Peppermint Hot Chocolate

November 22, 2013 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 11 Comments

Time to get cozy with some peppermint hot chocolate. I know this is really a simple recipe, but it’s still a solid one and a good one. Besides that, the first good rain of the season has finally come and I’m feeling all warm and nest-y (I know, way articulate).

Okay, let’s commiserate about holiday hectic-ness. Seriously, it’s madness around here lately, between work, the blog and trying to get Christmas decorations up–but for every sigh I let out–I’m so thankful for my beautiful family around me that they don’t get upset when I forget to pack their lunch, shrink their favorite no-dryer shirt and fall asleep five minutes into a movie.

So this weekend we are going to carve out some time and finish putting up our Christmas decorations with some of this hot chocolate. And of course I’m super excited because we are departing from our usual decorations. Matt and I decided we are going retro–like when we were kids, with tinsel and the tinsel type garland. Along with that we decided on a white tree–and I don’t mean the kind you flock. I mean a white tree–it’s fake, almost tacky, definitely retro and way freak’n cool.

The boys aren’t quite sure of it , but at least the hot chocolate will be a hit.

    This is great for the Kiddies but really good for us adults if instead of the andes a shot of peppermint schnapps brings it right over the top!

Need an easy recipe that helps prevent food waste, Need an easy recipe that helps prevent food waste, and saves you time and money? What about a chance to win a $500 Walmart giftcard? I've got you covered then. 

This Kale and Sausage Strata is the kind of dish that uses up all those bits and pieces in the refrigerator. This means dig through the crispier and let’s make the most of what’s in there. For what you see here, I threw in two handfuls of kale, 2 cups sausage, some mushrooms and cheese. All things that came together for one cohesive dish. To boost the flavor, I used Morton® Coarse Kosher Salt because its coarse flakes makes it easy to pinch and allows me full control when seasoning a dish.
 
Yay, to doing more with Morton. 

Now I have a challenge for you. Join me and let's #erasefoodwaste. While you are at it, you can also enter @mortonsalt sweepstakes and win a $500 Walmart gift card or other Morton goodies! 
Rules for entry are: 
• Share your no food waste recipe, tag @MortonSalt and use the #DoMoreWithMortonSweepstakes hashtag. 
• Must follow @MortonSalt on IG to participate. Good luck!
