Take your thermostat out and drive it around a little, see if it changes. Perhaps your thermostat is stuck closed. Or you can take it out and boil it and see if it opens up. Either way, check the thermostat, check that you have sufficient fluid, and check that it's not blowing bubbles into your overflow canister.

Ok, take the cap off the overflow tank, leave the end of the rubber in the coolant that's in there, and plug the overflow line and while the car is idling, check to see if it bubbles at all, or if any white colored smoke/air appears. You can try changing the thermostat.
