As usual, I had a business meeting re this blog — with my mum. And the subject came up about her famous orange spiked cheesecake with a delicious strawberry swirl. Speaking about that Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake from a few months back…I knew in my heart and soul that you will all appreciate a sweet vanilla strawberry nectar swirled inside and paired with her cheesecake.

Something about that combination results in the most beautiful flavour and tender meatballs....

I’d jump up and down for an everything bagel, while my brothers went for the asiago or cinnamon raisin options. No, thanks! As an adult, I’ve begrudgingly come to realize that white bread doesn’t make me feel very good. So, I opt for whole grain bagels when bagels present themselves, even though what I really want is an everything bagel....
