Easy, simple, chocolate pudding… to die for

The food manufacturers have convinced us that fast and easy pudding has to come out of a box.  This home made recipe is just as fast, pure in ingredients and a keeper (my kids gave it a huge thumbs up and they’re my biggest critics). 

Jello-Cook-and-Serve-Chocolate-Pudding3-500x421

   1 Lindt bar dark chocolate (3oz) (I use 85% dark chocolate)

   3 cups of your favorite milk (I use Unsweetened Almond Milk)

   1 tsp vanilla extract

   3Tbl Gluten free Cornstarch

                                          Stevia

Melt the chocolate bar and 21/2 cups of milk in a pot.  On the side, whisk the remaining 1/2 cup of milk and cornstarch in a cup and pour into the pot.  Add 6 drops of stevia.  When the chocolate mixture boils, turn it off.  Pour your pudding into individual cups or into the simple almond meal crust below for a pudding pie .  It’s delish. Enjoy.

Be well,

Treat your little Valentines with healthy love ideas.

Better last minute than not, right?  I have so much to update all of you on about all the neat things I’ve learned in the past few weeks on health and wellness, but before I do I wanted to share some last minute Valentine day ideas.  A friend of mine, Dr. Shanna Bissonette shared this idea with me today about replacing a sugar-free Valentine with a glow stick.  Clever and I thought worth sharing.

How about a little treat for the morning of Valentine’s Day : Heart Shaped Pancakes.  This video shows how the chefs mixed their favorite pancake mix (gluten free, paleo, whole grain, etc) inside the bag.  Then cutting the tip of the plastic bag allows the cook to ‘draw’ a heart shape with the batter on the pan (be sure to fill in the heart as well).  Cute and fun.   You can watch the brief video here

Enjoy and Be well,
