Peppermint Cheesecake Layers

We love this cake for its childlike whimsy, candy crunch, and—hello!—hidden layers of cheesecake.

Ingredients                   

• 
  Preparation
• Peppermint Cheesecake Layers:
• 3 (8-oz.) packages cream cheese, softened 
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 3 large eggs 
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 
• 1 1/2 cups sour cream 
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 2/3 cup crushed hard peppermint candies
• Sour Cream Cake Layers:
• 1 (18.25-oz.) package white cake mix
• 2 large eggs 
• 1 (8-oz.) container sour cream 
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil 
• White Chocolate Mousse Frosting:
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 cup white chocolate morsels
• 2 cups whipping cream 
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Garnishes: White chocolate curls, peppermint candies

1. 1. Prepare Peppermint Cheesecake Layers: Preheat oven to 325°. Line bottom and sides of 2 (8-inch) round cake pans with aluminum foil, allowing 2 to 3 inches to extend over sides; lightly grease foil. Beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, and 2 Tbsp. butter at medium speed with an electric mixer 1 to 2 minutes or until creamy and smooth. Add 3 eggs, l at a time, beating until blended after each addition. Add flour and next 3 ingredients, beating until blended. Fold in candies. Pour batter into prepared pans. Place cake pans in a large pan; add water to pan to depth of 1 inch.
2. 2. Bake at 325° for 25 minutes or until set. Remove from oven to wire racks; cool completely in pans (about 1 hour). Cover cheesecakes (do not remove from pans), and freeze 4 to 6 hours or until frozen solid. Lift frozen cheesecakes from pans, using foil sides as handles. Gently remove foil from cheesecakes. Wrap in plastic wrap, and return to freezer until ready to assemble cake.
3. 3. Prepare Sour Cream Cake Layers: Preheat oven to 350°. Beat cake mix, next 3 ingredients, and 1/2 cup water at low speed with an electric mixer 30 seconds or just until moistened; beat at medium speed 2 minutes. Spoon batter into 3 greased and floured 8-inch round cake pans.
4. 4. Bake at 350° for 15 to 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks, and cool completely (about 1 hour).
5. 5. Prepare White Chocolate Mousse Frosting: Cook 2/3 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring often, 3 to 4 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Add morsels; cook, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes or until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature (about 30 minutes), whisking occasionally.
6. 6. Beat cream and 2 tsp. vanilla at high speed with an electric mixer 1 to 2 minutes or until soft peaks form. Gradually fold white chocolate mixture into whipped cream mixture, folding until mixture reaches spreading consistency.
7. 7. Assemble Cake: Place 1 cake layer on a cake stand or plate. Top with 1 frozen cheesecake layer. Top with second cake layer and remaining cheesecake layer. Top with remaining cake layer. Spread top and sides of cake with frosting. Chill until ready to serve. Garnish, if desired.

Easy All Natural Fudge Recipe

everydayliving™: Easy All Natural Fudge Recipe:

This easy and delicious fudge recipe calls for protein-rich almond butter and antioxidant-rich raw chocolate powder, making it a decadent treat that is much healthier than conventional store-bought fudge.  

Although this fudge is made with all-natural ingredients, it is best to eat only one or two small pieces at a time, as eating honey-rich foods can stress one's blood sugar-regulating mechanisms.

The Feng Shui Way

Feng shui is an ancient Chinese practice that helps achieve a harmonious living environment in order to promote happiness and prosperity in one's life.  Here are a few ideas to enhance the energy flow around your home: Fire & Ice - Essential oils, crystals, candles and water features such as fountains and fish bowls will bring calm and balance into your home. Mirror, Mirror - The strategic placement of mirrors helps improve feng shui by drawing more sunlight into otherwise murky rooms and by expanding narrow areas such as hallways. De-clutter - Clearing your home of clutter will introduce a smoother flow of energy.  Clutter is a sign of trapped energy so be ruthless and get rid of everything you don’t need. Think Outside the Nest - Make sure the path to your front door is unobstructed and place a few plants and wind chimes on your porch.  Birds bring great energy so add a few feeders in your backyard. Feng shui emphasizes that our physical surroundings have an impact on our emotional well being so it’s important to be aware of how we arrange the space in our home.  Buyers often feel certain vibes when they enter a home so a "harmonious feel" could be the difference between a quick sale and one that drags on.

Assassination: The Royal Family's 1000-Year Curse
By David Maislish

Never told before, Assassination is the revelation of a 1000-year curse that has shaken the monarchy from Canute to Elizabeth II. After years of painstaking research, David Maislish uncovers the murder or attempted murder of every single King and Queen. 




Here is English history without the things that sent us to sleep in school; instead brought to life with a series of royal murders and near murders. Read how a quarter, perhaps as many as half, of our Kings and Queens were killed - even one in the twentieth century. It is all in Assassination - the Royal Family's 1000-year curse.

Skin Care Chronicle: Chemical-Free Skin Health: By Bob Root Chemical-Free Skin Health

This is a perspective on the chemical world we live in and why I believe all of us should be concerned for our lives, the lives of our families, friends and the animals that share our lives. It is not intended to scare you, although it might. It is really to draw attention to what our lives have become and the chemicals, companies and products that rule it. 

Our skin is our largest and most vulnerable organ. Love it and it will love you. Protect it and it will protect you. Abuse it and it will shorten your life. There have been more chemicals developed in the last twenty years than in all of mankind.

everydayliving™: Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

everydayliving™: Roasted Pumpkin Seeds:


Perfect for snack time, roasting your own pumpkin seeds is simple, tasty and fun. We give you a few options for spicing up these crunchy goodies, or feel free to make your own spice combinations.

Ingredients: 1 medium pumpkin4 cups water1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oilMethod: Preheat oven to 250°F. Cut off top 3 to 4 inches of pumpkin then scoop out seeds onto a clean work surface. Discard stringy fiber from seeds along with any seeds that are split or cracked then transfer to a strainer and rinse well. (You should have about 2 cups of seeds.)


In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Add seeds, reduce heat and boil gently for 10 minutes. Drain well then transfer to a paper towel-lined sheet tray and pat dry.

Transfer seeds to a medium bowl, toss with oil and spread out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast seeds, stirring every 10 minutes or so, until just crisp and golden brown, about 1 hour total. (They will become crispier as they cool.) Set aside to let cool completely then shell or eat whole. 



For spicy pumpkin seeds, mix 1/2 teaspoon each garlic salt, cumin, coriander and cardamom with seeds and oil before roasting. 
For sweet pumpkin seeds, mix 1 teaspoon each ground cinnamon, cloves and ginger and 1 1/2 tablespoons dark brown sugar with seeds and oil before roasting.

New Injectable on the horizon targets the chin

http://wrinkleinjections.blogspot.ca/2012/10/new-injectable-on-horizon-targets.html

The advent of Facebook, the IPhone and Skype has placed the double chin front and center. Certainly, the image of yourself you see, using any of these devices, face pointed downward, is likely to be with folds of chin fat.

 Kythera Biopharmaceuticals is capitalizing on this trend. They went public in October 2012 on the strength of ATX-101, an injectable drug aimed at reducing the double chin.

Two healthy recipes with kale |

Kale is one of the healthiest vegetables available and packs the most nutrients for only 36 calories per cup. It's also super delicious and can be substituted in place of spinach in many dishes. Here are two recipes from the Book of Kale that we're sure you'll love.

Kale gomae


My friend Wendy MacDonald consulted with her Japanese sewing class friends to learn just exactly what is in gomae dressing. Lo and behold, there are only three ingredients. This is just like the dish you would be served in a Japanese restaurant—but made with kale instead of spinach.


Note: A suribachi is a low ceramic grinding bowl etched with grooves that comes with a wooden implement called a surikogi. It has a rounded end, and is very useful for grinding spices and other things like ginger and garlic for curry paste.

Ingredients:

4 Tbsp (60 mL) sesame seeds

1 Tbsp (15 mL) mirin

1 Tbsp (15 mL) light Japanese soy sauce or regular tamari

4 cups (1 L) tightly packed young kale leaves
Directions:
1. Toast sesame seeds by shaking them in a small cast-iron or other heavy-bottomed pan over medium-low heat. It won’t take long so don’t leave the stove; keep shaking until the seeds become lightly fragrant and slightly darkened, but not browned.

2. In a suribachi or mortar and pestle (or food processor, but the suribachi is much groovier!), grind the toasted sesame seeds, mirin and soy until a kind of thin paste results.

3. Lightly steam the kale for about 1 minute in very little water. Drain thoroughly, squeezing all the liquid out. On each small plate, place one-quarter of the kale leaves, squeezed together tightly into the traditional boxy gomae shape, or make little mounds. Drizzle the dressing on the kale with a little extra around the plate, and eat your Kale Gomae with chopsticks.

Serves 4.

Kale and goats with bows

Not goats, but goat’s cheese. Just trying to keep you awake! Any variety of kale is fine in this easy pasta dish—everything is cooked in one pot. Feel free to use mature leaves as they’ll be whirled with goat cheese to create a strikingly green pesto that melts into the hot pasta. If you have calendula in your garden, be sure to garnish the pasta with some edible orange petals—nasturtiums work too.
Ingredients:

6 large garlic cloves, peeled

2 or 3 small shallots, peeled

8 cups (2 L) kale leaves, packed

12 oz (about 350 gr) dried farfalle (bowtie pasta)

8 oz (225 gr) soft goat’s cheese, plus extra for topping

3 Tbsp (45 mL) pine nuts

Salt and black pepper

3 Tbsp (45 mL) lemon juice

½ cup (125 mL) extra virgin olive oil

Fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the garlic and shallots and boil gently for 4 minutes. Add kale leaves and continue to boil for another minute. Watch the pot—you want the kale to remain bright green.

2. Using a slotted spoon, remove kale to a colander. Scoop out the garlic and shallots and transfer them to the bowl of a food processor. Leave pot with water at a boil. Drop pasta into the boiling water.

3. While pasta is cooking, squeeze excess moisture from kale. Add to food processor along with the cheese, pine nuts, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Process while adding olive oil slowly, until mixture is creamy. Let pesto mixture stand until pasta is cooked to the desired texture.

4. Drain pasta well and combine with pureed mixture. Before serving, sprinkle with extra goat’s cheese and fresh thyme leaves if you have them.

Serves 4 as a main course.

How to break the emotional bond and throw out...

by: Sarah Treleaven

If you're anything like me, you have a lot of stuff but you only really notice it when you move. This happened to me recently and, as I filled box after box, I was incredulous at the sheer volume of clothes, books and completely random knickknacks I own.


There were things I had forgotten I own - which provides a bit of a thrill upon rediscovery - but also provides a hint at just how unnecessary that particular item is to my life.
