Fresh Covered Strawberries

 Fresh strawberries + Cheesecake filling + Crumbled Graham Crackers = Heaven in your mouth. 

 I made these for myself for my Friday snack which I needed with what I went through this week. I had to make extras because I knew my family would love these. My husband said to me, " I would only have just one." Instead he had 5. Both my girls loved my cheesecake filling. My husband and I love cheesecake. We both agree Norwegian cheesecake can not beat American Cheesecake. It's not as sweet and honestly it taste bland.

Simple Cheesecake filling

1/2 cup Philadelphia cream cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1/3 cup sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

In a bowl mix all ingredients and whisk well with an electric whisk until smooth and fluffy. One at a time take fresh strawberries dip into the cheesecake filling and coat with very fine crumble Graham crackers. Serve with extra cheesecake filling as dip.

Fun Lunches for kids

It has been a busy week. I'm surprise at myself of having the time to make these with work, kids, house work, errands, etc, etc. I don't know where I get the energy. I don't drink coffee or drink any of those energy drinks.

Fun lunches for my kids, Mario Stars & homemade macaroni and cheese, a crazy crab sandwich, and a totoro sandwich.

Hot Coco cup sandwiches

Today's lunch I've made hot chocolate cup sandwiches for my kids. I had fun making these. Who doesn't like Nutella? I cut slices of bread shaping into coffee mugs and decorated it with smores goldfish which I bought while I was in Sweden. Nutella as the hot chocolate and topped with mini marshmallows. Served with bananas and fruit jello. I had bought 1500grams of  Nutella, was on offer at Euro Cash. (750 grams of Nutella) 2 for 79 Swedish Kroners and I know you can't find a good deal like that in Oslo or anywhere in Norway. I have to admit though Nugatti is slightly better than Nutella. Nugatti is like the Nutella but the Norwegian way.

My family side (my parents) are Cambodian. They both are from Cambodia and migrated to United States because of the war and to have a better life. My siblings and myself are Cambodian American we were all born in New England. My husband and his family are Norwegian. In our family I speak English to my children and my husband speaks Norwegian. Our children speaks both languages. We don't speak Khmer. I do understand Khmer and know little of speaking it. But it's a shame, I wish I can be fluent in Khmer.

Red wine risotto with bacon and spinach

It was one of those days. Something I had in my kitchen and made red wine risotto with bacon and spinach.   Red wine I used is from Chili which went great with this risotto dish.

 First I diced 6 slices of bacon and cook with olive oil until crisp. Drain on paper towel and set a side.

In the same skillet add a tablespoon olive oil and added 1 large diced onions and 2 clove garlic. Saute for 8 minutes

 Then I added in 1 1/2 cup Arborio rice to the saute onions and garlic. Cooked rice until translucent on the outside for about 3 minutes.

 Added a cup of red wine and....

 2 cups of broth at a time to the risotto. Lower heat and let simmer. Kept stirring and stirring until it began to dry out and added some more broth and wine.

 Add in spinach, Parmesan, and more broth until rice is tender.

Simmering and stirred frequently so it doesn't stick and burn. 

 When rice is tendered remove from heat and season with salt for taste

Serve on a plate with crisp bacon and grated Parmesan cheese
