Hot Chocolate | With a Little Flare

What a lovely Winter we are having this Spring...

So even though it's OFFICIALLY Spring... it feels like Winter!  Maybe even colder then winter, at least down here in Florida it feels like it!

And what does one have when they dislike coffee and don't really feel like having tea but would greatly appreciate a hot substance of some sort?

Hot Chocolate!

Hot Chocolate

With a little Jade Flare to it 

8 teaspoons of Corn Starch

 1/2 cup of Cocoa Powder

3/4 cup of Sugar

1/2 cup of Water

4 cups of Milk

1/4 cup of Chocolate chips

Dash of Cinnamon

Bit of Salt

Pinch of Red Pepper

Mix Corn starch, Cocoa Powder and Sugar in Small pot.

Add water and whisk

Add milk to chocolate mixture.

Add chocolate chips until melted.

Add the dashes of Cinnamon, Salt and Red Pepper.
(Trust me, the cinnamon and red pepper add the perfect warmness!)

Whisk until desired thickness, but don't stir for to long!  It'll start thickening into pudding, I would know from experience....

Doesn't it look yummy?  And don't you love my little violin cup my Grandma got me?  


With Lots of Love,

DIY: Glitter Jar & Modge Podge

What girl doesn't like glitter?  It's shinny and comes in all sorts of colors and makes me ooohh 'n ahh every time I see something with shinny glitter.  But who.... would have thought I could make my own little glitter jar?

You need Three Things:

1. Mason Jar (any size)

2. Glitter (Color of your choice)

3. Modge Podge (Recipe Below)

• Coat the Jar with Modge Podge 
• Coat with Glitter
• Spray with Sealer or Modge podge
• Done! 

I was searching around for Modge Podge and when I found it, I was greatly surprised by how expensive it was.  But, I wouldn't leave you guys hanging like that....
