The
festivities are officially over, the tree is down (yet I am still finding pine
needles everywhere?!) and I have, yet again, eaten too much rubbish.I have packed the hubby off to work with a
big bag of leftover cakes and chocolates (I have a feeling he is going to be
very popular today!) in order to avoid the temptation to eat them myself.The diet has commenced and the new fitness
regime will commence shortly…. Just as soon as I have the motivation.To be fair, I haven’t got time to exercise at
the moment, as I am currently in the middle of a House-a-thon, having got the
season 7 box set for Christmas.I much
prefer watching House than the Taebo dvd.
But, for
now, while I sit here with my bowl of Special K (other low fat cereals are
available – and some of them may possibly taste less like cardboard), I will
leave you with my favourite memory of Christmas 2011….
Delicious
Desserts!
For the
jellies:
Break up
some trifle sponges and place in the bottom of a champagne flute.Pour in the jelly and leave to set.Whip up some angel delight, pour on top of
the set jelly and top with some mini marshmallows.
For the
mousse:
Melt some
dark chocolate, leave to cool slightly, then whip up with some double
cream.Scoop a layer into each
glass.Do a layer of white chocolate,
followed by another dark layer and top with a whole chocolate, some grated
chocolate and anything else you like as long as it’s chocolate!
I’m now
very glad I emptied the cupboards of chocolate this morning!Although, I could always pop to the shop…..
is cereal still classed as healthy if it has grated chocolate on top?
