This is actually amazing! Don't think I would colour co-ordinate mine though, but still an absolutely brilliant idea.

Frozen Berry Cheesecake

Seriously, how good does this look!
I am not much of a baker, actually I'm no baker at all. I have dabbled in the art a total of two times.
I think I will make it a third with this amazing recipe :)
The Crust: Ginger Snap Pecan
- 2/3 bag of gluten free ginger cookies, finely ground (make about 1 to 1 1/12 cups of ground)
- 1 cup Raw Unsalted Pecans
- 1/8 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
- 1 pinch of sea salt
Preheat oven to 300 F. Meanwhile, place butter into a small saucepan on the stove top, and melt on low heat. Once your oven is heated, pour the pecans onto a metal baking sheet and place on the center rack inside. Toast for approximately 5 minutes until pecans smell fragrant, stir often with a wooden spoon.
Pecans burn easily, so it is best to err on the side of taking them out too soon, rather than burn them. Allow nuts to cool. Grind your cookies in a food processor until you have fine crumbs. Pour crumbs into a medium mixing bowl and stir in sugar and a small pinch of sea salt.
Grind cooled pecans in food processor until they are very fine. Do not over-grind or they will begin to turn into nut butter. Add nuts into the cookie crumb mixture and stir well.
Pour melted butter into crust mixture, and stir well with a fork until clumps form. If the mixture is too dry, you can add in additional melted butter. Pour crust mixture into a fluted pie dish and press down until it covers the bottom and sides of the dish. Place in the refrigerator to cool, and then fill with your cheesecake filling!
The Cheesecake Filling
- 250g Philadelphia Brick Cream Cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup of sugar
- 1-1/3 cups of raspberry juice
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
Beat cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl with mixer until well blended. Whisk in remaining ingrediants; pour over crust.
Freeze for 4 hours or until firm. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes to soften before serving. Enjoy :)

Letterpress Invitations
POSTED ON: Monday, 23 July 2012 @ 13:11 | 0 comments
A few weeks ago I received an invitation to a wedding. Before I had even opened the Letterpress envelope, I immediately started judging. "Why would anyone go to this much effort for an invitation. Why would they spend a fortune. They have tried too hard.."
It wasn't a great first impression!
...
I am now obsessed.
These are obviously A LOT better than the one I received, the last one is amazing!

Would very much like the next few weeks to hurry along!
Not that I am overly thrilled about leaving my friends & family behind, but excited and anxious to get settled in the new place!
Most definitely a creature of comfort. The thought of moving to some desolate, unknown space makes leaves me feeling rather unnerved. So the sooner I get over there and start unleashing my pent up creativeness on the place, the better :) !

Thanks to d.Sharp for this one!
Brilliant idea, never have I thought to do is! And now the more I think about it, I honestly don't know how I have lived on this planet for 23 years and not come up with this myself!
Amazing & simple :)
How To:
- Clip the lower corners off envelopes. We will use them as bookmarks that slip over the corner of a page.
- Can definitely see them coming handy with magazines, marking out a favourite feature.
