November/December 2025

FRIENDSGIVING is a Domingo Family Tradition




As the last slices of pumpkin pie disappear and the Thanksgiving dishes finally make their way back into the cupboards, there’s a gentle shift in the air—one filled with twinkling lights, cozy sweaters, and the promise of celebration. The season of gratitude has officially paved the way for the season of magic. Before we know it, we’re swapping fall leaves for festive garlands and leaning into the joy, reflection, and sparkle that December brings. Let’s unwrap this next chapter together and step into the holidays with full hearts, fresh intentions, and a little extra cheer. We were fortunate to have our whole family together this year for Thanksgiving - the first time in 10 years! We got to celebrate with our closest friends as well. Cheers to the holiday season of giving, gratitude, and grace! 




Holiday Recipe:


✨ Peppermint Hot Cocoa Protein Mousse

Light, fluffy, chocolatey, and perfectly festive—this high-protein mousse tastes like a holiday treat but takes just minutes to make.




Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt

  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder

  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 2–3 tbsp sugar-free sweetener (monk fruit or stevia)

  • 1/4 tsp peppermint extract (a little goes a long way!)

  • 2–4 tbsp almond milk (to adjust thickness)

  • Optional toppings: crushed sugar-free peppermint candies, fat-free whipped cream, mini chocolate chips, cacao nibs

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, protein powder, sweetener, and peppermint extract.

  2. Add almond milk 1 tbsp at a time until you reach a mousse-like texture—smooth and fluffy.

  3. Divide into 4 small ramekins or jars.

  4. Chill for 30–60 minutes for the best texture.

  5. Top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of crushed peppermint to make it festive!

Friendsgiving 2025 


The 9th annual Friendsgiving at Casa de Domingo! Golfing and enjoying company with some of our closest friends and family is a tradition we cherish every year.  It happens the Friday after Thanksgiving.   I have Adam Janatsch, Kelly Stovall, Greg Adnams, Patrick Maue, Gabe Chavez, Mike DeArmy and David Straight with  their families come to our home after the round of golf.  Saturday morning Jenifer puts on a breakfast spread that is delicious and plentiful.     I have known the majority of the fellas since grade school.  This tradition keeps me grounded and very thankful from where I came from.  Now grandkids are present.  Keep your life long friends close, be grateful for life and teach the young ones good things.    Thank you Brew Crew for another memorable weekend.
