Monthly Coffee with Riz

Hi Reader!

It's time for our monthly coffee date!

Grab a cup of coffee (or maybe your favourite chai?) and I'll give you a little rundown of things you may want to be aware of this coming month, as well as a quick update on what I've been up to.

What's been happening with me

January has been quietly unfolding here at Chocolates & Chai HQ, giving me time to focus on something we often overlook – the air we breathe. I've been struggling with my allergies this month, so I finally took the plunge and invested in an air purifier. Who knew clean air could make such a difference? (And yes, it really helps with those times when I accidentally burn the toast! 😅)

Aside from that I've been quietly at work preparing new recipes for you!

Comment of the Month

"My sons can’t get enough of this. They’ve asked me to make it three times already in 2025!" - A happy mom on Macarona Bechamel

Coming up in February

Love is in the air, bestie. I shared a Chocolate Pancakes recipe just a few days ago, but I've got one more Valentine's Day recipe coming up. It's the kind of recipe that might just get you a new ring! 😉

February 14th: Valentine's Day (May the odds be forever in your favor)

February 28th: Ramadan begins.

All month: National Bake for Family Fun Month

If you're interested in breathing easier while cooking, I've been loving my new Mila Air Purifier (affiliate link). It's honestly more expensive (I got it on sale! 😅) than your standard air purifier, but it's pretty and has smart functionality, which I love! It's been a game-changer for keeping my allergies and cooking odors under control!

And now it's your turn to hit REPLY and let me know what's happening in your life.

See you next month!
