Fun and Low-Calorie Dessert!

To start my yummy recipe and healthy-choices blog, I thought we'd start with something everyone loves....DESSERT!!!

All you need is whipping cream, artificial sweetener and cocoa to make this recipe for Low Carb Chocolate Mousse found in the Home and Garden Low-Carb Recipe Book.


INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup heavy or whipping cream
4 teaspoons artificial sweetener (splenda works great!)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
Optional: spray can real whipped cream

PREPARATION:
Put all ingredients, in order, in a blender. Blend and eat. For that special touch, spoon into a crystal wine glass and top with a small squirt of spray can whipped cream and a sprinkling of cocoa powder. This is one serving.

If you are counting calories, count the calories on the whipped cream amount.

Super Easy, Yummy and Healthy! Along with every recipe I plan to put in a little tip to make healthy eating a little easier when you are making your own day-to-day choices.

***Tip for Healthy Eating***
The trick to healthy eating is to stock your kitchen for low-carb, low-calorie eating. If you can stop yourself from buying that amazingly yummy, glossy bag of chips from the grocery store you will not have the temptation to eat them later.

If you are currently dieting go to your pantry and cabinets and throw away any edibles that enough you to stay. You'll thank yourself later, I promise!! If you don't like the idea of wasting a bunch of food put all that "junk food" in a box and drop it off at a food drive or Sister Carmen on the way to work tomorrow morning!

The things you should always have in stock are things like lean means, fish, eggs and a type of poultry is always good (like chicken). Buy fresh salad greens and low-carb veggies. For conveniences, wash anjd store the greens as soon as you get from the store. It will make it much easier on yourself and your schedule later when you go to cook. Always keep a variety of sugar free spices, herbs and condiments available.
