If the bitter cold winter weather is getting you down, I’m hoping this video will help get you motivated and upbeat again. I’m going through 6 ideas to help boost motivation when the weather is too cold to be outside and cabin fever is setting in.

LInks and recipes from the video:

Crockpot Hot Cocoa Recipe:

1. Heat a cup of milk until hot, but not boiling, and then whisk in ¼ cup of unsweetened cocoa. Set that aside.
2. To the crockpot add: 5 cups of whole milk, 2 cups of heavy whipping cream, 14 ounces of sweetened condensed milk, 2 teaspoons vanilla, and 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Finally, pour in the cup of milk with the dissolved cocoa powder. Whisk well.
3. Turn the crockpot on low and whisk every few minutes as it heats up and the chocolate melts. After about 30 minutes, you can just go back and stir it every once in awhile and in about an hour and a half, or after it is hot and fully incorporated, it’s ready to serve. I just switch it over to keep warm at that point and then we can enjoy it for the afternoon!

Marshmallow Fluff Recipe:

1 cup hot water
3 T gelatin
1 cup of sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or powdered sugar)

1. Add gelatin to hot water to a stand mixer or bowl. Let sit 3 minutes.
2. Whisk on high using a stand mixer or hand mixer until well blended and it begins to thicken.
3. Add sweetener and then whisk on high until white and fluffy.

Enjoy!
