Orange Tirimisu

I recently had some left over Mascarpone cheese and found this great recipe at http://www.recipezaar.com . We had family over to celebrate my husbands birthday last night so I made them in individual cups for dessert. Yum!

Ingredients
10 ounces orange juice
2 tablespoons orange liqueur
12 ladyfinger sponge biscuits
12 amaretti/ alomond bread biscuit, crushed
3 oranges, peeled and segmented
4 eggs, separated
1 lb mascarpone cheese
4 ounces fine sugar
4 ounces toasted almonds (optional)

Directions
1. Mix the orange juice and liqueur. Arrange sponge fingers in the bottom of the serving bowl. Pour over the orange/liqueur juice then cover with the amaretti/almond bread biscuits and orange segments.
2. Beat together the egg YOLKS, mascarpone cheese and sugar. In another bowl whisk the egg whites until stiff and fold into the mascarpone mixture using a metal spoon. Spread this mixture over the top of the amaretti biscuits and decorate with the toasted almonds.
3. Chill slightly before serving.


I found this one made with lemon. I do have some left over Mascarpone again...mmm...delish!

Wooden bowls


I recently purchased a beautiful wooden bowl. These are some that I found on the net because our camera doesn't do our bowl much justice! I've put it on our dining table in the centre of a runner with twigs and just love it. So versatile and useful too :) Summer salads have never looked so good in winter!

Flowers on friday

Don't you just love this pretty table. It's the little things of life that transform a house into a beautiful home - not to mention the love, laughter and treasured memories of lifes little moments. I pray that my works within our home may be a fruitful vine that encourages and builds strong foundations within our family, now and for the days to come

Tuesdays trinket...

My family and I recently went to a Bollywood themed party.
The beautiful vibrant colours worn by the guests were just devine.
The fabric draped in the roof of the lounge - just gorgeous ... cute indian style mats to sit on too ... not to mention lots of yummy food!

These cute little trinkets are just beautiful and remind me of a beautiful night.
