Things I Love Thursday

I love all the pepperminty goodness that comes along with the Christmas season.

I just bought a box “for the kids” of peppermint Jojo’s from Trader Joes. They are basically Oreo’s with peppermint filling. So good. Since they’re from Trader Joes they don’t have all the trans fat in them.

I love peppermint ice cream.

The other coffee drink I tolerate is a white chocolate peppermint mocha. Coffee drinkers would hardly call that coffee. Ricardo has to write down my order when he makes a Starbucks run. He’s just a plain black coffee drinker. The more robust the better!

I also love those peppermint nougat Christmas trees. I filled some of the advent calendar with them. I don’t think the kids love them as much as I do.

Things I Love Thursday-Cherry Limeade

Yes, another alcoholic drink. What can I say, I have 3 kids and no social life.

If you mix black cherry vodka with limeade and a splash of seltzer it tastes like cherry limeade.

Things I Love Thursday-Fronut

Fronut?

Its the most delicious ice cream ever from Fritz’s Frozen Custard in Valley Park.

It starts with vanilla frozen custard. Then its topped off with pretzels, chocolate shell, and then drizzled with caramel.

It got the name “Fronut,” because it tastes just like an Entenmann’s chocolate glazed donut.

We make these at home, but use french vanilla ice cream instead of custard. Its not as good, but still delicious.

I won’t be having one of these for a while, because we’re going to Michigan in a few weeks to visit friends who have all been working out religiously. I’ll have 6 when we get back.

Things I Love Thursday-1800 Ultimate Margarita Mix

My friend Deanna turned us on to this. It is seriously the best margarita mix ever. I think its so good because there is a hint of orange in it, so you’re tricked into thinking your drinking a golden margarita. Just add tequila and serve. Its awesome.
