Welcome to my little hobby!! I love to eat and I am passionate about making sure that the foods I eat and the foods I feed my cute little family are healthy. I have so many wonderful recipes that I have found through the computer or some of my favorite cook books, so I thought it would be fun to share them with my wonderful friends and family. I am going to be posting a new recipe every day, some will be gluten free, sugar free, or just healthy:) I believe that it can be fun to eat healthy and can taste great as well. Now every weekend I will be throwing in some of my favorite treats and goodies recipes because I believe that everyone should be able to have a cheat day, and lets face it, life without some of our favorite treats is just not that fun. So enjoy these recipes, and hopefully they will make eating healthy fun again, and PLEASE enjoy your weekend goodies too:) Also please leave me comments on what you thought about the recipe after making it, and if there are other things you would like me to post about. I can also try to redo any recipes that may be your favorites and make them a healthier version. Enjoy

Double Chocolate Pudding Pie

Alright all you chocolate lovers, get ready to dance for joy because this recipe is amazing!! This pudding pie is another one of our family favorites, and is so easy to make:) I am leaving out of town for the weekend so I won't be posting any new recipes until Sunday, but I promise Sundays recipe will be amazing:) Have a great weekend. Ingredients

  1. 14 graham cracker squares( 7 full sheets)

  2. 2 tbsp. butter melted

  3. 1 tbsp. water

  4. 1 tbsp. unflavored gelatin

  5. 1/3 cup boiling water

  6. 2/3 cup sugar, plus 1/2 tsp

  7. 1/3 cup cocoa

  8. 1/4 cup cornstarch

  9. 1/ 8 tsp. salt

  10. 3 cups 1% low-fat milk

  11. 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

  12. 2 tsp. vanilla

  13. 1/4 cup heavy cream

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spray a 9 inch pie plate with cooking spray. In a food processor, process the graham crackers until finely ground. Add butter and water and process until the crumbs clump together. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a pie plate and about 1 inch up the sides. Bake for 10 min, then let cool. In the meantime, make the pudding. Put the gelatin in a small bowl, add the boiling water and stir until dissolved. Set aside. In a medium saucepan mix the 2/3 cup of sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt. Gradually add half of the milk, whisking until smooth. Whisk in the rest of the milk. Turn the heat on to medium and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil, about 10 min. Remove from the heat. Add the chocolate and stir until melted. Stir in the vanilla and reserved gelatin. Pour the mixture into the pie crust and let set for 3 hours in the refrigerator. Whip the cream and remaining 1/2 tsp. of sugar. Before serving, garnish the pie with the whipped cream.
