Warm Drinks for Chilly Days

December 7, 2012 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 4 Comments

Good morning! Happy Friday! 

I hope you have some relaxing plans for the weekend. Perhaps sitting down next to a roaring fire, with a book and a nice warm winter beverage.

Raspberry Hot Chocolate

In my world hot chocolate is like coffee, but not so for many, it is a beverage that is saved for chilly winter months, much like eggnog or mulled cider. 

Basil Mint Hot Chocolate

At this time of the year, the blogs, and magazines are filled with great ideas for warm drinks on chilly days. 

Gingerbread Hot Chocolate

Or any day for that matter.

Hot Spiced Cider

Aside from coffee, do you have a special drink that you whip up on the holidays? 

Dark Chocolate Latte

I would love to hear about it. If you would like to try some cocktails head over to a fabulous new blog that I found You May Be Wandering, Sandy has a feature each Thursday on cocktails. Last week she featured some delicious looking holiday cocktails from hotels around the country. 

If you would like to try some warm drinks the links are listed below.

    Hello Elizabeth

    All those drinks look delicious. Here in Florida, it is going to be close to 80 degrees today and Iced Tea and Lemonade are the drinks du jour.

    Have a wonderful weekend

    Hello dear friend!!
    How are you? Busy, getting ready for the festivities, I'm sure…
    But not too busy to savor these luscious hot chocolates,I hope!
    We are finally getting snow this weekend, so it may be a Minnesota December after all!
    Wishing you love, dearest Elizabeth…

Good morning friends! We’ve had a lazy start to Good morning friends! We’ve had a lazy start to the weekend, it was raining when we woke up and that did not inspire me to hop out of bed to work around the house or the yard. Now the sun is shining and I am feeling so relaxed I don’t want to go outside. I’ve been perusing Pinterest and Instagram and there is so much inspiration for Spring and summer. I want to repaint a few rooms in the house(even through I don’t like painting) I want to plant a huge garden and have a wildflower meadow, I’ve found at least 30 recipes to try and I want to order at least 10 dresses from various stores. I better rein myself in before I do some serious damage to my wallet. Tell me what are you doing this morning? If you are relaxing with a cup of coffee come over to the blog and check out all of my favorites from around the web this week. I have book recommendations, recipes, fashion finds and more. Have a happy Saturday. #saturdayvibes #saturdaymorning #saturday #weekendvibes #weekend #flowers #springdecor #spring #springstyle #cherryblossom

I hope that you are surrounded by love on this beautiful day, even if it is only by  the love of God which is the best love there is. Life is what we make it and we can be sad that another Easter finds us at home or we can enjoy it for what it is, a beautiful day, an Easter egg hunt for the dogs, a delicious Bear claw pastry that I made yesterday using a recipe from @sweet_things_by_lizzie_ on the @redstaryeast blog, time to rest, relax and rejuvenate. Oh and to eat lots of candy left by the Easter bunny, is 3 @reeses peanut butter eggs before breakfast too many, asking for a friend?

My eggs are dyed and ready, now I just need a few My eggs are dyed and ready, now I just need a few kids to hunt for them. I dyed my eggs this year with red cabbage and I love the colors. Next year I might branch out and try turmeric and coffee. Have you dyed any eggs? What did you use to dye them? Are you have a hunt? I loved hunting for Easter eggs as a child, we always has a huge hunt with eggs filled with candy and some with money. That was back when $5.00 was like winning the lottery. Am I dating myself? I hope you are enjoying your weekend. #easter #easterdecor #eastereggs #dyedeastereggs #naturallydyedeastereggs #blue #blueandwhiteforever #eggs #easterfun #eastermood #weekend #weekendvibes #food #provincial #countryliving #betterhomesandgardens

I’ve just finished dying my Easter eggs, I used the red cabbage method and they turned out beautiful!

If so please share. Have a great day! Happy Easter.
