Healthy Light Cheesecake.
Hello everybody.
Got a cute bag of Sativa raw sugar from my husband’s cousin last week so I thought I’d do a nice healthy dessert with it.
After some research I tried this mix, the lightest I could make though a small pack of cream was a must to give some richness and a bit of strawberry sauce on top to add some sweetness.
Ingredients and method :
* for the crust :
* 1/2 cup finely crushed almonds.
* 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts or hazelnuts.
* 1 tablespoon honey.
* 1 tablespoon low fat butter.
* Mix all ingredients till crumbly then press into a cheesecake pan or small pots.
Cheesecake mix:
* 1/2 pack of light cream cheese.
* half cup yogurt.
* half cup Sativa raw sugar.
* two tablespoons labaneh.
* one pack cream.
* one tablespoon lemon juice.
* Beat all ingredients together till soft and creamy then add on top of crust.
* Refrigerate overnight then top with strawberry syrup or fresh berries.
cute and delicious.

Colored Cauliflower.
Hello everybody.
Got these two lovely colored cauliflowers yesterday from our friend.When I asked my Facebook group what to do with them I got many suggestions, main one was to pickle them and another was roasting with garlic, olive oil and Parmesan or as gratin with potatoes.
So now I pickled half and prepared a pan with potatoes and cream for baking. All looks appealing and colorful.
Steak Sandwich Loaf.
Hello everybody.
Had to make a lunch quickly cause boys had dentist appointment and may not be allowed to eat for hours afterwards.
I was about to make shawerma with some spinach in pitta bread I made this morning for mom’s gathering but boys suggested that I’ll try to make the Fajita Loaf style but as steak sandwich,result was really delicious they even loved it more than chicken.
Filling was sauteed shredded beef and onions with steak spices and chili then when done I added some Gouda and cream cheese. Of course you can add sweet peppers and mushrooms.
Nice new dish to add to our menu.
