Happy Cuddling

Right at this moment there are HUGE fluffy snowflakes falling from the sky. We are expected to get 2 - 4 inches of snow by this evening, which isn't too big of a deal, but it's just enough to give you an excuse to curl up next to someone on the couch with a cup of hot cocoa and a good movie!

Tonight we are cooking at our place with some dear friends and then we will be going to a high school basketball game to support some of our students who play and cheer. After that I will without a doubt put this blog into action! =)

Here's a recipe I found today that I just might try out tonight:

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/3 cup boiling water
• 3 1/2 cups milk
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
• 
  
• Directions
• Combine the cocoa, sugar and pinch of salt in a saucepan. Blend in the boiling water. Bring this mixture to an easy boil while you stir. Simmer and stir for about 2 minutes. Watch that it doesn't scorch. Stir in 3 1/2 cups of milk and heat until very hot, but do not boil! Remove from heat and add vanilla. Divide between 4 mugs. Add the cream to the mugs of cocoa to cool it to drinking temperature.

Happy Cuddling!!!
