For decades I was a hot chocolate girl. Nothing swayed me from reaching for a hot cup of cocoa when the temps began to drop except for the occasional cup of hot cider. That is until I tried wassail at a friend’s house. It totally hits the spot without being too rich or sweet and it’s the perfect blend of all of my favorite holiday scents and spices: apples, citrus, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Many recipes call for sugar or honey, but I don’t think that it really needs that. Pineapple juice is naturally sweet and I use my favorite unsweetened and never concentrated Simply® 100% Apple Juice and Simply® Orange Juice so it tastes amazing! My 15-year-old says that it smells like I’m burning a candle every time I make it. It’s better than a candle because I not only get to enjoy the scent, but I can drink it too, ha! (Note: it’s more fragrant when simmered over the stove with the lid off vs. in a slow cooker)

My wassail recipe is super simple, can be stored in the refrigerator, and can be prepared in a slow cooker or simmered on the stove.

I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still re I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still recovering from Christmas 😂), but I always have holiday candy on hand! This year I filled the jar with petite sour hearts after hearing how amazing they are from @triedandtruemoms. They were right, we are all fans over here! Maybe more places will stock them now that they are in such demand. I ordered mine from @candynationusa (don’t waste your time looking on Amazon. They are charging twice as much for less candy).

Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻

A great project to work on during Christmas break. She’s making herself a pink one after Christmas. We bought several colors of bulky yarn at Walmart for $2.97 each. Each skein makes 1 hat.

Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Sant Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Santa (although the Santa who comes to our house prefers sugar cookies. He can share these with Mrs. Claus). Ruby has them all picked out—-gingerbread boys, gingerbread girls, and ninja-bread cookies. Should be fun. Had to go out and get more molasses and it wasn’t easy to find! Everyone else must be making gingerbread, too!
