My Favorite Toast Spread

       For a few years now I usually make my own honey butter for my toast, and lately I have felt like something was missing... So while I was making my lunch today, which was over easy eggs with toast, I started thinking of cinnamon butter. I had a great idea of just putting cinnamon in my honey butter, and come to find out it is the best thing I have ever made to spread on my toast. I looked it up online and of course it has been out there for years, but I never thought of it. I just have to say if any of my readers have not had it, you should try it! It is delicious! I normally make my spreads from scratch because it tastes better when fresh. Well... I hope you all try it, and like it!

Apologies

       My apologies for not posting anything since January 27th. The reason for that is a passing in the family, school, and my new job. I will be trying to post at least once a month... I will do my best at keeping track, but there will be times where I am running late. Thank you for understanding.

Thick Italian Hot Chocolate

One day last week I was on Facebook, and I came across a picture of hot chocolate. The only reason it caught my eye is that the chocolate was very thick, and I have never seen hot chocolate so thick. My eyes widened and I almost started to drool when I had seen that pic, so I just knew I had to find the recipe. I told my best friend Cassandra about this recipe, and she is desperate to try it. So, I told her that I will make it for her during Superbowl weekend. There is a carnival in Venice, Italy, and it is one of the top drinks served there.  This recipe is great when it is cold outside, and you are sitting by a warm fire watching movies.     

Servings: 4

• 1 cup whole milk or 2% (which ever you desire), separated in 3/4 cup and 1/4 cup 
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 4 1/2 ounces high quality dark chocolate 70%, finely chopped
• About a cup of whipped cream, optional
• 1 1/12 Bailey’s Irish Cream or Kahlua, optional (if you like a little liqueur flavor)

Combine the 3/4 cup milk, cream and sugar in a saucepan and heat until it starts to bubble around the edges. While the milk mixture is heating, whisk together the 1/4 cup of milk and the cornstarch until it is smooth. Once the milk mixture starts bubbling around the edges, add the milk and cornstarch mixture to it and whisk until it's heated through. Add the chocolate and whisk together until it's smooth, hot and thick. Pour into mugs and serve with whipped cream. ENJOY!

Vegetarian Recipes for Cooking Fanatic's Future?

   

       I have been wandering around on youtube watching cooking videos and I kept coming across vegetarian recipes. I have eaten vegetarian dishes before, and I do have to say that they are actually quite delicious! I always have a lot more energy after I have eaten something with a lot of veggies! Some people say that vegetarian dishes are bland, but they just have not tried to jazz them up. You can always find a way to spice up a vegetarian dish. Make it feel like fireworks are just going off in your mouth and your eyes are just saying "WOW!!!... I would love to have some more of whatever that is!" 

       I will be finding vegetarian recipes for future posts, but do NOT worry because I will still be posting about meat! I am a meat lover like a lot of people out there! When these new vegetarian recipes are posted they will be exploding with flavor, because I don't want people to get all upset that they worked so hard on their meal and then come to find out it tastes horrible. Do not worry I will make sure that the future will be filled with  wonderful and tasty foods!
