December in Scandinavia is a dark, wintry time, and...

The holidays are fast aproaching and as the weather turns cold fond memories come flooding back of when I was in Germany for the Christmas season.

I love Hot Chocolate all winter long. It’s always better when you top it with whipped cream and try adding some mint. (Mint flavored Hershey kisses work well) I like to drink hot chocolate best while eating Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, the combination is so yummy. If I’m in a hurry then I just buy the allready made hot cocoa mixes. This is much easier for the kids. I make my own by...

Halloween is barely a memory and it is already time to start thinking about Thanksgiving, Hannukah and Christmas. One major food/drink item that holds these holidays is a tasty beverage. I love to comb the net (and my mom friend blogs) for inspiration as far as what kind of drinks to include in a holiday feast.
