During this time of year, many people are trying to think of the best gift to buy for friends, family, co-workers, etc. For someone who likes to read, Amazon books might be a good place to look for a gift. For the person who loves to cook, then a store or website that carries kitchen items would be great places to shop. Whatever their main interest, it makes it easier to shop if you look for those types of gifts first.
This makes delicious hot chocolate to have during the holidays!
INGREDIENTS:
Heat milk in the microwave on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. (I use a microwave-proof mug.) Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well. Top with whipped cream.
I enjoy listening to awesome Christmas music on KLTY whenever I have a chance. I listen every day while doing things at home, working on the computer, and when driving somewhere. One thing I really like about KLTY is not only their great selection of Christmas music by well-known artists, but also their “Christmas Wish” for families who have found themselves in an economic crisis. They interview the person online who nominated the family and explain the family’s situation, and then they actually talk to the recipient of the gift (maybe $2,500 to catch up on mortgage payments, or money to make car payments they’re behind on or needed car repairs, or money to pay utilities, and always money to buy Christmas presents for the children). The recipients are usually overwhelmed and so thankful, and to me, this is a very touching and heart-warming part of the program.
If someone is stuck at a computer all day or working from home on their computer, KLTY has an online radio player that makes their music easily accessible.
The first set of holidays is past, and I did fairly well as far as what I ate. I won’t need phentermine or anything like that because I got a little extra exercise and just ate in moderation. We had all the family favorites which I did modify some as far as the amount of fat and sugar. But we really couldn’t tell the difference very much. It was a good thing there was less fat and calories considering we had yummy left-overs for several days.
