Father's Day BBQ

BBQ... More like HOMEMADE PIZZA on the GRILL! 

I haven't posted in awhile... :/ but here is a quick update: I am on VACATION & spending this week with my cousins in the states! Along with me they love to shop and eat HEALTHY! 

Seeing as today was Father's Day in America we decided to take the traditional summer barbecue and give it a little twist! 

Here is what we used: 

For pizza base:

- Store bought dough (we bought 2 balls of dough and split it between the 5 of us...) it was plenty! 

 

For pizza toppings:

- pepperoni

- tomatoes (red & yellow)

- mozzarella shredded cheese 

- feta cheese 

- jalapeños 

- peppers

- onions 

Etc... Get creative!

And of course our secret weapon... Adding a great crunch and taste...

The "kamado grill" ;) 

Here's how they turned out:

Just because it is pizza doesn't mean it's not healthy! 

Enjoy!!

Good Morning!

Good Morning to all! I haven't written much this week...but with exams it has been tough to get creative in the kitchen! 

Soon I will be posting some lunch inspiration, but for now a healthy breakfast to start the day: 

Oatmeal with 1 banana and a handful of blueberries! I always add cinnamon for extra flavour! Enjoy your Friday! 

Chocolate Mousse

TGIF! 

Need a dessert for tonight or the coming weekend? 

I have discovered a 2 ingredient CHOCOLATE MOUSSE!

Time to make: 10 minutes!

What you will need:

250 g DARK 70% Cacao Chocolate

1 cup of water

Directions:

- Break chocolate bar into pieces {DON'T EAT THEM! You need them!}

- Mix both the water and chocolate into pot over high heat {be careful chocolate burns FAST!}

*** Meanwhile chill a large bowl in the freezer ***

{some recipes suggest you cool it over an ice bucket, but this is quicker! Faster the mousse is ready... the sooner you get to indulge!}

- Once the chocolate is melted, pour into the chilled bowl and whisk until thick

{If this is your first time the chocolate may seem to look grainy, place back over heat and melt a bit more...whisk again} 

- Once the mousse is nice and thick - serve or place in fridge to cool it off.

INDULGE & ENJOY!!!

{depending on what country you live in... chocolate ESPECIALLY for desserts (easily melted) can be found in your local supermarket!} 

{fight the temptation... I know it's hard!}

{place in fridge for cooling! Enjoy!}

It is DELICIOUS!!!! 

...In a perfect world, your mousse will look like this:
