Firstly I must apologise for my lack of posts. I’ve been exhausted. I think my Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome is playing up and I have barely been sleeping. And when I say not sleeping, I mean two hours sleep a night, then wide awake and alert. After a day at work this tends to make me lethargic and doesn’t leave me a lot of energy for blogging, so I apologise. I’m hoping to be getting on top of it shortly. Fingers crossed.
Anyway. On to something more interesting. I’m not the most domesticated person I know, in fact I’d probably go as far as to say I’m the least domesticated person I know. And yet, today, I found myself making Malteser cheesecake from scratch. Not a packet mix in sight. It even tasted devine. I think I’m in danger of becoming a domestic goddess. Though that could be going a bit far in all my excitement.
Have you tried to do something recently that you haven’t tried before? How did it go?
I leave you with aforementioned cheesecake to drool over. :)
EDIT: To say, you can find the recipe Here. Just scroll through the page of different cheescakes until you find this one.
That looks amazing…now I want cheesecake for breakfast. I'm more a follow a recipe kind of gal, at least until I've made something a few times :)
That looks absolutely fantastic!I hope you get your sleep issues sorted it out. Being awake when you want to be asleep is so miserable.
I've just added the link where you can get the recipe :)
Thanks Sarah. It is making everything seem like really hard work. I'm sure I'll hit a level point soon. The cheesecake was wonderful! :)
Oh…cheesecake. Me likey.
This looks amazing. I've been looking for a recipe since it's become my fav pregnancy snack. I literally stop indulging on anything else so I can hop over to the coffee shop for it once a week. It's good to hear about new challenges. I bought myselfna sewing machine last week and figured out howmto thread, etc. all n my own and been sowed a comforter for my expected baby girl.I also bought some second hand peices of furniture that I wanted to try my hand at restoring and yesterday I stripped the first item of paint and sanded. So tomorrow me and spray paint. I think i'm in that nesting period. Especially with us moving house as well.
As I said on twitter that cheesecake looks divine! When I followed the link to the recipes I feel in love with the blueberry cheesecake (Yes, I am going to marry it, so there). Is there anything you can take for your POTS when it gets particularly troublesome?
I have friends over on Saturday – I know what I'm making now! Hope your sleeping sorts itself out soon, it must be awful for you x
Oh, and I just tagged you on my blog – not the same one as in your previous post but don't feel you have to play if you're too exhausted!
Mmm, cheesecake! :)
Hugs on not feeling so good. Hope you get well soon.I made lasagne and it turned out good. So for the next break I will save this cheesecake recipe to try! It looks yum!Riya
Yum yum YUUUUM!I hope you feel better soon. Not sleeping is just miserable sometimes.
Your cheesecake looks divine. I love the special touch of cherries on top. The "becoming a domestic goddess" part wouldn't be of concern to me, more the "gaining weight from hogging all the cheesecake."
Malteser cheese cake sounds delicious. I've done nothing new lately and need to get out of my rut so Malteser cheese cake sounds just the way to do that. Hope you're starting to feel better.
Hope you get some rest soon. I know hard it is on the body when you're not getting enough sleep. I love Cheese Cake!
I hope you've been sleeping better since you posted. The cheesecake looks delicious!
It was lovely. I need to make it again!
It really is worth making if you get the chance, it was just so lovely. I've popped over to your blog and seen your comforter. It's lovely.
Theyt all looked heavenly didn't they! I think I will be trying one of the others as well, though I do feel an urge to make the malteser one again!The POTS clinic have come up with a couple of things. I'm trying the first one, then if that doesn't work by four weeks, we look at option B. I'm sad that this means I'm going to be popping pills for life, but it's a bit unbearable without them, so needs must I suppose.
Did you try it Linda? What was it like?
It really was one of the nicest things I think I've ever attempted to make!
Thank you Riya. Let me know if you make the cheesecake and what you thought :)
Thanks Talli. It's not the best feeling. The cheesecake helped cheer me up though! :)
Yes, the weight gain with doing this is a bit worrying, but I'm not going to do such generously calorie laden things often, but it was definitely worth the treat.
Thanks Rosalind. Unfortunately I'm still in the same position, but hoping for it to ease in the next few weeks. Let me know what you think if you make that cheesecake!
Thank you. It can be hard work. The cheesecake was divine! :)
Thanks Theresa. I'm still struggling, but it will hopefully right itself over the next few weeks. The cheesecake was heavenly!
