An Apple in a Cheesecake and a Bun in the Oven

In Switzerland we actually don’t have such thing as baby shower (or bridal shower, just the normal showers you take every morning). My best friend is pregnant since 8 months. And while seeing this miracle growing I got aware that we do not at all celebrate our Mothers-to-be enough in this country. As I love hosting parties and didn’t have to reinvent the wheel, this was the perfect moment to throw my Anna and her little Baby Boy a Baby Shower. Time to shower her with love! And of course shower everyone with delicious food, what else!
One of the desserts was my Caramel Apple Cheesecake with Crumble. Click Here to see the Recipe.

For the Salty Flavors I made a Pumpkin-Carrot Quiche and the Spinach-Feta Muffins with Cream Cheese Frosting I make for almost every Party.
And my newest little fun creation were my Potato Skewers. All you do is you bake the halved Potatoes with some oil and Salt, cool them off and then layer delicious toppings on them.
My Creations were: spicy Guacamole and Shrimp / Garlic Salami and Herbal Cream Cheese / Green Olive Paste and Cherry Tomatoes
It’s also a lovely glutenfree option or if you don’t eat bread for any other reason.

For the Non- alcoholic drink I made a Ginger – Apple Lemonde. All you do is grade fresh Ginger and cut some more in to slices. Poor some hot Water over it, mix it with Lime Juice and Honey and but it aside. Then you mix it with organic Apple Juice and some bubbly Water. You can serve this Beverage cold or also warm like a Punch.

It was a wonderful afternoon with all these great woman and I can’t wait to finally meet him!

 

I wish you all a great weekend!

Strawberry-Rhubarb Love with a creamy Apple Kiss

….those crunchy sweet “crumbles” on top of the sweet fruit combination of Strawberries and Rhubarb pieces, with this irresistible Apple Vanilla Cream…Sweet dreams come true. I think I have a new favorite dessert!

While I made the crumbles they looked just perfect…but what happened while I was baking them? Instead of keeping the shape of round crumbles, it all just melted to a nice and crunchy crust on top. Not really what I wanted, but at least it didn’t effect the taste.

Crumble-Love and a happy sunday everyone!
