My grandmother Margaret loved to entertain. This was one of her favorite beverages for cold, blustery, rainy days. We've served it through the years, usually during the holidays, and it's always a huge hit. If desired, serve flecked with nutmeg.

Sweet and Savory Pineapple Pork Loin
This is a quick, easy, and healthy way to prepare pork loin with no added fat. The pork turns out very moist and the sauce is very flavorful. Serve with your favorite vegetable side dish or salad for a complete meal. Serve over rice with a generous helping of the sauce. Yum!
Gluten-Free Pie Crust
I have tried a lot of gluten-free pie crust recipes to find one that compared with the traditional wheat crust that I have been missing. After throwing away many batches, I finally came up with this one and my family loves it. They said they couldn't tell the difference (I am not sure I believe that) but it sure did satisfy my cravings. Hope you like it too.
Cinnamon-Raisin French Toast Muffins
These tasty cinnamon-raisin French toast muffins are a great way to serve French toast, leaving plenty of room on the plate for some fresh fruit and maybe a slice of bacon on the side. They are tender and moist on the inside, just like French toast, but with a little crunch on the top from the streusel. The cinnamon-raisin bread amps up the flavor, but you can use challah, brioche, or a baguette, if you prefer. Refrigerate any leftovers in a sealed container.
