Hot Chocolate Reindeer

Posted on September 27, 2018 by Jamie H

Do you need an easy Christmas present for your neighbors, coworkers, or those long-lost relatives that come to Aunt Gertrude’s house that you’re supposed to give a present to? Then look no further than these delicious, sure-to-please hot chocolate reindeer. Christmas will be here before we know it, and there are always gifts to be given. But I know that there are times in our lives when money is short, and we just can’t afford to give expensive gifts. Hot chocolate reindeer are inexpensive to make, but they prove that you were still putting forth effort. Buy a mug from

Sparkling Blueberry Lemonade

Posted on June 18, 2018 by Kerry

Sparkling Blueberry Lemonade is a refreshing twist on lemonade. The blueberries give it a little different flavor and the seltzer water gives it a little pep. Jamie and I went to the Everything Food Conference at the beginning of May. It is a conference for food bloggers. We had a great time. I had such a great time that I drank sodas. I haven’t had a soda in 2.5 years. The first one was good. The second was ok, and the third was yuck. In the last 2.5 years, I have only drank iced tea, hot tea, hot chocolate coffee,

Cold Brew Coffee

Posted on May 29, 2018 by Kerry

Have you had cold brew coffee yet? Are you wondering what cold brew coffee is? Are you wondering what they hype is? Well, you have come to the right place. Cold Brew Coffee is simply made by steeping coffee grounds in room-temp or cold water. The grounds are steeped for 12 – 24 hours at room-temp. I like to leave mine for 24 hours on my counter. Are you wondering why in the world would I want to make coffee this way? Why would you want to wait that long for coffee? Cold Brew Coffee is less acidic which in

Candy Cane Frozen Hot Chocolate Milkshake

Posted on December 12, 2017 by Jamie H

The perfect combination of peppermint and chocolate comes together in this Christmasy Candy Cane Frozen Hot Chocolate Milkshake recipe! If I had to pick just one flavor that was Christmas to me, it would be the peppermint flavor of candy canes. Perhaps because they are something that I only have once a year, they seem like a treat. Every year, I attempt to come up with some new recipe I can use candy canes in, and this year it’s candy cane frozen hot chocolate milkshakes! Yum! Many years ago, I worked as a barista in a coffee shop. One of

Peach Tea

Posted on June 29, 2017 by Kerry

Peach Tea is another great cold drink for the summer. A sweet tea with refreshing peach flavor. You can make this as sweet as you want. When I think summer, I think bbq’s, fresh fruit, salads, and sweet tea. Summertime means hot days. You won’t catch me without a cold drink during the summer. My favorite is sweet iced tea. Our ice maker quit working this week and I was an unhappy camper. I need ice! Fortunately, it was a pretty easy fix and I have ice once again. I am once again drinking iced coffee and iced tea.

Lavender Lemonade

Posted on June 27, 2017 by Kerry

Lavender Lemonade is a refreshing twist on lemonade. It has just a hint of lavender and gives you a spa like drink when you need to relax. It’s officially summer. It’s hot. Even here in the mountains. I find that I try to hydrate more when it’s hot. And since I’ve kicked soda to the curb and I’m not a huge fan of water, I have gotten creative with finding things to drink. Lemonade and iced tea have been my staples for a while. But I get bored of those after a while. One way I change up my iced

Virgin Strawberry Rhubarb Margaritas

Posted on May 11, 2017 by Jamie H

These Virgin Strawberry Rhubarb Margaritas are a sweet, tart frozen mocktail. My kids were so thrilled when I made them Virgin Watermelon Margaritas, that they’ve been asking me to make them another “special drink.” So today I decided to go for it and give it a try, and these Virgin Strawberry Rhubarb Margaritas were conceived. I’ve got a big rhubarb plant that is about as hardy as a plant can get. We moved in the fall before last, and most of the yard was either overgrown weedy, or dead and scorched, due to the fact that it had been vacant

Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa

Posted on January 30, 2017 by Kerry

Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa is a very chocolaty hot cocoa. It is the most delicious and decadent hot cocoa you’ve ever had. It is a perfect indulgence for a cold snowy day. It has snowed a ton this winter here in Idaho. Most everyone is over the snow and it’s only January. In the town I live in, we have gotten over 60 inches of snow. Our average is about 45 inches. We have come to a point that we don’t know where to put the snow anymore and we are paying people to haul it away. I am

25+ Nutella Recipes: Breakfasts, drinks, cookies, truffles, frozen and regular desserts, and more! When I was in high school, I had the privilege of going on a month long exchange to Germany. Each of us American students was partnered with a German student. The German students came and stayed with us for a month, and then the following year, we went and stay with them for a month. It was in Germany that I was first introduced to Nutella. Germany was such an incredible experience. Living with a German family made the trip much more authentic than it would have
