Very hard to decide my AMAZING 3 in a holiday month! 

There are amazing kids scooters and retro kids toys I hope bring the same joy as when I was young.

One of my favorite Christmas morning memories is getting my first (bright red) awesome ghettoblaster and my sisters playing their new WHAM! cassette(..!) while my brother and I lined up his Domino Rally :)

I realized on my brisk, productive walk today (beautiful sunshine, wrote a new song), the most amazing gift I've had recently is making time for solitary, enlightening walks in nature as many mornings as possible. 

So that's my number 2 and I love that it's free! My choices are all pretty healthy actually, even no. 3 as you'll see - it's a new SUPER simple alternative to chocolate bars that are full of sugar and added ingredients.

HOLIDAY AMAZING 3 :

1) NINJA (SS101 Food Smoothie Maker & Nutrient Extractor) - SO AWESOME! I make my kids these easy, healthy popsicles every week. After filling the molds I drink the rest of the delicious smoothie myself.

2) A BEAUTIFUL DAILY WALK IN NATURE :)

3) QUICK, HOMEMADE WARM CHOCOLATE (2 INGREDIENTS!) 

I make this in 2 seconds, it's literally just Organic Cacao and Grade A Maple Syrup. I just make it as I go so experiment with how much of each ingredient :

Warm the syrup in a glass (don't boil) 1-2 teaspoons or more depending if it's for lots of people or just you! Then simply mix in 1-2 teaspoons of the cacao powder. Stir well until the powder is absorbed and it's a smooth consistency. Experiment with consistency and sweetness to your liking.  

You can pour it into hot milk to make hot chocolate, spread on buttered toast as homemade warm chocolate spread. Pour over pancakes / waffles etc, I'm sure it would be amazing as a dip for fruit or anything else! Let me know if you try it!

I have a second simple chocolate recipe I'll share for a large chocolate slab you put in the fridge and break off. That's great too and only 3 ingredients with coconut oil (4 if you like a bit of salt).

I'm not any kind of seasoned baker or chef, cooking is not my strong suit so any recipes on here I recommend that I've made you definitely can too as they'll always be quick, easy and tasty!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
