Biking and a Hot Chocolate Recipe

Today was a good day, talked with a close friend, when to church (sermon was on parenting, so not so much geared towards my single, kidless self), then when on a lovely 21 mile bike ride at Flatwoods Wildness Park. I did the 15 mile off-road trail and 6 miles on pavement to get to and from the trail. It was great fun, sometimes while riding really fast I just have to laugh because I'm having so much fun and feel so free. Anyone else do that too?

Afterwards, I returned home and fixed some veggie fried rice with some leftover brown rice and frozen veggies. It was pretty tasty and healthy. It would have been yummier with some shrimp, but I don't have any hanging around my freezer right now.

So for the recipe:

Dulce de Leche Hot Chocolate - makes about 1 large serving to 2 small

(this is an estimated recipe since I didn't measure while creating this)
1 tbs cocoa power
1-2 tbs sugar (depends on how sweet you like your cocoa)
1 tbs water
1 1/2 dulce de leche
about 1 1/2 cup of milk

Mix the cocoa and sugar together until all the little balls of cocoa power have been broken up, then add the water and mix, stir over med heat until everything is combined, then add the ducle de leche. keep stirring until the ducle is combined or mostly combined (I couldn't quite get all of mine mix in), then add the milk. Keep stirring until its the temp you prefer. Taste and add more sugar if needed.

Enjoy!
