Dessert Anyone?

Normally neither one of us is big on eating dessert, it is something that I make every once in a while; but not on a regular basis.
I have a bunch of cream cheese in the deep freeze that I am trying to use up so we have been eating some good stuff lately if you like cheesecake type desserts.
I was surfing online for a no bake chocolate cheesecake the other day as I also had some chocolate I want to use up.
I found one and tried it after all how can cream cheese, crumbs and chocolate be a bad mixture, also it was very simple.
It turned out quite well.  When I make a new recipe I always ask Roy if it is a "make again" recipe or a "never again" recipe.  He pronounced this one a "make again".  It is very rich; especially with a dollop of whipped cream, so you don't want a large portion of it.

Morning Coffee and The Cycle of Life

Sitting on the patio having our morning coffee and I thought I would just share a couple of photos of what we look out at daily.
Lovely morning, birds are singing, hummingbirds are eating and fighting and there is not a cloud in the sky.

This photo made me think of the cycle of life: birth, life and death all in one photo.  I love how the new Mango leaves start off such a pretty purple colour, before continuing on to be green and then the yellow as they prepare to die.















Just some of what we look out on as we sip our coffee on the patio.




























Have a good day and a Happy Cinco de Mayo if you celebrate it.
