Baby, It's Cold Outside

8:00 AM

This week Mother Nature dropped an arctic blast on St. Louis (as well as a majority of the northeastern part of the country), which included 10+ inches of snow and temperatures in the negatives.  Monday the high was literally -1 with wind chills in the -20s.  It's times like this that I'm thankful I don't have to get out and go to work. 

It wasn't all bad.  We had a warm house, lots of groceries, and no reason to brave the frigid temperatures (except Jason had to go to work, poor guy). 



 



On Sunday morning I made chocolate gravy.  Every time is snows, I always make chocolate gravy.  Since moving to St. Louis, I was surprised to know how many people here had never heard of chocolate gravy.

Chocolate Gravy

Ingredients
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 stick of butter

What To Do
Mix the sugar, cocoa, and flour together in a saucepan with a whisk.  Slowly whisk in the milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly.  Remove the pan from the heat when the mixture is thick like pudding.  Add the butter and vanilla and stir until completely melted.  Serve over biscuits.

 


So good on a cold day!  Happy "Polar Vortex" Week!  Stay warm!
