I can have one.

It's not the holidays, without
Queen Anne chocolate covered cherries.

It was practically a tradition at our house to eat a box (or two) of these every night, in the month of December.

This year, I can't eat an entire box of these, like years past.
But I can have one.

And I made sure to savour every bite of that one, delicious, chocolate covered cherry.

Here's how I eat my Queen Annes:

First, I bite off the top.
Then the cherry, and that delicious juice.
And last, but certainly not least, I eat the chocolaty shell.
And it makes me really happy.
You can still enjoy all your favorite seasonal treats.
Everything in moderation.

Happy holidays!

Tis' The Season For Hot Cocoa

-2 cups of low-fat milk
- 2 rounded tablespoons of 70% dark chocolate cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons of sugar

Simple, chocolaty, all natural, antioxidant rich,
goodness.

Is there anything better then sitting in front of the fire, wrapped up in your favorite blanket, and drinking a cup of hot cocoa?

I don't think there is.

Did you know there's a difference between hot cocoa, and hot chocolate?

Hot chocolate is made with chocolate chips, or pieces from a chocolate bar. Where as hot cocoa is made with cocoa powder. Hot cocoa is healthier for you, and lower in calorie, as it doesn't have cocoa butter in it. Learn something new everyday ;)
