The term "mousse" in French means "foam," aptly describing the dessert's fluffy consistency. This delightful treat is a variation of the classic French mousse, which was initially made with chocolate. The vanilla variant emerged as chefs began experimenting with different flavors, incorporating vanilla bean or extract to impart a delicate, aromatic essence that has since become a favorite around the globe. Vanilla mousse embodies the essence of French dessert-making artistry, combining simple ingredients like cream and vanilla to create a dessert that is both elegant and universally appealing. Its history is a testament to the creativity and refinement that defines French cuisine, making it a beloved classic in the repertoire of desserts. Whether you are looking for a super quick dessert or an even quicker filling for cake, this recipe is super easy! It whips up in minutes and you can literally use any flavor to make it! Add fresh fruit and homemade whipped cream in layers for a quick trifle...seriously the combinations are endless. Enjoy! Recipe Ingredients: 1 cup chilled heavy whipping cream (milkfat between 36-40%) 55 grams of instant vanilla powdered pudding mix Recipe Directions: In a chilled mixer bowl whip pudding powder with heavy whipping cream using a whisk attachment until light and fluffy. Keep refrigerated. Uses: This is great as a filling in cakes or in tart shells for a no bake dessert.

She would add beef bouillon to enhance the broth, a couple cloves of garlic, and a store bought rutabaga or turnip (one of the few veggies she didn’t grow). My mom's soup has evolved even more from my grandmother’s recipe. There is one thing we agree with: There is nothing that warms the soul more than a hearty soup filled with end-of-summer and beginning-of-fall veggies. Recipe Ingredients: 1-2 pounds quality beef Avocado oil 1 cup water 2 - 32 ounce containers of beef stock 1 large sweet yellow onion 3 stalks of celery 6 medium sized garlic cloves, minced 1/3 cup barley Parsnips Carrots Zucchini Potatoes Green beans Frozen peas Recipe Directions: Cut beef into bite size pieces and sear in avocado oil. Once the beef is seared to a nice brown, remove it and place it in an oversized crock pot and turn on high. Add about a cup of water to the fond and scrub until all those flavorful bits have relinquished their hold to the bottom of the pan. Place the fond directly into the crock pot, along with the beef stock. Cut up the sweet onion and celery and mince six medium size garlic cloves. Caramelize the veggies in avocado oil. Ladle some of the broth from the crock pot into the pan. Add 1/3 cup barley to the crock pot. Continue cooking on high for about 45 minutes. Slice the carrots and cut potatoes into bite size pieces and place in the crock pot. Slice all the rest of the veggies into sticks and spray with avocado oil and roast in the oven. About 15-20 minutes before serving, add frozen peas and green beans to crock pot. This will ensure the do not get mushy. Add the roasted veggies and heat through. Serve with homemade bread and enjoy!

In this video, I show you how to create a salami rose, layer cheeses, and add the perfect mix of crackers and toppings. This setup works for a cozy night in, a holiday gathering, or just a snack. To make the salami rose, you’ll need a small cup and thinly sliced salami. Layer the pieces around the rim, slightly overlapping each one, until the center is full. Flip it over, and you’ve got a perfect salami rose. For the board, I’m using my homemade salami rolls, a cheese ball, blueberry goat cheese, Kerrygold cheese, Brie, and a mix of crackers. Candy pecans add a sweet crunch. Arrange everything in small clusters, filling in gaps with crackers and extras. This board is quick to put together and easy to customize. Swap cheeses, add fruit, or mix in your favorite spreads. Try it for your next gathering and enjoy! Recipe Ingredients: 10-12 slices of salami 1 small cup (for shaping) 1 small cheese ball 2 oz blueberry goat cheese 2 oz Kerrygold cheese 2 oz Brie cheese 10-12 assorted crackers ¼ cup candy pecans Recipe Directions: Take a small cup and fold each salami slice halfway over the rim, slightly overlapping the previous piece. Continue layering until the center is full. Flip the cup over to release the salami rose. Place the salami rose on a serving board. Add the cheese ball, blueberry goat cheese, Kerrygold cheese, and Brie to the board. Cut parchment strips if needed to keep soft cheeses separate. Arrange crackers around the cheeses in small clusters. Sprinkle candy pecans in open spaces for a sweet crunch. Serve and enjoy.

BLOGGER BILLIE billie@epicdelights.com BLOGGER BILLIE Writing has always been Billie Grable’s first passion. And yes, baking is her second. Growing up in a family of seven kids (she landed right in the middle), Billie learned to cook large. She watched her mom turn a pound of hamburger into a full meal that fed her entire family. She enjoyed endless loaves of fresh bread and cookies all through her childhood. It's not surprising that during her career in high tech, she was best known for her baking abilities -- and she liked that. She loved nurturing her coworkers through the daily grind with fresh baked goodies. She never had to announce the arrival of the newest batch … coworkers knew instinctively and her desk was the most visited in the office. Billie’s love for cake decorating started long before her career in high tech. It was important to her that her daughters’ birthdays be celebrated with a homemade cake. This was a long standing family tradition, and she remembers the simple, yet delicious cakes her mother made for her and her siblings. Billie decided she wanted to take her cakes to a creative and new level. She found a store in Bremerton, Washington that sold cake decorating supplies and soon began the process of teaching herself how to decorate. Her early cakes, were, let’s face it: scary! She’s sure the clown cake she made for her youngest daughter instilled both of her girls with their skin crawling fear of clowns. And her first wedding cake, was, well, downright ugly. The cake was for a coworker’s daughter and the wedding was held on a hot summer day in August; sometime in the 1980s. Billie loaded the two tiered cake into the front seat of her pickup truck. By the time she arrived at the wedding destination, the top cake on the bottom tier had slid into the back of the seat, turning the already questionable cake into a disaster. She brought the damaged goods into her coworker’s house and as she popped it in their freezer, tearfully assured her friend the cake could be repaired. Fortunately the wedding was schedule for the next day. And fortunately (or unfortunately given the horrendous color of blue), Billie had left over icing that she used to repair the cake and right the unspeakable wrong. Billie’s obsession for cake decorating led her to a job decorating cakes at a local grocery store. Her skills improved and she relished the new challenge. Some of her cakes were quite ingenious. Like her Michael Jackson cake. She gave him a full head of black piping gel hair, and she sparkled his famous white glove with edible glitter. It was a huge hit for Michele’s 16th birthday and became a frequently ordered item. There was one thing Billie realized during her first year in the bakery. Mass production wasn't her idea of creativity. After her second Easter required producing over 100 Easter bunny cakes, she opted for a career change. When her father-in-law gave her a brand new Tandy 1000 computer, her new obsession began. She left the bakery and went to work for the government. The change gave her the opportunity to work on computers and she was promoted to computer system analyst. Billie soon learned all she could and her eagerness to expand her computer skills landed her a software test engineer position at Microsoft. After spending almost thirty years in high tech, she earned the title, Geeky Grandma, from her grandson Nate. Blogging for Epicurean Delights keeps Billie's creative juices flowing and gives her the opportunity to work closely with her oldest daughter. They are working on a cookbook, and Billie is polishing her second novel. You can purchase her first novel, The Weeping Willow Sings, on Amazon .

Our smashed potatoes are great with Old Bay seasoning or you can jazz them up with some truffle zest. Recipe Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds fingerling or baby red potatoes, evenly sized Kosher salt 1/4 cup olive oil 2-3 garlic cloves, minced 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning or Truffle zest Freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons chives, chopped Finishing sea salt (Maldon) Recipe Directions: Add the potatoes to a large saucepan or Dutch oven set over medium-high heat, and cover with at least 1 inch of cold water; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes until almost cooked through, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let cool until room temperature. When completely cooled, place in fridge for about 30 mins. Once cool, place the potatoes on a cutting board and gently smash with the back of a large cup. The potatoes should remain together and be flattened to about 1/3-inch thickness. In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, garlic, seasoning or zest, salt and pepper. Generously brush the oil mixture on both sides of the smashed potatoes. Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cast--iron will give you a really nice crust on the potatoes. Add the potatoes a baking sheet pan, being careful not to break the potatoes up. Cook until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the potatoes to a serving plater, top with chives and finishing sea salt. Enjoy!
