Christmas is a week away and I’m about half way finished with holiday shopping for everyone on my list.  Everything I’ve purchased so far has been bought online in the comfort of my own home. I was feeling like a total grinch because I had not set foot inside a store, listened to one single Christmas carol, hung a single ornament on a tree or worn an ugly holiday sweater. Today was the day I would let the sun and cool breeze kiss my face.  I headed over to the mall to finish checking off my list like the good ‘ol pre Amazon Prime days.

After 45 minutes of circling the massive mall parking lot, navigating my way through thousands of people and not buying one single gift, I headed back home and made churros.  Yes, churros.

My weekend excursion wasn’t a complete waste.  I was inspired to go home and do what makes me happy.  I tied my apron on, searched for a churro recipe on ViveMejor.com and got to work on one of my favorite Mexican desserts with Country Crock® Spread.

My shopping trauma therapy didn’t end there.  I decided to make a spicy sipping chocolate to accompany the churros.  Sipping chocolate is rich, thick and amazingly delicious.  The beverage is so thick, it can actually be used as a chocolatey dipping sauce for the churros as well.

I was in the mood to just sit, relax and enjoy churros with spicy sipping chocolate as I completed my holiday shopping online. It was the best decision I made today.
