Hot Chocolate It's Notcolate


The winter cold and the recent poor air quality (yes, pathetic) will be confining us to our warm indoors this weekend. With Loverboy away, the kids and I will be cozying up to moon sand play, doing drawings, watching old Charlie Brown cartoons, and rejuvenating their reading corner. And of course drinking lots of yummy warm stuff.


If you're wanting a cozy beverage for the kiddies but want to limit sugar overload: instead of cup after cup of hot chocolate (which is indisputably awesome), serve herbal tea such as chamomile or vanilla--teas that lend themselves to adding milk and mini marshmallows or homemade unsweetened whipped cream. For a bit of sweetness, add a dash of honey or agave nectar.

Happy winter weekend!
