Easy Chocolate Mousse

Alright so it's been hectic as all hell these last couple of weeks. But all this lack of free time is paying off - I got a new job at the school, I got an 88.3% on my Psych midterm exam, and I've been getting 80-90%s on everything else so far. BUT I have a tiny break before my next midterm, so this weekend I'm going to make a great effort to put up 3 recipes. Today is something super easy. I bring you low-carb chocolate mousse. I would also like...

[Update] Flaxbread

Hi all. I've adjusted my flaxbread recipe slightly and wanted to let you all know. It's a minor change and also not necessary. I have started using 2 tablespoons of olive oil instead of 1/4 cup! Subsequently, the bread will also have slightly less calories and fat per slice. Additionally, you can make the bread slightly fluffier by adding a bit more water and mixing it very, very well. Enjoy! xo, Jenni...

Spaghetti Squash Casserole

Okay gosh. I am swamped with studying and taking care of my household and trying to be an involved student. So I'm surprised this is even being posted.

I promised my friend crepes (yummy, I know) that this casserole would be the next thing I post. So here it is. Spaghetti squash is called such because the meat of the...

Pumpkin Pie

It's Thanksgiving here in Canada, so in the holiday spirit I've made low-carb pumpkin pie! It's not as low-carb as I would like it to be, but compared at about 40-50g of carbs per slice for a 'regular' pumpkin pie, I'll take it! Though there are some ingredients that could be switched/adjusted to make this lower carb - I will list them under ingredients, but I haven't tried the adjusted pie myself. I would like to stress that although this is a...

Base Muffin Mix

Alright so I had tried making some muffins last week and this is what I came up with. I took two batches of muffins to game night and they were a big success, so I highly recommend you try making these for yourself! This particular recipe is only a base mix (as I hope you could tell just from the title). So basically, you can use this recipe for just about any muffin you'd like to make. Add whatever you want, really, as long as it fits into your...
