I made my mom's recipe Luscious Chocolate Mousse this weekend. My adorable sis-in-law Asia, was good enough to ask me for the recipe. As I assumed it is already here (it is most likely our family's favorite, am I right Mechelle?) under the month of February. I added under the comment on that recipe a fun, new and I (not so humbly) think fabulous twist to the recipe. If you like Chocolate Mint, you HAVE to check out what I did.

HOLY YUMMY BATMAN!

PS Does anyone have a good recipe for Pad Thai? I have been looking on the Internet and tried one last night. It was a thumbs down experiment! Poor David was trying not to throw up at dinner last night!

Hot Mulled Apple Cider

I made this for a little get together last night and it was delish! I love to serve this beverage in the winter, it warms the soul!

1/2 c. brown sugar (try less, the cider is already sweet)

1 t. whole all spice

1 t. whole cloves

1/4 t. salt

dash nutmeg

3 cinnamon sticks (3 inch long)

2 quarts apple cider (I actually used a bottle of 96 oz. which turned out to be 3 quarts plus a FULL cup. The flavor was fabulous and plenty sweet.)

Combine, boil, cover and simmer 20 minutes, strain spices. I just mix it and put it in my crock pot on high about two-three hours before my party. Short time before guests arrive I turn the crock pot down to low.

For those Martha Stewarts of you: Serve with Orange wedges stubbed with cloves!
