Spicy hot chocolate for the rainy days

Make your spicy hot chocolate this rainy season! Sprinkle cayenne pepper into hot chocolate and you’ve got yourself a comforting drink with a little kick.

Spicy hot chocolate – comfort with a kick

Thanks to Chrissie of Kitchen Cow for this awesome tip. September has been quite grey and dreary, and hot chocolate has made its appearance more than once during snack time. Spicy hot chocolate is a fun twist to the usual comforting experience a mug of hot chocolate brings. I love the extra warmth and zing the cayenne brings!

In other news, I missed blogging! I was absent from my blog for 10 days. The workload just ate all my writing time up. Work’s still crazy busy (a blessing really!), but I’ll try to squeeze in blogging time each night from now on. That’s a tall order, but I need to write for my own sanity too. Not getting to write at all the past week has made me a little nuts. I NEED to write a little each day, and not getting to do that recently was tough. Can you relate?

I’ve got so much to share too! There’s the Ultimate Taste Test, some Manila Book Fair reflections, a few recipes we’ve tried at home… so many stories, so little time.

How have YOU been?! Come, have a mug of spicy hot chocolate and let me know what I’ve missed the past week! Let’s catch up.

Hi! I'm Toni Tiu, and I've been blogging at at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.
