Cakes

Raspberry Lime cheesecake

There is something about baking that calms me, and something about creating food that both looks and tastes delicious that gives me satisfaction.

         I baked two cakes for my man's birthday (partly in the case one didn't turn out, I'd have a back up but also because I simply wanted to). The second was a triple chocolate cake. The top layer didn't turn out as perfect as it could have. But despite it melting down the side, the taste was the perfect melt-in-your-mouth that I was hoping for.

 If you want a great cheesecake, the recipe for this cheesecake came from this great food blog: Annie's Eats - Lime Cheesecake with Blackberry Sauce

Of food

          For lunch today I made a bean and barley salad. I didn't have all the things that the recipe called for so I kind of just made it up as I went. It was quite delicious and incredibly filling as well. I think I'm going to be making many more salads with barley, it really was tasty and easy.

I can't ever seem to make enough of these crunchy apple cinnamon muffins. I think that I should also try making them with chunks of peach or pear instead of apple inside. Sound good?

Winter Blues

 The last of my winter photos- And here is hoping that my photos will start to have a bit more green in them. :) 

Must admit though that a stunning blue sky is brilliant for photos with white sparkly snow.
