Love is many things. It is varied. One thing love is not, is unsure. ~Maya Angelou.~
In my many years on this beautiful earth, I’ve had the opportunity to learn love comes in many forms. Romantic love is wonderful, so is friendship, family and all the little acts of kindness towards strangers. Love is making people feel seen and heard, and allowing myself to receive the same in return. Because I’ll be honest, I’m all heart. I smother the people I love with Love and there are few things that make me happier. Being honest and open and truthful about how I feel is the core that drives my connections — and drives my writing.
Everyone’s love language is not sending-love-notes, wearing-their-heart-on-their-sleeve, saying-how-they-feel-all-the-time like me. Sometimes it’s quieter, sometimes it’s louder, but once I’ve started taking the time to see how Love, with a capital L, shows up in the world around me, it’s given me a little bit more hope in humanity and made my heart grow about 10 sizes bigger. So love big, your own way.
Now to this sweet, tangy, creamy blood orange no-bake cheesecake with candied almonds running all around it. YUM!
I am not the biggest fan of Baked cheesecakes, although my family does. It’s decadently delicious, can sometimes be a little tricky. I don’t bake cheesecake at home, but I do make this version for my boys. And if you ask me, no-bake cheesecakes are just as smooth, creamy and delicious as their baked counterparts.
It’s as easy as whip, fold, chill and serve. This No-Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake was a huge hit at my house, and I know we’ll be enjoying this often.
