- 400g cream cheese
- 90g sugar

Mix the cream cheese, lemon peel, lemon juice, eggs, creme fraiche, sugar and vanilla bean and blend it with the oreo cream filling. Mix it with a egg whip but take caret hat you dont make it too fluffy. Put the mixture in your muffin forms. Take care that your forms are not paper forms but silicone. The mass is too liquid. Bake for 20 minutes at 170'C (338 F). Let them cool down and put in the freezer for at least 1 hour. Cheesecake should be served cool.

Vegan quiche

This is the first time I made quiche. It turned out quite well. Its just not stable enough to get it out of my silicone form :) But it simply had to be in form of a heart :)

The recipe is easy. For the base you need:

- 330g wholegrain flour
- 150g margarine
- 80ml water
-salt

mix it all well and put covered in the freezer for 30 minutes.

For the filling you can use whatever you like. I chose:
- soya yoghurt
- tofu
- spinach
- corn
- loooots of herbs, dried and fresh

mix the yoghurt with the herbs and grate half of the tofu in it.
Bake the pastry for 10 mintes at 200'C. Put it out and fill it with your yoghurt mix. On top put the spinach and corn and cover it with the other grated half of your tofu.
Put it back in the oven for 20 minutes. Low the heat on 175'C and bake for another 15 minutes. As I said, you can choose whatever filling you like. But take care that its not too dry!

Apple roses

Today i tried a recipe i saw on youtube. Aplle roses.They dont just look great but taste absolutely delicious. I used simple strawberry marmelade instead of apricot preserves. If you want to try it here is the video by TipHero: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Dirf_QHDCw

My mashed potatos

I love mashed potatos. Especially since I got my dental brace :) I dont use only potatos but also sweet potatos. It gives the mix a little sweetnes and extra.
Hereis how i do it:

- potatoes
- sweet potatos (dont take too much, maximum half of the amount of potatos)
- milk ( or something similar)
- salt
- soft cheese
- butter

I cook the potatos in small pieces so its faster. You can cook both together or seperate. When theyre more then well cooked, put them in a big bowl. Add butter and soft cheese so they can melt on the hot potatos. Warm up the milk. Start mixing the potatos with a mixxer and add milk until everything is smooth. Than add salt and mix again. You can prepare both potatos like that together or seperate. Depends on how you want to present it :) Hope you like it :)

Salmon steak with oven potatos

Todays dinner. The salmon is just roasted in a pan and spiced with salt, oregano and dill.
For the rest you need:
- potatos
- butter
- salt
- herbs
- aluminium foil
- honey
- mustard
- dill

The potatos should be peeled and washed. Slice them carefully, but not all the way through. Put a small piece of butter in every second cut. Cover it with salt and herbs. Then wrap it  in aluminium foil. Take care, that the open side is on the top. Put it for 30 minutes in the oven at 200'C. Then open the foil and bake for another 10 minutes so the top gets slightly golden. Done :)

I made some sauce for the salmon. It's honey, mustard and dill. It suits perfectly with the salmon.

Pumpkin soup

One of the best and easiest soups i ever made is pumpkin soup. One advice when you cook with pumpkins. They are very hard. Just wrap them in aluminium foil and bakethem at 200"C for about half an our. It hepls a lot! Here is the recipe i tried and which worked out really good. You can pretty much vary it depending on which ingredients you like:

- 1 pumpkin

- flour
- herbs
- vegetable stock

Cut the onions and roast them in 2 teaspoons op coconut oil. Slice the pumpkin in little pieces and add them to the onions. Roast it for a few minutes. Cover it with 2 tablespoons of flour and mix it well. Than cover it with hot vegetable stock and mix again. Cook it all together until the pumpkin is soft. A bit like a cooked potato. Add two small pieces of fresh ginger. Than you need to pureé it all together and put it back on the stove. Add herbs as you like and cook it slightly for another 5 minutes. Done :) Hope you like it as much as i do :)
