Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by Recipes From The Heart Of Your Home. Don't forget to check out the Christian resources we have linked to on the left of the page. I am a Christian wife and mother, doing my best to take care of my family and be a good steward of the wonderful blessings God has given us. I enjoy cooking for my family and doing it unto God for His glory. I love to cook from scratch when it's affordable and not too time-consuming and I especially love to bake. Lots of family and friends ask for my recipes so I've decided to put them on a blog so they can get them or anyone else who wants them. I think you can make good quality, good tasting food at a fraction of the ready-made price and it doesn't have to break your budget. Please let me know how these recipes turn out. They're our family's favorites. I'll be updating this blog as often as I can. Enjoy and God bless!

Hot Vanilla - A Hot Chocolate Alternative




I love all things vanilla and when I heard of a hot vanilla instead of a hot chocolate, I just had to give it a try. I tried it without the chocolate cream topping just because it was quicker and cheaper to make, but I'm sure it would be even better with the chocolate cream. This is a great cold-weather treat and is sure to be a favorite with the kids.

Hot Vanilla

1/2 cup of whipping cream
1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup
Dash of cinnamon


1 cup of milk (per hot vanilla)
2 teaspoons of sugar (per hot vanilla) (I used about 3 teaspoons)
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (per hot vanilla) (I used almost 3/4 to 1 teaspoon)

1. Start with the topping. In a medium bowl, whip 1/2 cup of whipping cream until it's frothy. Add 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup and a dash of cinnamon, then continue to whip the mixture until everything is well blended and peaks form. Makes enough to top about 6 drinks.

2. For each hot vanilla, microwave 1 cup of milk and 2 teaspoons of sugar in a mug for 90 seconds. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Top with a dollop of chocolate cream, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and a dash of cinnamon.

Are you a good person?
