I am finally getting around to posting the fabulous punch that my mom made for my Cousin's shower a couple weeks ago. I called her tonight looking for the recipe and she said, "Oh why don't you just look it up?" I was thinking because this is your special recipe where would I look it up from?

As it turns out, her special recipe is actually from the Food Network. It is called Citrus Tropical Punch. The only change she made was that she left out the liquor. It got rave reviews from all the guests and I am planning to make it again this weekend for another shower.

If you are looking for a good party drink give this a try.

It has been so cold these past few days I thought I would share an amazing hot chocolate recipe I found on all recipes.com. It will not disappoint! I have made it twice in the last week after discovering it.

Fluffy Hot Chocolate

8 Teaspoons Sugar
4 Teaspoons Cocoa Powder
4 Cups 2% Milk
1 1/2 Cups Mini Marshmallows
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
Whipped Cream (optional but oh so good)

Combine the first four ingredients in a medium size saucepan. Heat over medium heat until marshmallows melt, about 8 minutes. Once marshmallows are melted remove from heat and add vanilla.


Pour into holiday mugs of choice and top with whipped cream!



Merry Christmas!!
