Birthday Break!

In the middle of exams it was time to take a break and celebrate! Happy Birthday to a dear friend! 

Went out for lunch...as tempting as it was to have oven cooked pizza...a friend and I shared some healthy plates! 

The birthday girl! 

Our starter: Veggies and Hummus! Delicious!

Main course: Salmon and salad! :D

Here are some other yummy plates ordered by friends:

Gambas al Pil Pil

Quesadillas... Of course only with cheese! A big discussion came up about REAL quesadillas should have. Only cheese of course! 

& of course a little cake for the celebrated friend! 

After lunch... The fun didn't stop! Headed home to "study" a bit more and whip up another birthday cake! This one: a giant cookie cake! 

This one I had to try... Was delicious with the crunchy (not burnt) top and gooey middle! YUM! 

Make a wish!

Happy birthday Leila!

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:
