Happy National Hot Chocolate Day!
This double chocolate Red Velvet Hot Cocoa is perfect for upcoming Valentine’s Day!
Traditionally red velvet has buttermilk and vinegar in the ingredients however, I decided to skip those in favor of two types of chocolate along with a light and fluffy cream cheese whipped cream on top. 
 It is rich and decadent and when topped with the homemade cream cheese whipped cream, 
this recipe will surely delight your chocolate loving Valentine!

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear

🌟I had to step out of my comfort zone today and attend my first networking event since moving to Arkansas. I already  struggle with meeting new people and being social since I work from home but now I live in a new city and know no one. Thank goodness I found @winnwa . The networking lunch today at @bonefishgrill was exciting, encouraging, and of course, fun! Over 80 local business women attended and everyone had a chance to introduce themselves and share what they do. I look forward to more  #womeninnetworking events in the future. Hoping to make some new friends too!
➡️ Swipe to see what I left with..... Bang Bang Shrimp, of course!🦐 #winnwa #smallbusinessowner #workfromhome #bloggerlife #arkansasblogger #nwarkansas #bonefishgrill #networking
