The spring has arrived in my front yard!

We had a lot of nice weather this week and i was looking forward to gardening this week. But Friday the weather turned around and it was very cold and cloudy. When i woke up this morning i saw a little bit of sun and it was windy.
Though i decided to go to the gardening shop and i couldn't resit to buy some flowers for my garden ( not knowing exactly where i''ll be putting them :S)

this is what i bought today:

- a peony
- a rhubarb
- strawberries
- a butterfly bush
- a rose

And i'm very proud of the result:

What do you think of the result??

there is always hope

one of my favorites people at the moment is Nick Vujicic.
He is sooo inspiring and i'm going to start ready his biography tonight!

cheesecake (de)light

A few weeks ago i tried a recipe for a "light" cheesecake and it was surprisingly delicious!!

Ingredients:

75 gr margarine

150 gr digestives

2 eggs

250 ml skinny yoghurt

30 g creamcheese (light)

1 spoon flour

juice of a ½ citroen

25 g strawberries

30 g sugar

1 Preheat the oven to 200 ° C. Grease the edge of the baking sheet in. Crush the biscuits in a food processor finely. Add the butter and blend briefly until the butter running well blended. Spoon the cake mixture in the bottom of the springform pan and press with the back of a spoon well.Turn after baking the temperature back to 150 ° C.

2 Separate the yolks from the whites. Mix the yogurt, cream cheese, egg yolks, flour and lemon juice together. Beat the egg whites with the mixer, gradually add the sugar and whisk the whole thing about 1 minute brisk. Mix the beaten egg whites lightly into the flour-yogurt mixture. Mix ¼ of the yogurt mixture with the raspberries and mix with hand blender until a smooth mixture.

3 Pour the white protein yogurt mixture over the pie crust and pour the raspberry mixture. With the help of a teaspoon of streaks in the batter so you get a marbled effect. Bake the cheesecake in the oven about 20 minutes. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature, then turn it in the refrigerator. Remove the cake pan only when the cheesecake has cooled completely.

And this is the result!!!
