Today at work was exhausting, so I was happy to go back to Zumba (after a long hiatus) afterwards. I LOVE the music and just being able to have fun while working out! I don’t always get all the moves right, but I figure as long as I’m moving that’s all that matters 🙂
I had more randomness for dinner tonight – somewhat similar to last night’s dinner, but this time instead of turkey/pepperoni/cheese, I had celery sticks with buffalo hummus. I took a couple tablespoons of the copious amount of hummus we have and mixed in a little smoked paprika and Louisiana hot sauce – delicious!
So I’ve never made a cheesecake before. For some reason I had it in my head that it was going to be too hard or complicated or something. I’ve had this recipe for Tropical Mango Cheesecake that I tore out of a local magazine for like 2 years. I finally decided now was the time to make it.
I didn’t have a spring form pan, so I picked one up today! Bonus!
I figured now was a good time to try this special treat since tomorrow is Noah B’s and my anniversary – 5 years! It certainly has been a fun 5 years so far! 🙂
The crust after it’s baked – it’s just coconut, lime zest, a little sugar, and butter.
The filling before it’s baked…I swirled in pineapple and mango fruit spread/preserves. Yummy!
I’ll let you know how it turns out…and most definitely share the recipe if it’s good!
Tomorrow’s Friday! I’m so ready for a fun-filled weekend ahead – anniversary celebration tomorrow night, packet pick-up and hangin’ with my mom on Saturday, then the half marathon in Toledo on Sunday along with some birthday celebration with my family!
