Sweet Tooth Satisfied- Warm Chocolate Pudding

How does warm chocolate pudding topped with whip cream sound right now? I know, right! It sounds perfect. I love the taste of the warm, creamy, chocolaty pudding.

Now I know that a box of pudding is quick and easy to make but by spending just a little extra time mixing all of these ingredients together you can control the sugar and calorie content.

Pour 1 1/2 cups of milk, 1/3 sugar, and salt in to medium saucepan. Bring to a boil.

Meanwhile in another bowl mix cocoa power the rest of sugar and milk and cornstarch. Then add this mixture in with the boiling mixture.IMAG0388  IMAG0389

Boil until thick then take off the heat. Add your vanilla. Let it cool for a couple minutes and enjoy with a spoon full of whip cream.

  • 1 large egg
  • 2 1/4 cups nonfat milk
  • 2/3 cup sugar, divided
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

  1. Lightly beat egg with a fork in a medium bowl.
  2. Combine 1 1/2 cups milk, 1/3 cup sugar and salt in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1/3 cup sugar, cocoa and cornstarch in a medium bowl. Whisk in the remaining 3/4 cup milk until blended. Whisk the simmering milk mixture into the cocoa mixture. Pour the mixture back into the pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat.
  4. Whisk about 1 cup of the cocoa mixture into the beaten egg. Return the egg mixture to the pan and cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until steaming and thickened. (Do not boil.) Whisk in vanilla. Serve warm.

I hope you all are having a wonderful Saturday afternoon. It’s beautiful outside! Kyle and I spent the morning passing out flyers in the neighborhood around the AR Dream Center to advertise our kickball tournament next weekend. We invited all the kids over to join in the fun next weekend. I can’t wait to see all the kids kicking around the big red ball and having a blast.

See you soon!

Soba Lo Mein

Is everyone ready for all the snow they say we are going to get tomorrow?  I hope this is the last of it. I’m ready for Spring! Flowers, bike riding, and walks in the park! Tonight I decided to use the Soba noodles I bought back when I couldn’t eat gluten. Soba noodles are made with 100% buckwheat flour and are gluten free. I’ve never tried them but I thought they would taste more like whole wheat noodles which I love. I decided to use my Chicken Lo Mein recipe without the chicken and with Soba instead of whole wheat. They didn’t taste quite like whole wheat noodles. They had the same texture but a really odd after taste. I think I stick to whole wheat from now on. You can make this Lo Mein with whatever noodles you prefer. The peanut sauce mixed with the soy sauce is so good!! I used the following ingredients.   I started out by sautéing some onions and a garlic clove in 2 tablespoons of toasted Asian sesame dressing. While you are cooking your noodles add in the ve...

I love Almond Butter

Hello again! It’s been a busy day for me today but it’s been a good food day. ;) The blender worked out a little better for me this morning. I guess it just needed a little using before I got used to it. I started today with an Energy Smoothie. It was really good. It was my first time trying the spice Cardamom. Energy Smoothie ½ C Almond Butter 1 Teaspoon Ground Cardamom 1 ½ C water 1 C Frozen Peaches 1 to 2 Teaspoons of Agave ½ C Ice I cut this recipe in half. The Cardamom was pretty noticeable. It’s hard to describe but it was a little like cinnamon. I loved the Almond butter. I tried a new brand this time. It was very creaming right out of the refrigerator. I drank most of the smoothie on my way to work. I was pretty hungry when I woke up this morning.  Lacey enjoyed the Mango Smoothe today. Isn't she cute! I had a cup of hot green tea about 8:30. It hit the spot! The smoothie held me over till about 11. When lunch time came around I was hungry. I had to take a quick lunch...

Chili For a Chilly Day

Burrrr it’s cold tonight! It seems like I was cold all day until I had a warm bowl of chili. Nothing can warm you up better! We had more snow today! I can’t believe all this snow that we’ve been getting. I love how pretty it is but I don’t like how everything just shuts down. I went to the grocery store this afternoon and it was a nightmare. I got all the things I needed and stood in line for about 10 min until realized that the hamburger meat I had in my buggy had a big tear in it. I had to go get another one and get in the back of the line. I just read about all the magazines they had standing in line. Did you know that Charlie Sheen is in rehab?And Justin Beiber is taking over the world?  This is not any kind of special recipe. It's the chili recipe I grew up on. It starts with a chili seasoning packet and its never the same every time I make it. Start by browning your meat. Try to get very lean meat so you don’t’ have to drain it. Chop and dice a 1/2 of an onion and  s...
