Made From Scratch Hot Cocoa
My kids and I love Hot Cocoa. The weather right now is just right for sipping on a steamy cup. I have many fond memories from when we lived in Virginia and North Carolina that involve this delicious treat. It is even better after coming in from building snowmen and having snowball fights.
We haven’t seen any snow since we’ve moved to Florida several years ago but the weather still gets a bit nippy. This weekend was definitely cocoa weather. I used the Keurig to make my cocoa to take out to the woods with me. Just place the cocoa in your mug and set it under the Keurig. You don’t need a K-cup as the hot water will flow right through it, into your cup, and Voila… Hot Cocoa. Enjoy it as it is or add some marshmallows.
We also enjoy making this when we have our ‘Polar Express’ parties… hopefully, I’ll be writing a post about this soon. This is also a great treat to take camping with you to enjoy on those crisp mornings.
I have two versions of this and you can try them both to find your favorite. I often make double batches as we can go through quite a bit of this rather quickly. (You will need a large container with a tight lid to store this in.) Continue reading “Made From Scratch Hot Cocoa”
Lawry’s Garlic Salt
I know this is something silly to post about but I really love this stuff!
I love garlic and garlic salt is a must have in my pantry. I recently had to buy some more and found this brand, Lawry’s, which I hadn’t used before. I liked the fact that it also had parsley with it too.
I’ve used it on so many different things and it’s always delicious. I especially like to use it in mashed potatoes. The little bit of parsley in it provides a small pop of color too.
Tonight I sprinkled it on some fish when I was making Broiled Parmesan Tilapia and it provided just enough flavor to take it to another level.
If you haven’t tried this brand I highly recommend that you give it a try. I’m going to grab another bottle when I go grocery shopping again because I don’t want to run out.

Southwestern Produce Company
Update:
We have been using this company for over 2 years now and we love them even more than we first did! This is a great way to stock up on healthy options and save money too!
This is a company I had recently heard about and really wanted to try. Well, this past weekend we did pick up our order of veggies and I will say that I am very pleased!
I’ve been really busy this year and we didn’t put out a garden so being able to get farm fresh produce was a real treat. It looks just as good as if I had gone to the work of growing it and putting it up myself. Best of all the freezer is pretty well stocked for the next couple of months and hopefully, we will have enough frozen veggies to supplement the fresh ones I find until we can place another order.

Homeschool: Acorn Crafts
What a better way to celebrate the changing of the seasons than with some fun crafts? This week we are doing some different Fall themed crafts so I’ll try to take some pictures and post them so you can use them in your home as well. Most kids love art projects and my kids love ones that involve scissors and glue. (They love glitter too but I’m not that brave today…lol.)
This idea would really work for just about any shape you like for any season… just find or draw your shape and let the kids decorate with torn paper, paint, buttons, beads, or things they might find on a nature hunt. Just have fun with it!
