Healthy Desserts

In our attempt to eat better, we've been making "healthy" desserts. Mike brought home strawberries a few days ago (with the purpose of making our favorite Strawberry and Spinach salad--I think we ended up making mashed potatoes and chicken instead) and we ate them for dessert with the last bit of cool whip left from my cake baking.

The next day he decided to make his own version of baked apples which turned out delicious. There were a ton of apple slices and it turns out he used FOUR apples! Needless to say, I was too full to finish.



He also whipped up some heavy cream that was left over from my chocolate ganache filling for my final cake in cake class. With a little bit of vanilla bean sugar that I picked up in Denver at the Savory Spice Shop , powdered sugar (he called it his 'secret ingredient' and told me not to look but I snuck a peek--shh! Don't tell!), and cinnamon, the whipped cream was divine.
