Triple Layer Mango Cheesecake

Hello and Happy Monday to you!

Allow me to send some virtual sunshine to you, wherever you are :D

Hope you had a great weekend. I sure enjoyed the heat and sunshine we have been blessed with. Tell me what you got up to! I was enjoying the sun outside the Krispy Kreme at the Metrocentre. Dum dee dum.

Anyway, remember the luscious No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake recipe I shared, well, obviously being the sucker that I am, I had bought enough ingredients to make 2 cheesecakes. I know you should only buy what you need, but those 3 for 2 offers always gets me. It makes sense right? Right? 

I wanted to use up those ingredients so I decided to take advantage of the lovely mangoes I have been seeing and serve up a cold and refreshing mango cheesecake. The basics of this recipe are the same as the No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake, just swap the strawberries for 1 medium sized mango. I also added an extra layer of light sponge cake on top of the biscuit base - hence the 3 layers. The sponge cake doesn't contain any butter, and just works really well with the light cream cheese. This cake is really just fabulous on a hot humid day. Make this for your summer parties and it will be be the star of the party.

Since the recipe for the base and cheese layers are essentially the same, I am just going to share the recipe for the sponge cake layer and mango purée topping here.

Healthier Fried Rice & Tamago

Washing the rice cooker is not my favourite chore, so when I do cook rice I prefer to cook a big batch to last a few meals. We eat mostly brown rice in this house and in my weekly fridge clean out, I found I had a whole batch of leftover cooked brown rice. What better way to clean out the fridge with bits of leftover ingredients by making fried rice. That way I can use up my sugar snap peas as well, hey, fried rice works every single time!

At the same time, I wanted to try out a Japanese omelette ("Tamago") recipe which I found on this site called "How to Make Great Sushi". I like it because  - A. I have all the ingredients already B. It's so darn easy!

Sweet Potato Mash with Home Made Baked Beans

I was at the gym today and I observed that some of the staff had to have really quick lunch breaks. Now, I was at the gym, why was I still picking up food vibes? 

Anyway, the point of this story is that even the nice chap manning the front desk had to eat at his desk. I have done it before, and I know how difficult it is trying to eat, type, answer the phone and yes, focus on work while eating. It's really an amazing feat. Most times you have to have food which do not require both hands to eat. That got me thinking about creating a dish which was safe to eat at work, with one hand :D

Just to digress a little, I am a new user on Reddit and have just discovered what the acronym "SFW" stands for. Thank you Urban Dictionary and yes, I am a noob like that.
