Oreo ice-cream chocolate mocha cheescake

 For dessert I made Oreo ice-cream chocolate mocha cheesecake.

I used 1/2 cup Starbucks Mocha Chocolate coffee mixed with 1 cup Philadelphia cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup sour cream, vanilla, vanilla sugar, 2 packaged Oreo cookies, crushed and extra for topping.
1 cup crushed wheat sweet crackers mixed with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 2 tablespoon melt butter. Mixed well and spread in a pie plate. Bake in oven for 8 minutes on 375 degrees F until crust is slightly golden. Out of oven let cool down for 10 minutes. Then spread Oreo cheesecake mixture on top of cracker crust. Place in freezer for 6 hours. I served it when it was dessert time. 

Bacon Wrapped Pork with homemade mushroom sauce

Another dish I made today. Homemade bacon wrapped pork loin with homemade mushroom/onion sauce, and homemade mashed potatoes.

I bought bacon and pork loin at Meny in Hønefoss, Norway. I think that is how you spell it. It used to be an Ica Maxi but now it's a Meny. I wanted to check what they had there because I haven't been there in a while. I have to say, it's a really nice grocery store but I sure do miss American grocery store. I miss the prices, more varieties on meat and other things. The prices are expensive but Norway is an expensive country. I still can't or will ever get use to the price here. I bought 400 gram pork loin cost 39krs that's around 6.20 USDollars and bacon was offer 24krs/4.20 USDollars.

Sliced pork into thin slices. Seasoned and marninade for about an hour. Then wrapped around with bacon, set a side.

Diced 1 onion,2 clove garlic, chopped mushrooms. In a large saucepan heated 3 tablespoon margarine on medium/low heat. Added in onion and garlic, sauteed for 10 minutes. Sprinkled in 2 tablespoons flour and whisked until thicken, then seasoned with salt and pepper, cooked for 3 minutes. Added in chicken stock and cognac whisked, cooked for 5 minutes. Then stirred in mushrooms cooked for 3 minutes. Added in cream. Stirred and let simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set a side.

In a large skillet heated a tablespoon olive oil on high heat. I cooked 6 bacon wrapped pork for 5 minutes on each side until golden crispy. Place cooked bacon wrapped pork on a serving plate and let rest for 6 minutes.

On a serving plate. Place mashed potatoes in the center of the plate, then place bacon wrapped pork loin on top, pour mushroom sauce on top and around.

Chorizo pork pasta and bean soup

 It's so nice and quiet at the moment. My kids and husband are sleeping. I felt like this is the time I get to make post until the kids are awake. I wanted to share this because it's easy to make and my whole family loved it. A tasty soup for this great autumn weather. 

I diced chorizo sausages into bite size. I bought 2 packages at Meny grocery store because it was offer. 

400 gram fresh ground pork seasoned with salt, pepper, seasoning sauce, and other spices.

Chopped fresh vegetables into bite size. (3 carrots, 4 stalks celery, fennel, leek).

In a large soup pot I heated 2 tablespoons olive oil on high heat. I stirred in chorizo sausages and ground pork. Cooked until brown for 5 minutes. I removed meat from soup pot, placed meat in a bowl and set a side. Brought soup pot back on the stove and heated another tablespoon olive oil. Added in my vegetable, sauteed for about 4-5 minutes on medium/high heat. Then stirred in cooked sausages and pork. Stirred and mixed with a wooden spoon for 3 minutes. Added in 2 liter of chicken stock, a can of tomato sauce, and 3 cube of chicken bouillon. Stirred, covered, cooked for half hour. Then I added in fresh chopped garlic and other fresh herbs. Simmered for 40 minutes. Added in beans, covered and cook  another 10 minutes. Lowered heat, remove cover, stirred, and added in pasta and cook for about 5-7 minutes. Seasoned for taste. Ladled soup in a bowl and served with toasted sliced French baguettes.

My kids loved this soup. They love sausages, pork, and pasta.
