Since it has gotten colder out, I thought that I would post some great warm drink recipes for you to try. Hope you find one you like!
Pumpkin Spice Latte (I also may have to check out the blog it came from to see if there are any other yummy recipes that need to be taste tested. A meal from a crockpot is always nice and easy for me.)
Homemade Vanilla Chia Tea (There is also some great blogs from this page!)

2 cups milk (skim or 2%)
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Bring half and half and milk to a boil over medium-high heat; add white chocolate and sugar, stirring until morsels melt. Stir in vanilla. Garnish, if desired.
