Who said necessity breeds innovation?

Here in my home
I would say its laziness.
Because we now make our hot cocoa in a mason jar.
Nay, an old spaghetti sauce jar (that I think my mom gave us salsa in).


WHY you may ask.
Because then I can make enough for {TWO} cups at once. .
& I don’t have to bother with the silly [spoon/fork] while mixing.
And there are never any clumps of that delicious hot cocoa powder being wasted.

That’s right. I simply fill it with HOT water. Throw in the mix. Screw on the top and SHAKE.

So there you have it.If you ever come of for hot cocoa & cookies. 
This is how it will be made.

  1. You are my kind of lady! Do you know what else I use mason jars for...or any other reused glass jar I have hidding....I save my bacon grease in them! Yup! My mason jar is almost completely full of bacon grease. I put it in the frig when I'm done with it so I can use it whenever I want.

    I found you through SITS!

  7. Hey - you were above me in the SITS roll call this Saturday. I think the mason jar is brilliant! Shaking is always better than stirring anyway.

  8. I wish the Mason jars at my house had cocoa in them...instead they are filled with my husband's homemade kefir. Yeah, we're that kind of a family. Thanks for stopping by my blog...sounds like you've had quite a journey so far!
