Healthier Chocolate Milk

When your child starts going to school, it is inevitable that they would be exposed to food and drinks less healthy than what you would want for her.  For Miss Kiki, chocolate milk falls into that category. Or any other coloured milk. Most of these milk are packed with artificial flavours, artificial colours, or at least an enormous amount of sugar - way more than a child needs.

Luckily for me, Miss Kiki can be reasoned with. I explained to her why those little boxed sweet liquid are not good for her and that I would make her a better one. So I did, and she loved it. She said that it was better that the others. You can try it for yourselves!

All you need is cocoa powder, honey, and fresh milk. 


Approximately
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 cup milk
If your milk is cold, it can be tricky to mix in the cocoa powder. But if you want cold chocolate milk, it doesn't make sense to warm it up and chill it again... so what I did was.....
  • Get a drinking cup (the one you will use to drink the milk).
  • Put cocoa powder and honey in.
  • Stir well
  • Pour 1/3 of the milk in
  • Stir well
  • Pour the rest of the milk in
  • Stir and serve.
This makes a very chocolatey and sweet chocolate milk. If you like less flavour or less sweetness, adjust recipe accordingly.

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...

Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 7 - Otaru Sakaimachi

On our second day in Otaru after we had breakfast and ice cream , we continued walking to Sakaimachi. This shopping street is one of the busiest in the city and is where a lot of Otaru attraction is located. In front of one of the stores there, we saw this cute dog wearing a Minion outfit. Of course Miss Kiki jumped and squealed and asked if she could pet it. We asked permission from the owner to take a picture with it. Along the street they have rock statues in the shape of famous characters like Anpanman and Mickey Mouse. With Anpanman It was a very nice day, we were able to walk around and had fun without feeling cold even though there were a lot of ice and snow. Check out the platforms they set up on the hill. We think that it's to prevent snow slides... Most of the buildings there were old style,,,  Many shops sell fresh seafood and they would cook it for you by order. As we walked past a souvenir shop, we saw a poster for these snowball make...
