Chocolate Cream Strawberry Shortcakes

This recipe is from a modified version of the whipped cream recipe.



What you need:
3/4 cup of whipping cream
2-2.5 teaspoons of sugar (you can substitute this with 1-1.5 packets of sweet and low)
1.5-2 tablespoons of unsweetened Baking Cocoa

Just whip these up as you would normally.



Add a spoonful or two of the cream to the shortcake, and decorate with the strawberries. In the second picture, the mint is for decoration, not eating. ;)

**Note** For a lower-carb treat, leave the shortcake out. Just dip some strawberries into the chocolate cream.

Mini Burrito Dessert

This dessert was inspired by mini chimichangas that my favorite Mexican restaurant served. Instead of deep-frying though, these are grilled.



What you need:
2-4 small flour tortillas
Cream cheese
Chocolate (The party-sized Hershey's milk chocolate, about 12 chocolate chips,or chocolate-hazelnut sauce that you can buy in a jar near the jellies taste really good with this.)

Step 1. Heat the pan while wrapping the tortillas around the chocolate and cream cheese like a burrito.

Step 2. Grill these while covered with a lid, on medium heat. Use a non-greased pan. They are finished when the tops and bottoms are browned and a little crispy (approximately 2 minutes per side).

**Top with vanilla ice cream, honey, or plain.

Mmm Coffee!

Tired of the same old jo? Here are a few ways to spice up your morning java without having to make an extra trip to the coffee shop!



Did someone say cinnamon? Not only does cinnamon smell and taste great, but it was one of the spices that encouraged world exploration!

Instead of traveling the world looking for the next perfect spice, just add a few shakes from the container that is already in your cabinet. Add the cinnamon into your grinds and presto! It's not just for apple pies anymore!

Another favorite is to add a little cocoa powder in with the grinds. It's time for mochas for pennies on the dollar! Just don't add too much powder as this can clog your drip canister and make a mess. Sadly, that is experience talking, and as Oscar Wilde said "Experience is the name every one gives to their mistakes."

For you more adventurous types, add a little pinch of anise seed into your grinds for the licorice taste. Not only will you aid your digestive tract, but your kitchen will be filled with its warm scent!
