Pumpkin Hot Chocolate

What better way to warm up this fall and winter, than with a cup of creamy pumpkin hot chocolate??

Pumpkin Hot Choc

I had mixed feelings about this pumpkin hot chocolate when I first decided to make it. On the one hand, I love pumpkin and chocolate together; but on the other hand….did I really want to mess with the traditional hot chocolate that I adore? Then I remembered how much I love peppermint and raspberry hot chocolate and my momentary thoughts of being a hot chocolate purist went right out the window.

I then promptly began making the pumpkin hot chocolate. Now, I know you may be thinking…it’s still 90 degrees in Texas (and many other places) – WHY would you make hot chocolate right now? Because, my friends – it won’t be hot for too much longer, and you need to have the recipe in your hands before the cold gets here (there!)

I seriously can not wait for the cooler weather to get here so that I can make this again, and actually enjoy the warming effects that hot chocolate always has. It was delicious and creamy and perfect, even in still-warm temps, so I can only imagine how amazing it will be in a few weeks. And that, my friends, is why I’m sharing it with you now!

    A great alternative to regular hot cocoa or hot apple cider when sitting around a campfire.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
