~~posted by Jen It’s a freezing cold winter morning here in central New Jersey, and I am warming up with a Clicktastic Salted Caramel Cocoa before I make a nice breakfast for the boys and myself. Since two of them are pretty picky and the third is a vegetarian, it’s not always easy finding something we ALL like and can …

~~by Nikki Happy Holidays! If you’re anything like me, you have a whole troth of parties to attend this holiday season.

You all know I’m all for moderation, but once you get to the seventh party…moderation has sort of abandoned you four parties …

~~posted by Jen It’s been a VERY cold week here in New Jersey, last night it was uh 19 degrees. Not exactly the time for an icy beverage! That’s why for this week’s mocktail I made over a winter-time favorite. Every year during the holidays, I always make a big pot of mulled cider and let it simmer on the …
