Jeb's Super Creamy Hot Chocolate

Music, friendship and food are three of my favorite things. When I first hatched the plan for my new podcast, Happiest Hour, I knew I wanted to chat with my guests over a delicious beverage and share recipes. In Ep. 01, my guest is recording artist, reality TV star, and super pregnant, Whitney Duncan!

I turned to my supporters in our private Facebook group to find a few good recipes I could share. They had some great suggestions!

One idea came from Jeb in Virginia. It’s really more of a hack than a recipe, but it’s a darn good way make simple hot chocolate super creamy and kid-friendly so that the whole family can get involved! This was a perfect choice for Whitney, my mama-to-be podcast guest.

A hand frother or a blender will be your best friend for this hack. And don’t forget the marshmallows!

Classic Roasted Root Vegetables

This is the PERFECT side dish for your holiday table! And it’s easy as pie to make — except it’s more nutritious than pie. 😉 This rustic roasted veggie dish will add beautiful color to your plate.

Dan doesn’t even like cooked carrots, but he LOVES this dish. And can we take a moment to talk about fennel? I’ve been sleeping on fennel! One of Dan’s favorite recipes that I cook utilizes fennel seed, but I have never tried the real thing until recently. Now, I slice raw fennel into my salads, I use the fronds in homemade salad dressings, and I chop it into wedges for this beautiful dish. If you’re not familiar with fennel either, don’t let it intimidate you. Treat it just like an onion. Trim off the ends, peel back the top layer and you’re good to go.

Check out how easy and delicious getting your veggies in will be with this easy weekend side dish:

Savory & Salty Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Savory & Salty Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

There are so many flavor variations out there for roasting pumpkin seeds. My personal favorite is a savory and salty seasoning that’s easy and delicious! I got the thumb’s up from my son, who loved the taste. My home smelled cozy and amazing during the roasting process, which is an extra bonus! Plus, I’m saving some money because nuts and seeds are expensive! I’ll eat a handful of seeds as a snack, sprinkle them in soup or on top of my salad for lunch.
