Today is the first day of December and while it isn't traditionally the Twelve Days of Christmas which runs from December 25 - January 6th, I'm delivering to you the Twelve Days of Christmas recipes.
When I think about Christmas the first thing that comes to mind is the food I grew up with and the traditions of food that I know. It was never glamorous or gourmet, but those foods that always make me think of home and the people that made them.
I'm sharing with you the ones that make my heart happy and make me feel the warmth of Christmas. For the next twelve days, check in and see the memories unfold. I hope you like them.

Beat together the eggs, sugar and vanilla throughly. Once beaten add in the milk and ice cream and combine. Refrigerate, drink and enjoy.
