As I sit here freezing watching the lovely snow fall I thought about making a pot of coffee. But I wondered if anyone had anything different to suggest. I may make a mocha instead.

Coffee is my total comfort drink......and survival drink actually.

My boys and I have to go snow blow the driveway so I am going to make a pot to thaw out with when I come back in

We're up to 6 inches of snow so far....anyone want any Christmas snow early?

I love coffee, but only good coffe, it is probably one of the few things where I am really picky.

Other than that... I drink tea now, but I got used to it here in Germany, in Spain tea is what you drink when you have a temperature and lay sick in bed

I love hot chocolate, thick hot chocolate... but I hardly drink it (too much fat).

That would be nice. The other day, there was a few inches of snow on the ground, but it got warmer, and the rain has since washed it away. Hopefully we will have some more snow in time for Christmas!

Has anyone tried French Vanilla Hot Chocolate from Swiss Miss? This is such a warm, cozy, comforting drink to have on a cold night. If you like marshmallows, they just add to yummy deliciousness of the drink!

I haven't tried it yet but sounds good

At Starbucks I always get a skinny vanilla bean steamer. Like candy!

Coffee tho is my drink of choice... I am all about flavoured coffee. Sometimes I make a half coffee half hot cocoa. I even like Nescafe (instant coffee). I am trying to wean myself off caffiene a little (let's not go crazy) and so I have taken to drinking cranberry tea in the evenings. Love it!

Coffee junkie here. I drink it all day everyday. My favorite is Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Unfortunately, I don't get those everyday. Geez, I don't get them once a week! I hate living in the boonies, lol.

Did anyone ever put cayenne pepper in your hot chocolate? I know it does not sound good, but it is soooo yummy!

Does the cayenne pepper give it a bite, or does it just add an interesting flavor?

love love love coffee! I just found out that target sells dunkin doughnuts coffee, which makes me so happy!

A couple of weeks ago I went to our sort of gormet grocery store and bought pumpkin spice coffee and then one called christmas eve (sort of butter scotchy/vanilla-ish with some cinnamon it is awesome!)

I try to limit myself to 2-3 cups in the morning.....
