Breakfast apple pie yogurt

So after making all 100 mini apple pies and 200 cookies I found myself with some left over diced apples that hadn't been seasoned yet. I added a handful of the apples to some plain Greek yogurt, sprinkled in some cinnamon and nutmeg, a bit of granola (I love natures path organic granola so yummy!) drizzled with a bit of honey and it was so good!

The kids loved it although in theirs I puréed the apples, aly will eat whole apples but if you cut them she won't touch them and drew wont eat apples if he can see them.

I have to admit... I think that this tastes better then my apple pies and the best part is that it is so much healthier than actual pie lol.

Next time I am going to use vanilla yogurt and skip the honey drizzle it was a bit to sweet for me.

Hazelnut hot chocolate and cookies

It is a cold day here today, cloudy and dreary. I have 200 cookies to make for a BBQ at work, I'm exhausted and would rather spend the day curled up on the couch with Aly watching Harry Potter and reading books or coloring.

To give us some much needed energy me and aly made some hazelnut hot chocolate from scratch and it was good. The recipe is very simple

2 cups of milk
2 tblsp cocoa powder
4 tblsp home made nutella (store bought works too)
You can add more or use less nutella to your taste. 4 tblsp gives the hot chocolate just a nice mild barely there hazelnut taste.

Now that I have energy I am off to try to make 200 cookies in 3 hours and get my house and kitchen clean while I'm baking lol. Hopefully I at least get all the cookies made.
