Hot Cocoa for Two
What could be better than sitting by the fire with someone special and enjoying a good cup of hot cocoa?
This is the best hot cocoa I have ever had. My own recipe.
Ingredients
2 or 3 Tbsp sugar, depends on the people
2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (Scharffen Berger 99% or equivalent)
1 Tsp Vanilla extract
¼ Tsp Almond extract
Directions
Add the sugar and cocoa while still cold.
It will take a lot of stirring; cocoa doesn’t want to mix with the milk. Stir constantly
When warm, add the extracts.
When hot, pour into heated mugs and enjoy!
Notes
The mugs I use are more than a cup, so I use the mugs to measure the milk. Do not completely fill them.

Orange Julius-like Protein Drink
This kind of evolved over many years. It started with a raw egg in orange juice, which I didn't approve of. I replaced the egg with a scoop of soy protein powder, but it was slightly gritty and didn't taste right. Replaced the soy with vanilla flavored whey protein, voila!
Ingredients
1 scoop vanilla flavored whey-based protein powder
Directions
Pour into a glass and drink!
Notes
Crushed ice may be added as well if desired.

Unbelievable Bundt Cake
Bundt cake is a classic Christmas dessert, but it seems that no one's really sure how to make it correctly. The ideal Bundt cake is moist and rich, but not overpowering in sweetness. The richness and moistness in traditional Bundt cakes comes from butter, but this recipe substitutes applesauce instead and uses sugar-free maple syrup as a sweetener.
Ingredients
1 Cup White Pastry Flour
1 Cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
2 Eggs
1 Large Apple, chopped
1/3 Cup Sugar-Free Maple Syrup
15 oz (1 can) Pumpkin OR Sweet Potato Puree
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
1 Tablespoon Ginger
½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
