Happiness In A Cup

Did you know today is National Hot Cocoa Day? I love Hot Cocoa how about you? 

Hot Cocoa is just happiness in a cup. My favorite thing to add to the warming goodness drink is cinnamon. I put a couple of dashes of cinnamon in my drink now. I have my husband hooked on it too, of course marshmallows are a must and on occasion a little peppermint candy cane is nice too. When I was a child, after playing in the snow, my Mom would give us a cup of hot cocoa and toast with cinnamon and sugar. My sister, Lisa and I would typically hate coming inside until we saw what was waiting for us on the table. Now, my Mom's hot cocoa was home made and we just thought it was the bomb!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Unsweetened Cocoa (Mom always used Nesquik)
  • 4 cups Powdered Milk (Mom always used Carnation)
  • 3 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 cup Non Dairy Creamer
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon of Pure Vanilla Powder
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix with a wire whisk until well combined. Store in an air tight container.

Per Cup

    • 1/3 cup cocoa mix to 3/4 cup of boiling hot water. Mix well. 
    • 2 Tablespoons to 1/4 cup of boiling hot water. Mix well for a small cup.


Do you add anything to your Hot Cocoa?

Many Blessing,

Slow Down - Stay A Little Bit

Repost: March 12, 2017 previous blog Now, I look forward to the season of life I am in. Watching my boys becoming responsible young adults/adults. I love the relationship I have with them but I also miss the days they are little from time to time. Life is definitely changing, always changing.  I love my new position at work.  I am finally getting used to the "normal" hours and I will be able to dedicate a couple of nights to my blogging again and reading my favorite bloggers/friends. In the midst of it all, I have seriously became old ... my body aches so much any more.  I am seeing a doctor to assist with the pain.  The end of March and the beginning of April are my worst time of year.  This year I hope I am able to concentrate on the memories and love of my Dad and concentrate on Emily's baby shower for our new little soon grandchildren. I think I am battling some Empty Nest feelings.  My boys are growing up and they reach out to me very little.  NoNo will be graduating

Thankful Thursday ~ Sierra Jo Dominguez

I have been making my plans to complete our yarden next year. Yes, that was a "y" in place of a "g".  I follow Sierra Jo Dominguez on Instagram. She is another person who saved me. I love following her. She is a beautiful soul. She has fake cooking shows, backyard gardening, home repair and remodeling, she shares her life, and her new passion for pottery. She is a Christian as well and just like Tia Bee Stokes, she is real and spreads positive message. Sierra shared how she was creating a yarden and she inspired me not only to increase my Butterfly Garden but rebuild the backyard to our yarden last Summer, I will later post about the beginning of the yarden. I am excited to see her yarden but it has been placed on hold because growing a pottery business takes a lot of time when she is also a Mama of seven children, two of then are toddlers. She is homes schooling the children.  Our kitten, Bella even loves Sierra Jo Dominguez.  This was her small box of Joy. I bough
