This winter, I've become absolutely obsessed with making hot chocolate from dark chocolate shavings, not cocoa powder. (I blame my new-found snobbery on my in-laws, who gave my husband and me a bag of special cocoa chocolate for Christmas last year.) If it were as easy to throw together as powdered cocoa in a pouch, I'd probably drink fancy hot chocolate for desert every night! That's why I love this hot chocolate on a stick recipe from Kristi at 30 Pounds of Apples. She makes it incredibly easy to have rich, delicious hot cocoa on an instant-gratification timeline.

Enchiladas are one of my favorite meals, but like Laura of Eat! Craft! Live!, I can never get the rolling part quite right when making them at home. Her ingenious solution by making a layered enchilada casserole is something I'm going to put on our meal-planning rotation immediately. I love, too, that she shows how easy it is to modify the recipe to your tastes.
Yummy, yummy, yummy. Mark from Season With Spice shares with us a delicious recipe for a spicy honey chicken sandwich. After my new years resolution I might just toss the chicken in a salad, add a little flavor to my day.
I so wish this recipe for sparkly unicorn poop cookies had been around when I threw my daughters "Rainbows and Unicorns" birthday party a few years ago. Kristy Lynn, made these fabulously sparkle-filled cookies and details the how-to over on Instructables. Her commentary is hilarious, and I kinda want to hang out with her mom now.
