Christmas Vacation Inspired Eggnog
What is up everyone? I’m super excited to share today’s recipe with you because today’s recipe is inspired by one of my very favorite Christmas movies, Christmas vacation.

Southwestern Pumpkin Soup (recipe follows) – I decided to make Southwestern Pumpkin Soup for two very simple reasons. One, because I love, love, love pumpkin. Like a lot. Including pumpkin soup. I wait the whole year for Fall to roll around so I can get some pumpkin. One year I even thought I’d be smart and buy a bunch of pumpkin while it was around and then I could have it all year. Guess what, it didn’t work. All that happened is that I thought “Yay, I have a huge supply of pumpkin and now I can eat all I want”. Then I did. Then I ran out...
