Bulk Drink Mixes, Fun and Easy Gift Giving

With a large family we can run through a box of hot coco in one sitting. SOoooo the easiest thing to do is to make it all in bulk and keep in a container to use. It's way cheaper and super delicious!!

Along with using some of the mixes below, they make great gifts for teachers, neighbors, bus drivers, and friends. You can use a mason jar with an oak tag for directions, or just print a sticker! Make them your own! Personalize how you wish, We had dipped plastic spoons in chocolate let it harden and attach to hot coco mix. Candy cane can be added as well. :) 

Here are some ideas:

Hot Coco
1 8 Qt box of Non-fat dry milk
1 6 oz jar of nondairy creamer (aka Creamora)
1 lb Powdered Sugar
1 16oz container Nestles Quik
Mix all together store in airtight container, use 1/2 to 3/4 C mix to hot mug of water.

Here's another Hot Coco, I really like this one.
1 C Coco Powder
21 oz of Creamora
2 lb box powered sugar
1 large box of instant pudding. you choose choc, or vanilla
8 C powered milk
Mix it well. I put this in my kitchen aid and use the whisk attachment to crush the dry milk really well.
1/4 C to hot water.

Russian Tea
3/4 C Instant unsweetened tea
2 C tang
1 1/2 C Sugar
1/2 t ground cloves
1 T cinnamon
Mix all together, store in airtight container. 1 1/2 to 2 T to a  cup of boiling water.

The Russian Tea is great if your beginning to get sick, I swear it helps fight off colds! :)

FireSide Coffee
2 C quik chocolate Mix
2 C coffee creamer (dry)
1 C instant coffee
1 1/2 C Sugar
1 t Cinnamon
1 t nutmeg

Mix well, add 2-3 heaping spoonfuls to a cup of hot milk! Delicious!!!

The beauty about bulk is that you can adjust ingredients for your families needs.
Super fun to make with the kiddos and fun to drink!

From My Bella Cucina to Yours!

Enjoy!!!

Cool Temps = Warm Meals

  One of my favorite things to do on a cold crisp day is cooking and baking. Something about the smell of onions, carrots, and celery sauteing up brings a sense of home. And remind me powerfully of my grandmother. The memories of being in her home and feeling her love are all tied to food, where she spent the bulk of her time. Preparing nourishing meals for her family.  When we take the time to prepare meals, we show love to our family. Tonight, I made a Potatoe, Bacon, Cheddar, and Good Ol' Fashion Chicken Noodle.

Hubby was in an accident....

Proverbs 31 11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. The blaring ring of the phone woke me on Tuesday morning... 7:15am... I knew as soon as I looked at the clock, something was wrong. No one calls here that early.. I quickly peel a child out of my arms and trying to not wake her, before the phone does. She had a restless night. "hello" in a whisper.. as I was still in my bedroom. Walking out of my room, I hear my darling hubbys nervous voice, "I was in an accident" Me, "Are you ok"... Him, "yes" Me" do you need me to come?" Him, "no, I'll call you" He explained what happened. His company truck was pretty messed up, and the air bags went off. He said he had some airbag burn, felt ok, just stressed. Next call I got was from him in the police car, the officer was kind enough to drop him off at work. The convers

Home Love Hammock Style

This lovely gift was a 21st wedding anniversary present from my lovely husband.  I absolutely love this thing.. For many reasons...  My hammock brings me peace.   Why??  Because I love to be outside and be in nature.   So everyday weather and schedule permitting I try and get on my hammock.  It's bring me closer to my children.  They will see me out there and come out and lay with me on it.  From my 17 year old on down to my 5 year old.  My 17 year old and I have had the best chats just laying and swinging on that thing.  My youngest daughters 13, and soon to be 10 will bring their books out and  just veg and read with me.  My 5 year old will crawl up on that and just snuggle and chat with me, eventually giving way to the peacefulness of outside and fall asleep in my arms. My grandbabies will cuddle with grammy  and let me read or just hold them.  I have even had my best girlfriends come over and join me on that thing and we are able to relax and fr
