What better way to escape the cold than a nice cup of hot chocolate. Better yet, a spicy hot chocolate. We took the liberty of adding some thai chilies to your basic hot chocolate to give it some extra kick. Ok, so its not the type of beverage you would give to your children but sometimes you just got to treat yourself. And if that wasn’t self indulgent enough, we put together an easy coconut marshmallow recipe to have along side  your spicy blend. You survived the holiday’s thus far, you deserve this.

So we’re pretty sure that everyone (especially Santa) is sick and tired of the same old chocolate chip cookies around the holidays, so why not try something a little different. We took an amazing short bread recipe from Ad-Hoc at Home, tweaked it ever so slightly and came up with this adaptation. Its goes well with a nice cup of hot chocolate, a cappuccino and even great on its own. Enjoy.

Here’s a simple grilled Tilapia recipe for those of you that are tired of salmon and tuna. Tilapia isn’t as easy to find but its definitely worth the search if you come across it.
