Micah and Christine

Two of my favorite people...

So, I have this affinity for Brunch. Does anyone else love Brunch as much as I do? Since I like Brunch so much, I decided to fix an Easter Brunch for our little family. Cue the Honey bun french toast, happy sausage patties, and mango-blackberry smoothies...

I LOVE keeping homemade chocolate syrup on hand. You know, for the health benefits.

I originally got this recipe when Cate posted it on her old website. (Hi Cate! Congratulations on Baby James!) I think she got it from the book Miserly Moms.

Homemade Chocolate Syrup

Ingredients:
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup cold water
1 tsp vanilla

Directions:
Whisk together cocoa and sugar in a pot. Add salt and water and mix well. Cook over medium heat, bringing to a boil. Remove from heat. When cool, add vanilla. Makes a little less than 30 oz.

Micah says, "It's chocolate syrup that actually tastes chocolatey."

We like using the syrup to make chocolate milk. My favorite lately has been making a dessert with plain greek yogurt drizzled with cherry preserves, chocolate syrup, and almond slivers. Yummmm....

Enjoy!

Sorry my posts have been so boring as of late. I have a lot of school work. Like, 100's of pages of dense, philosophical reading per week. Maybe this summer, after I'm done with coursework, I'll start posting again. Maybe!
