Too Much Mousse
I hope your Sunday is treating you well! We’ve had a good morning! The chocolate mousse for tonight needed to chill for at least two hours, so after breakfast, I got started on that (delicious) task. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s to come:
Mmmmm…I’m really excited about this dessert! Julia Child wasn’t messing around with this recipe! We actually had a TON of mousse, so I put some in a bowl and we delivered it to our friends (and neighbors) Lee and Steve as a sweet Valentine’s Day surprise. I think they were excited!
After my adventures in Mousse-land, I got a quick workout in (gotta burn some calories so that I can get my mousse on without guilt later tonight). I picked up a new 10 minute solutions DVD yesterday at Best Buy that I was excited to try:
I really like these 10 minute solution workouts! I already have the abs one, and it is killer! I like it that each segment is only (duh) 10 minutes, because it makes it easy to alternate cardio on the treadmill with toning/strength. And, let me tell you, that little band really makes a difference— I did the tummy toner segment and the butt segment, and my muscles were burning!
After my workout, I had a light lunch. After our large breakfast, I wasn’t too hungry, plus I want to be sure to save room for tonight!
Egg salad + yogurt + blueberries.
I sure have been on an egg salad kick lately, haven’t I? Do you ever do that? I won’t eat something for months, and then suddenly I’ll have it everyday for like a month. Strange.
Well, I’m going to try to get a little work done before we start on dinner. Have a great day, everyone!
Yum! You’re making me want egg salad… better yet, deviled eggs.
Happy Vday!
MMM I love chocolate mousse!!!
My friend at work brought egg salad the other day and I’ve been hankering for it ever since!
Happy Valentine’s Day Anna!!!
Hope you guys are having a great Valentine’s Day!
I cannot wait for this dessert!
Wow, this looks great. I really need to get in a workout tomorrow — way too much V-day candy for me.
No such thing as too much mousse – just saying
Do you think you are on the egg salad kick because you didn’t eat eggs for a month? I used to want that all the time too
I can’t wait to see the mousse finished product! I’ve heard a lot of good things about the 10 min solutions DVDs. I do like the idea of 10 minute segments that focus on one muscle group. There are so many strength training exercises. Sometimes I feel like I could strength train all day long and not know where I’ve done enough!
Chocolate Mousse!! I wish i could eat your leftovers!
I definitely go through food stages! The past month it’s been hummus/cheese wraps/sandwiches… now I’ve discovered Annie’s Naturals Buttermilk dressing and have had salad 3 days in a row! I’m obsessed!
