You're Welcome.

I am a former chocolate fiend. Actually, I am a former sweets fiend. But I have kicked my sugar habit (with a little help from my pal, Stevia.), and as a result have lost 14 pounds and counting (I'll do a weight loss post sometime soon!). I no longer have super cravings or feel like I could commit crimes if I had to to get some chocolate :) But it makes me happy when I find recipes like this one and find out that I can still enjoy sweetness sometimes with no guilt and no pain (I'll go into that too in another post :).

So! Here is the simplest, yummiest, guilt-free Caramel Chocolate Mousse you've ever had! Enjoy!!!


3/4 Cup   2% Cottage Cheese
1 Tbsp     Cocoa Powder
1/8 Tsp    Caramel Flavoring
Stevia to taste


In a food processor (or in a bowl, using an immersion blender) combine all ingredients except stevia and blend until smooth. Then add a only a bit of stevia at a time until you've reached your preferred level of sweetness. Pair with your favorite chocolate friendly fruit!

** If you're not crazy about caramel you could also add a bit of vanilla in place of the caramel flavoring instead for a basic chocolate mousse. Or experiment with other flavors. I've just ordered cheesecake flavoring, eggnog flavoring and bacon flavoring from THIS website!!!!!

Maple Crepes with Wild Blueberries and Maple Whipped Cream

This is one of the most delicious, easiest, quickest and most painless breakfasts to make, and what I've eaten for nearly every meal this week.... It's also gluten-free, low carb and entirely sugar free.
As usual, click on the photo for the soundtrack to this recipe ;)

*These Ingredients + butter for frying*

*Whisk all ingredients together*

*Heat griddle to 320, add 1/2 tbs butter, then 1/6 of the batter*

*Flip when there is only a small pool of batter in the center, then wait about 30 seconds and remove from griddle*

Now, I didn't photograph the whipped cream process because it became chaos. Whipped cream everywhere. If you use the proper sort of bowl, however (one with high walls), you won't end up with whipped cream on the ceiling and in your hair.

*Whipped Cream*
Pour 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1/2 tsp Maple flavor, and 1/4 tsp stevia in a bowl (WITH HIGH WALLS!!!!) and beat on high until fluffy.

Add a bit of the whipped cream and 1/4 cup of blueberries (wild are best!) to your crepes and Bon Appetit!
