Oats n' berry crumble

I've been having fun looking at this food blog: Oh She Glows some really healthy and great recipes there.

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

          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?
