Dear Avocado,

I love you!

I started eating Avocado when I was a teenager. My dad became a vegetarian then and he started researching what should a vegetarian consume to maintain the nutrient that is needed. So he started eating Avocado.

At first I didn't like how tasteless it is but after a couple of times of sharing a half of Avocado with my dad, I loved it!

Lately the Avocado bug bit me again and I add avocado in most of my meals.

Avocado on toasted Cranberries Wholemeal Bread for breakfast.

Avocado, I <3 you ! :D

Fancy something flourless?

I had some cream cheese (ok, not some, 500grams of it!) that were about to expire. So I had to quickly search for a recipe to make something out of it before it expires. Luckily it only expires after my mum's birthday.

As usual, I searched online and found something new and different (at least for me). Found a nice recipe by Erica Lea.

Here's how my Flourless Chocolate & Cream Cheese Marble Cake turned out:

I made two! 
One with Rum and one with Espresso.
Because I had 500grams of cream cheese and one recipe only calls for about 250grams of it.
Always try to avoid throwing ingredients away.

It was very well received! 
I made one for my mum's birthday and the other to be given to my guinea pigs.
I loved it and I wouldn't mind buying more cream cheese to make it again. 
(Not only when my cream cheese expires again.)

Enjoy! :D
