Airing My Clean Laundry

 

As I begin 2013, I want to make a point to be more "Green."  One of the ways we have started to conserve energy is to hang our laundry.  We are doing so inside this winter and my hope is that i can continue doing this throughout the year.  My husband hung a shower curtain rod, from Lowes, in our laundry room.  We hang all of our pants, shirts, PJ's, and jackets in there to dry.  I sometimes fold the towels in half and hang them too.  If the rack is too full, I hang the towel over the corner of the door to dry.  Our clothes dry within 24 hours, so I can do about 1 to 2 loads a day. 

For the smaller items such as underwear and socks, we use a drying rack. 

My husband and I have cut our use of the dryer down from 6-10 loads each week to 1-2 loads.  We are saving lots of $$$ this way!  We also use only cold water in our washing machine, so that is also helping keep the cost of laundry down. 

The Best Ever Hot Chocolate

 

 

I came upon this recipe on the internet (cooks.com) one cold, winter's day as my children were playing outside in the snow.  We were out of hot chocolate packets from the store, so I thought to myself, "I'm going to make some from scratch!"  I was very pleased with the result.  I don't remember my mother's tasting like this as a child.  I remembered a watered down, coca drink!  My kids and husband thought it was the best they've ever had!  I hope you feel the same way once you try it!

 

The Best Ever Hot Chocolate Recipe:

 

1 Tbsp Coca Powder

2 Tbsp Sugar

2 Tbsp Water

1 Cups of Milk

1 tsp Vanilla

 

Mix the coca powder, sugar, and water together.  Heat over the stove for about one minute.  Whisk in the milk and vanilla.  Continue stirring occasionally until you have the desired temperature.  

 

Don't forget to add marshmallows to this wonderful hot chocolate!

 

This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for the amount of people you will be serving!
