5 Secrets to Make Every Meal a Breeze
Cut out the complicated!
Learn my tips, recipes, and strategies for making mealtime easy.
The Mom Chef says
I think a good part of the country is covered in heat. We're just about to hit 90 this afternoon and have been hovering here for days. I know my mom says it's the same in Chicago. I can't imagine having that and the high altitude at the same time. Wow.
The mousse looks amazing; very refreshing.
Boulder Locavore says
I think you are right Christiane. We have now hit 103, a record breaking high. My wee one and I took an uber early run (6:30 a.m.) to the neighborhood coffee shop and enjoyed a Sunday morning nosh outdoors feeling the temps of a normal summer day high at that time! It's been a day for indoor air conditioned movie watching.
kitchenarian says
I want it all! With the week we have had here in Virginia, this looks like the perfect way to cool down. Congrats on a well deserved Top 9.
Boulder Locavore says
Thanks my friend; you as well! Stay cool. We have extra smoke with our heat by I remember well from my time in VA the summer humidity. Almost unbearable with the heat.
Carolynn says
That strawberry on top of the mousse looks more like a raspberry to me! This recipe would also be delicious made with raspberries or blackberries! yummy!
Boulder Locavore says
It is a raspberry Carolynn, you are correct! The strawberries that I had not used were so large they somehow did not present well as garnish. More like a dressed up woman wearing a hat 4 times the size of her head.
I agree; this would be fun to try with all sorts of berries. I stuck to the original recipe for my first run but may try others now that I know how delicious it is……and that with this heat I may never leave my house this summer!
Foodie Stuntman says
Looks good and congratulations on making the foodbuzz Top 9! Stay safe.
Boulder Locavore says
Thank you so much!
ping says
Oh, and congrats on getting Top 9!
Boulder Locavore says
Thanks!

Looks like brains go on switch off mode during teenage years. Used to do that as well … bake myself, that is. Now I have all the freckles to remind me how close I came to getting into worse skin troubles. Yeek.
Well, these days I stick to indoor activities such as ogling at delicious meese (that's plural for moose/mousse, applies both ways) 😀
and spritzers!
Boulder Locavore says
I suppose the self-rotisserie treatment affected some of those teen brain cells as well! Now I sport 100 SPF sunscreen, wide brimmed hats and largee sunglasses realizing a tan really only looks good on people 12 and under.
Luscious Delights says
That strawberry mousse looks good enough to dive into
Boulder Locavore says
It is a record breaking 103 degrees in Boulder today. You've given me a very good idea…..
Stephanie @ Eat. Drink. Love. says
I can't decide which of these recipes I love more!
Boulder Locavore says
Like with children or shoes, it's always best not to pick a favorite; make both!
Chef Dennis says
you had me at the mousse, throw in that refreshing spritzer and I'm ready to cool off in strawberry heaven!
Boulder Locavore says
I agree Dennis! Add air conditioning and there is nothing to complain about!
Lisa @ Tarte du Jour says
Wowzo! This is a stunning dessert. I bet food gawker and tastespotting would eat these gorgeous photos up with a spoon! They are colorful and unique just like your lovely blog always is. My daughter who adores pink would be a big fan!
Boulder Locavore says
I too love a good pink dessert! I'm not sure why but I find it very alluring. This is really delicious too. Thanks for your kind photo words too Lisa.
Baker Street says
Woah! I'd love a bottle of that homemade strawberry vodka! The mousse and spritzer both look fantastic, T! 🙂
Boulder Locavore says
Well with a mason jar, some strawberries and vodka, you can have one pretty quickly and inexpensively! I enjoyed it as a vodka tonic all last summer. So refreshing.
Ellen B Cookery says
I love strawberry season. The mousse looks so delicious!
Boulder Locavore says
Thanks Ellen. I too love strawberry season. I really can't take strawberries any other time now.
Debra Eliot says
Me, too. When are cocktails served?
Boulder Locavore says
Anytime you see fitting!
