Flavored Candy Spoons {for Hot Cocoa}

Texas isn’t known for cold winters but when you’re used to steaming hot days, any drop in the temperature makes it feel like hot cocoa season.  And any time we have hot cocoa, I love to add a fun little touch that takes a regular cup of cocoa up a notch.  These flavored candy spoons […]

Hot Cranberry Cider

We’ve had an unseasonably warm winter but that all ended yesterday when rain, tornadoes, high winds, and cold temperatures came in with a bang.  We’re doubling up on socks, digging out sweaters, sitting by the fire, and drinking hot cranberry cider by the pot full … and in case you’re experiencing a winter blast, I […]
