I'm Dreaming of Hot Chocolate and Organization...
By Heather Blake / Heather Webber
My wish for myself in 2012 is to become more organized! Practical, yes, and really, really needed. If anyone has some tips, I'm listening. :)
As for a recipe to share...here is a hot chocolate recipe that can be found in my newest ebook, Trouble Under the Tree (ANina Quinn Mystery). Stir with a leftover candy cane for an extra sweet treat.
Celeste Madeline Chambeau Quinn's Hot Chocolate
2 cups whole milk1 tsp. white sugar1/2 tsp. vanilla extract4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, finely choppedPinch of salt
Heat milk in a pot, stirring frequently with a whisk. When steam starts to rise from the pot, whisk in sugar and vanilla. Slowly whisk in chocolate until it's fully melted then add the pinch of salt. Heat for five minutes on low, stirring frequently so milk doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. Serves two. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, marshmallows, or chocolate shavings.
(Nina uses semi-sweet chocolate chips as a shortcut.)
Wishing everyone a very happy (organized) New Year!

I have a wonderful book about organizing. I'll have to find it and let you know the title. The best tip I got from it was put things where you use them not "away" like magazines or books-put a basket or end table next to your bed or chair where you read it not a bookshelf where you wont put it back. now this isnt reasonable for some like me but you get the idea. a basket for the mail where you sit and open it not at the front door..or whatever.
