You see, I sip on my hot cocoa while I plan my weekly menu or dessert ideas. So naturally, my friend Ashton’s cookbook is a favorite in my home. As well as Mary’s cookbook because I am always in need of dinner ideas. Rebecca has the best salsa recipe and Haley’s book has everything we love… desserts. Then you have the best idea for a cookbook ever with Dorothy’s. I have talented friends.

Notes
This sounds so amazing. I’m new to your page, I’m about to make your Queso dip for taco Tuesday dinner tonight, and I’ve been wanting some good hot chocolate. Will this be okay to do over the stove too? Or is it best to do it in a slow cooker? Thank you!
You can easily do this on the stove-top and happy to have you here. San
