HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

We would like to wish ALL the mothers out there a very happy Mother’s Day, whether you are a past, present or soon to be moms.

May your day be filled with love, joy and laughter!

You were there…

You were there when we took our first steps and went unsteadily across the floor. You pushed and prodded: encouraged and guided. Until our steps took us out the door… You worry now “Are they ok?” Is there more you could have done? As we walk the paths of our unknown You wonder “Where have my children gone?” Where we are is where you have led us, With your special love you showed us a way, To believe in ourselves and the decisions we make. Taking on the challenge of life day-to-day. And where we go you can be sure, In spirit you shall never be alone. For where you are is what matters most to us, Because to us that will always be home…

EASY COTTAGE CHEESE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

1 CUP COTTAGE CHEESE,
2 TABLESPOONS UNSWEETENED COCOA POWDER,
3 TEASPOONS MAPLE SYRUP OR HONEY,
1 TEASPOON PURE VANILLA EXTRACT

BLEND MOUSSE: PLACE ALL INGREDIENTS IN A HIGH-SPEED BLENDER. BLEND FOR 30 SECONDS, SCRAPE DOWN THE SIDES, ADD MORE MAPLE SYRUP IF NEEDED, AND BLEND ANOTHER FEW SECONDS (OR 2 MINUTES IF USING A DIFFERENT BLENDER) UNTIL COTTAGE CHEESE MIXTURE IS SMOOTH AND CREAMY. IF YOU LIKE, EXPERIMENT WITH FLAVORINGS.

FOR A THICKER MOUSSE WITH ADDED FIBER, ADD 1 TABLESPOON OF CHIA SEEDS OR FLAX SEEDS WHILE BLENDING THE MOUSSE. YOU WON’T TASTE THEM. THIS CAN HELP IF YOUR COTTAGE CHEESE IS A BIT LIQUID-Y.

1 CUP COTTAGE CHEESE, 2 TABLESPOONS UNSWEETENED COCOA POWDER, 3 TEASPOONS MAPLE SYRUP OR HONEY, 1 TEASPOON PURE VANILLA EXTRACT

SERVE OR CHILL & SERVE: POUR MOUSSE INTO A SMALL BOWL OR PORTION IT INTO SERVING CUPS (E.G. 1/4 CUP / 59 ML OR 1/2 CUP / 118 ML). YOU CAN EAT IT RIGHT AWAY WITH TOPPINGS OF YOUR CHOICE (IT WILL BE LIGHTER AND LOOSER) OR CHILL IT FOR 30 MINUTES OR MORE (IT WILL BECOME FIRMER AND A BIT MORE PUDDING-LIKE).

ADD YOUR FAVORITE TOPPINGS BEFORE SERVING. OR, STIR THEM RIGHT INTO THE MOUSSE FOR ADDED TEXTURE.
