Video: Secret-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse
Originally posted in 2010, I thought it was time to share a video demonstrating how easy it is to make this addictive, clean-eating dessert!
Everything written below, is what I had to say back in 2010. The video however, was shot last week;).
What could be better than a rich, creamy, decadent Chocolate Mousse you ask??
Let me tell you…
Dark Chocolate Covered Pomegranate Drops
My apologies for being so MIA the last couple of weeks. We have been shooting lots of videos for the New Year and I was preparing the family to head back East for the next few weeks. That paired with x-mas cards and holiday shopping and you’ve got a girl that’s been fairly ‘offline’…
Clean Eating Individual Apple Crisps
Fall is in the air and what better way to welcome this cool, brisk, colorful season than with a sweet, warm, ooey, gooey, apple crisp?!
But as we all know, too much of a good thing is simply too much, so I thought I would encourage the practice of moderation by making this crisp into individual sized portions. This way I could enjoy a little seasonal, sweet treat without over indulging (which I have been known to do when presented with warm fruit desserts!).
Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of things one can do with rhubarb other than mixing it with something sweet, like strawberries or apples, to balance out it’s natural tartness.
I once tried to incorporate rhubarb into a lentil dish based on a recipe by Mark Bittman and am sad to report that it was a big fat flop (in defense of Mark I did stray from the recipe and take full blame for the outcome)! So this time I wanted to travel a more familiar road with my rhubarb, something a little more tried and true.
Double Chocolate ‘Cola’ Cupcakes
I was planning to share this recipe for Valentine’s day but when I read that today was National Chocolate Cake Day I suddenly realized that I needed to take action ASAP. So I hurried Katie down for her nap so I could share this recipe before National Chocolate Cake day was over!
But before you read on, allow me to fully disclose that the actual cake mix is from a box making this an extra easy recipe to whip up. And yes, you read correctly when you saw the word ‘Cola’ in the title!
Here’s the deal…
Gluten-Free Pear Snack Cake
This cake was inspired by the ingenious Elana from Elana’s Pantry.
Elana has a magical ability to create just about any baked good you can imagine sans the flour (although she doesn’t stop at baked goods!).
Her secret?!…
Video: Roasted Apricot Crunch w/ Vanilla Yogurt Cream
Now I’m not bragging… but the truth is that I don’t like to watch the news and I very rarely read the newspaper.
What can I say, I’m a sensitive kind of gal and more times than not the news leaves me with thoughts and images in my mind that I find I am better off without!
Enter my husband…
“Lower-Cal” Chocolate Walnut Cookies
I’ll be the first to say that a cookie is a cookie and if your looking for the nutritional profile of a bowl of cabbage soup then by all means DON”T MAKE COOKIES!
I mean c’mon, a cookie is a sweet.
It’s a treat.
It’s an indulgence…
Peach and Raspberry Crisp
If I had to pick my favorite dessert in the whole wide world it would have to be ANY form of warm fruit CRISP topped with vanilla ice-cream.
Notice I didn’t say slump, crumble, or cobbler… for me, it has-to-be THE CRISP.
Better than Banana Ice Cream
This is one of the most amazing little culinary tricks that I’ve learned yet. Simply genius.
I just couldn’t wait to share it with you guys…
