Hot chocolate is my absolute favorite cold-weather drink. I don’t drink coffee and things like tea, apple cider, eggnog, etc. definitely take a back seat to chocolate.

With some, it is important to remember that not all chocolate is created equal. Most store bought chocolate brands contain sugar or high fructose corn syrup and use soy lecithin as an emulsifier (here’s why we avoid soy). There are some out there, but they are pricey and use many of the same ingredients as homemade versions (usually with sugar…

Let’s say you take a long, schwetty bike ride. Or you finally do that Zumba class in all its awkward, pelvic thrusting glory. Or you complete a half mary. Or you lift weights like your name’s Xena. Or you pedal that elliptical so fast it’s like “dance like nobody’s watching, ” but you’re at the gym so, clearly, everyone’s watching. (Do work…
