Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake Bars

Ovo-lacto veg

Maybe I was inspired by my sister-in-law's awesome raspberry cheesecake back in June when I visited them in Estonia... Because this recipe popped out at me while searching for a sure-to-please dessert for my sister's engagement party. The verdict? Everyone loved 'em. I would only change one thing, which would be to make a graham cracker crust next time, just to up the ante.

Easy and fun to make, but there'll a bit of dish-washing required post-baking.

Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers with Spicy Peanut Sauce

Vegan

I had this bookmarked for a loooooong time... well worth the wait! Thx again, Oh She Glows!
The only modification I would make is less black pepper. Also, my sweet potato coins burned to a crisp... so they really should be relatively thick and watch them like a hawk ;)

Served  with sautéed kale and carrot strips. Buns or rice work too, of course.

ROKing the espresso

Here is my Dad with the ROK coffee maker, hard at work... I don't know which of them is working harder, but the results were mighty tasty and the process quite entertaining. Great gift for a coffee-lover, as my Dad will attest!
