Low Cal Coffee House Style Frozen Mocha Java

Craving that coffee house frozen drink at home.  How about with a lot less calories?  

Here's my take on a famous chain's mocha-java iced.

1/2c 2% milk
1 serving or 1 tsp. instant coffee
1 tsp. raw sugar or your favorite sweetener
1 tsp. cocoa powder
About 8 ice cubes


Pre-mix in a glass the milk, instant coffee and cocoa until blended.  Then pour mixture into blender and add ice and sweetener.  Blend until icy smooth.

You will need a good ice crushing blender.  For an extra treat, top off your frozen treat with a dollop of fat free whipped topping.

My Fav Maine Lobster Pound

On the road into downtown Blue Hill, Maine, there's a sharp curve.  Slow down and you won't miss my fav place for a "lobsta" roll.  The Fish Net offers fish, shrimp and lobster to crab cakes and scallops all harvested locally.  So grab a picnic table and chow down.  Then go walk Blue Hill mountain to burn it all off!

Caesar Salad Supreme Lives Up to Its Name

My friend Emily made me the most delicious Caesar salad last night.  She got the recipe from All Recipes and it's called Caesar Salad Supreme.  This recipe is sans anchovies!  Yeah!  While my husband can down a pizza smothered with the little buggers, the slippery shiners are just too strong for my palate.

This recipe uses mayonnaise, garlic, Worcestershire Sauce and mustard to get a spicy tang.  My friend reduced fat by substituting a low fat mayonnaise for the full calorie cousin.  This spicy version of Caesar dressing will put a smile on your face!
