Day 9 Dinner

Tonight the wife was nice enough to make me veggie stuffed enchiladas, without cheese of course. Honestly I missed the cheese in this dish but I was content with the cheeseless option.

For desert we made an orange chocolate mousse torte from Unprocessed so you know there was no processed sugar, oil or salt. It was good but would have been much better had we followed the recipe better. :).

  1. I've been wanting to make the orange chocolate torte, but now I'm kind of nervous. You say it could have been better if you followed the recipe better... do you have any specific insights to what went wrong?

    1. Yes, I forgot to add cocoa powder to the crust. The crust recipe is on a separate page and if you follow that recipe it won't say to add cocoa powder, but turning back to the recipe for the torte, it says to add it to the crust recipe. :) Too late for me! Then on the torte, we tried two different markets (TJ's and Ralphs) for unsweetened coconut but no luck so we left it out. I'm sure Whole Foods has it. We also didn't garnish it with the chocolate chunks nor coconut shavings because we haven't had the time. It's not too late for the garnishments. I might add them today for a closer flavor to AJ's. :) It's still good. It's almost like a big Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. :)

    2. Ohh and that white stuff you see on top is not coconut shavings, it's frost that fell off the plastic wrap when I pulled it back.

  2. Got it! Thanks for the suggestions. Sounds like I might need to plan a couple of trips to different markets to get everything that I need :)
