Voila!

Well, it hasn't taken me all this time to come up with my rendition of the Vanilla Iced Coffee I had at McDonald's the other day, but it has taken me this long to getting around to posting about it.  It's been a busy, busy week (aren't they all any more?) here in my home.  A quick run down:

• Monday-took care of a little fella
• Tuesday-School
• Wednesday-Writing all day; magazine articles + sent out Nuggets of Wisdom Newsletter
• Thursday-School
• Friday-tons of laundry

So as you can see, yes, it's been busy here!  However, I did get my *clone* perfected and am absolutely enjoying it every day.  Well, what is it?  It's really quite simple:

• I use International Delights Fat-Free French Vanilla Coffee Cream--put more of it in a tall glass than one would normally use in their coffee
• Pour in your coffee until the glass is 1/2 full; stir to make sure it's light enough
• Fill with ice

Now, I've also chosen to make this by a larger quantity, just by mixing it in a pitcher and then pouring it over a glass filled with ice.  This works good if you're serving a few people, or if you intend to really drink a LOT of Iced Coffee (Wednesday and Friday were those kinds of days here!). 

Anyhow, I hope you like it!  It was fun coming up with different ways.  Now, there are many, many flavors of coffee creams on the market, and you may like a different flavor.  I'm sure I'll be experimenting more and more, especially when the *Fall Flavors* of coffee creams come out soon!

Hugs to ya,
