3 c. powder milk

  • 3/4 c. cocoa powder
  • 
1 c. sugar

  • dash of salt

MIX AND STORE
3 c. powder milk
3/4 c. cocoa powder
1 c. sugar
dash of salt   

EASY TO STORE
1 Lb. cocoa mix (Quick) 
1.5 Lb. instant milk 
1-6oz. coffeemate 
.25 c. powdered sugar 

EASIEST
1/3 c. cocoa mix (store bought)
Hot water
Coffee mug
Combine ingredients and mix.  Makes 8 servings.  For 1 serving place 1/3 cup dry mixture in cup, add boiling water and stir. 

NUKED COCOA
(modified version of the Hershey's can-side recipe)
2 tsp cocoa *

1 tsp sugar *
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Milk (12 oz. or so for a typical mug)
Mix with a bit of milk (1 oz or so) in mug.  Nuke mug for about 30-50 seconds.  Stir until the heated cocoa dissolves.  Fill mug with milk. Nuke for 1-2 minutes, depending on wattage and preferences as to burnt mouth parts.
HOT CHOCOLATE NON-DAIRY
3/4 cup pure coconut milk 
1/4 cup water (If you use light coconut milk DO NOT ADD WATER.) 
1/2 tablespoon carob powder 
raw honey to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon) 
Combine coconut milk, water and carob powder. Blend with a wire whisk, heat on stove top or microwave. Add honey to taste. 
HOT CHOCOLATE 
3 cups instant nonfat dry milk
2 cups (12 oz) chocolate chips and 
1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows 
Whirl half the milk and half the chips in a food processor or blender until finely ground.  Take care not to grind past that or the mix will clump.  Do the same with the other halves of milk and chips, put everything in a bowl and stir in the marshmallows.  Package in an airtight container (can be stored up to 6 months).  When using, just mix to taste with boiling water. 

Vary the chips .... semisweet, milk, mint, malted milk chips and malted milk powder substitute for the milk or white chocolate.  You can use half peanut-butter or butterscotch chips.  You can add in flavorings like coffee powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, or orange peel.

Tips to avoid drinking alcohol

Here are some easy tips to not drink alcohol... Best of all to everyone!



Tips to Avoid Drinking


Here's How:
  1. If you are unsure if non-alcoholic beverages will be available, bring your own.
  2. Stay away from the bar area.
  3. If offered a drink, just say, 'No, thank you.' You do not have to explain.
  4. If there is food available, be sure to eat, so that you are not hungry.
  5. If you feel that you are becoming tempted to drink, leave early.
  6. Stay busy. Talk to others, dance, etc. 
  7. Don't give yourself time to think about the fact that you are not drinking.
  8. Don't drink, no matter what!

Tips:

  1. They will never know that you only have cola in your glass.
  2. Arrive late and leave early.
