    Authentic Irish Coffee

    When I go out on date night with my husband, we love to order coffee with our dessert.  Upgrade that to an Irish coffee and WOW!  I have been messing around with measurements and ingredients and then finally asked my favorite high-end restaurant how they make it.  I will never go back!  This is such a treat for a cold evening after putting the kids to bed and curling up with a good book. I like mine made with decaf so that I can still easily fall asleep, but you can make it with regular coffee which would be perfect for serving at a Christmas Brunch.  Note, pairs well with chocolate chip cookies!

    The ingredients and measurements are simple and keep the thickened cream in the fridge, (it will stay good for a week!) and you can always indulge in this perfect night time before bed drink. 

    The real magic of this drink is the thickened cream.  I make it plain year round, but at Christmastime, I add cinnamon and it is like Christmas in a cup.  Phenomenal.  And you KNOW I won’t steer you wrong on the perfect warm drinks.  I have Hot Buttered Rum and Rummy Hot Chocolate that you can enjoy as well.

    Now, let’s get started!

    The gang’s all here!  We have instant decaf coffee, granulated white sugar, brown sugar, Jameson Irish Whiskey, and thickened cinnamon cream.  I am going to walk you through making enough for one, but make some for everyone around your table.  It’s easy and so comforting.

    Authentic Irish Coffee

    Start with one level tsp of instant coffee.  Put that in a 10-12 oz mug.

    Add one level tsp of granulated white sugar.

    Add one tsp of light brown sugar.

    Add 6-8oz of boiling water and stir in 2TBP of Irish Whiskey.  Stir well.

    Here is the good stuff!  Put 1-2 cups of heavy whipping cream into a stand mixer and mix on high until just thick, no peaks will form.  Add 1 tsp cinnamon and whip one minute more at high.

    Pour 1-2Tbps of the thick cream over your drink and let it settle in on top.  Sip that glorious goodness and make jokes about the whip cream on your lips.  It is so so good!

    Today I wanted to chat a little bit about how I sh Today I wanted to chat a little bit about how I share my faith with others. It can be hard to figure out where to start, but by sharing your faith with even one person you've already made a difference.

Share your faith with those around you authentically. It's important to show that your life isn't perfect. Talk about the good and the bad and what God has done for you in those times!  Talking about God and His faithfulness each day helps create a natural flow.  Talk about God often through the day in casual settings and just in conversation. 

Pray for those you interact with. Pray for God to place someone in your life who needs Him.

Of course, my greatest way of sharing my faith is with you all. I love that we've created a community here full of joyfulness and rejoicing in God’s perfect ways. I've been able to write about my own experiences (good and bad/hard) on the blog and here on Instagram, in a way where I'm able to encourage and really connect with new friends.

If you ever need any advice I'm always here! Tag someone in the comments you want to pray for today. Or simply leave us your 🙏 to spread a little joy 💕

    This travel schooling adventure has been nothing s This travel schooling adventure has been nothing short of amazing. We have finished out 2 weeks on the road and we have driven over 2,000 miles! We zigzagged across Utah and went through the center of Arizona.

My very favorite scenery so far has been Arches National Park. My goodness…..it is stunning! We went twice to Goblin Valley to play on all of the big red rocks.  

We still have about 5 more days before we get home and plenty more to explore.

We are creating memories that will bond us for life and I am so so thankful for this special time together.

What’s one of your top favorite places you’ve ever visited? Comment below 💕
