BRRRRRRR! It’s cold out there (5-degrees right now, actually). So, to warm things up at your holiday get-togethers, how about a new twist on a popular hot drink? It’s an apple cider and cranberry juice combo you make in your slow cooker. Not only will it taste delish, your house will smell warm and cinnamony-spicy-good!

What’s your favorite warm beverage during these cold, cold, cold months?
Our family’s favorite beverage to counter cold weather is hot chocolate. I have yet to find a healthier recipe for this but we still love it.
Hot chocolate is definitely my favorite, too! Sometimes with a drop of peppermint extract – yum!
