Hot Chocolate -- Week 3

We make and consume a lot of Hot Chocolate. I have tried so many recipes. Here is one of my favorite (and easy and low in calories)

4 cups milk (I use skim)
1 package no sugar added chocolate pudding.

Stir together on the stovetop until you reach the desired temperature.

Drink! Because of the gelatin it has a creaminess that is only parallelled with LOTS of cream -- but this is a pretty low cal way to enjoy all the creaminess.

Retro meal

My kids had home-made egg mcmuffins (toasted english muffins, bacon, cheese, and a poached egg) and for dessert Orange Julius. I hadn't had one in years. It was delicious and the perfect complement to a breakfasty dinner.

Orange Julius
1 can orange juice concentrate
2 cups milk (I used some half and half cuz I had it and I am sure it helped make it so creamy)
2 cups water
1 tsp vanilla
16 cubes of ice

BLEND.

Add more ice if necessary
