Today's post is going to be super quick b/c I've got to go to work today and then go to my SIL's for girls night while our husbands are out of town! Squee!
My computer is still dead at the moment, so y'all are just going to have to deal with iphone photos too.
Have y'all ever found yourself sometimes craving a specific drink yet not having the required ingredients needed to make it? I run into this problem all the time, and it always seems to be Kahlua that I don't have. I also always forget to buy it too!
Lucky for me (and you) I have found a way around that problem!
I have made a batch of my own coffee liqueur that is lighter in sugars than a regular bottle of the stuff. Plus I made a ton of it and saved myself some money!
Note: I didn't get a chance to figure out all of the nutrition information or the exact amount this recipe yeilds. I promise I'll do it over the weekend and update the post ASAP. Thanks!
Getting to know you...
What's your favorite Kahlua cocktail?

It isn't polite to show a pregnant lady delicious pictures of alcohol. 😉
