"Easy, tasty, and cheap! I'm all for simple, so I go for a one-cup method where I place the coffee, one packet of Splenda and water in the glass first and swirl around to dissolve, then add a generous 'squirt' of chocolate syrup, swirl some more, and add milk." —BROZZY

It really doesn't get any easier than this. Heat milk in a saucepan, whisk to create foam, and combine it with your favorite roasted coffee. Spoon foam over the top, if you're feeling fancy. We won't judge.

Move over mulled cider, hello wassail. It's "steeped" in tradition, and is wonderfully spicy and comforting. Keep it warm all day in the slow cooker, just remove the cloves so it doesn't get bitter.

"I really wanted an oatmeal cookie that you would see out at the mall or Starbucks, so I made the cookie to recipe and spooned it by the heaping tablespoons onto my baking stone. I was a little skeptical because it was a wet consistency and I thought, this cookie won't rise," Ronda says. "However, in nine minutes, I had the most beautiful-looking and best-tasting cookie out of the oven."
