During the early part of April, we made some big changes to the garden. As some of you who read my blogs already know, I garden in garden boxes. We moved the boxes from up by the house to out by the greenhouse, yay!! It was a great decision to move them and to top it off we built some more boxes. It makes me so happy to have so much more space to grow stuff!!
Wanna know more about gardening in boxes? Just ask me, read my blog posts, keep checking for more posts to learn more as well

I’m that girl that LOVES chocolate milk! A glass before bed or even in the middle of the afternoon! I don’t eat breakfast it upsets my stomach to eat before like 10am, so I drink a big glass of chocolate milk. It fills me up and tastes great!! My kids have followed in my footsteps and also enjoy a glass with me every morning. Last night I realized we were almost out….. So I thought why run out to the store just for chocolate syrup? I’ll make some!! Here it is in all its deliciousness!!!!
It was so quick and simple and the house smelled amazing while I was making it!! I don’t know why I wasn’t doing this before!! You can bet I won’t be buying it anymore from the store!!! Here’s my recipe:
The kids and I think it’s better than store bought, which is saying something, I’ve sworn by my Hershey’s for years now!!
Have you ever made chocolate syrup? Please share your comments!
Happy making stuff people!!
My egg stock is quite full. Yay!! So tonight I wanted to fix French toast, we do a lot of breakfast for supper since we don’t eat breakfast, but, I didn’t have any syrup….. I have watched my grandma make syrup tons of times and ate it with her many times, I for some reason have never made it myself. We all know I’m that girl that likes to make anything she can so I decided tonight I was making syrup!!! Yippie! After looking through a few handfuls of recipes I made my decision and gave it a shot!
In a medium size saucepan I put:
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 1/2 white sugar
1cup water
1/2 tsp. moms homemade vanilla
& 2 cups light Karo syrup
I warmed it at a medium temperature and stirred it until it all melted together and was smooth, about 12 minutes. Then I let it cool while I made French toast and chewy bacon. I poured it in a wine bottle I had lying around waiting to be reused for something and served! Yummy! The kids and husband all approved!
It was so easy and fun to make! I don’t know why it took me so long to try it!!!
Have you ever had or made homemade syrup? Did you like it? How did you make it? Would you do anything different? I wana hear all about it! Leave me a comment!
Thanks and happy cooking!
