Feels Like Fall (and a Hot Cocoa Recipe)

We are finally starting to get some cool weather here in Oklahoma (Hooray)! With that comes some of our favorite things to do, like sitting outside by the fire pit, drinking hot cocoa and just being outside more in general.

Since making the switch from eating a ton of processed foods, my kids have felt like they were missing out a bit on those store bought packages of hot chocolate mix. So, thanks to Lisa at 100 days of Real Food, we now have a homemade unprocessed version and the kids approve!

I adapted the recipe slightly from Lisa's 

Ingredients (makes 1 cup)

3/4 c Warm Milk

1 tsp 100% Maple Syrup

1/2 tsp unsweetened 100% cocoa powder

Mix together and enjoy :)

Just to give you an idea here's a comparison of ingredients in the store bought package vs. the homemade version (only 3 ingredients!)
