When I was young, I loved to play in the snow.  My sister and I would play for hours making snowmen and snow forts and having snow ball fights!  The best part was coming inside to get warm with a mug of Hot Chocolate and fresh from the oven Chocolate Chip Cookies!

When my kiddos were little we’d have to make deals about how many times they could come in and out during snowman building, it seemed like we’d just get them bundled up and then they’d be back inside and then outside- and it would go on for hours.  So the deal was, I’d make cookies if they’d play outside until the first batch came out of the oven!

Truvia Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is one of our favorite cookie recipes!

Making them with the new Truvia Brown Sugar Baking Blend is an added bonus… same great flavor without all the calories of “normal” sugars! YAY!

We’ve had a very mild winter this year- in fact it’s 70 degrees right now while I’m sitting out on the back deck writing this post.  Very strange indeed for Northern Utah weather.  But all of you in the North Eastern states will be drinking hot chocolate like it’s going out of style these days!  You’re getting all the snow this year.  My son is feeling a little gipped, he thinks our slopes are a bore without good snow.

I hope you’re week is going well!  I’m staying busy with my internship, online class, and life but it’s all good cuz I graduate in just about 2 months 🙂

Happy Wednesday!

Much Love and Peace~
