to immediately put her boots and coat on and go play in the snow. Daddy took her outside for little bit. She didn't last very long before she wanted to come back inside...but she loved stomping in the snow and picking it up in her hands. (I did put gloves on her!)

Brrrr. It is so cold outside. Today definitely calls for some warm homemade soup and bread. I'll definitely be making my dad's yummy recipe of Butternut Squash soup for dinner tonight. What I look forward to all year long. MMMMMMM

And I made a batch of these super moist  pumpkin chocolate chip cookies yesterday.

 I love this time of year.
