As I’m writing this, we’re currently entering the last leg of winter. As much as I want spring to arrive in full force, it just isn’t quite here yet, so why not continue indulging in a few cozy winter things while we still can? Easy Homemade Hot Chocolate, for instance!
A cup of hot cocoa paired with Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookies, Honey Sweetened Mug Brownie, Naturally Sweetened Monster Cookies, or No Bake Cookies | Naturally Sweetened would make for a perfect winter date night or family game night in!
