All You Need: For the Crust: 1/2 cup (approximately) Coconut flour 1 teaspoon Cinnamon 3 Tablespoons Splenda 1/2 cup butter, melted For the Filling: 4 Blocks of Cream Cheese (8 oz per block), room temperature 3/4 cup Splenda 1/2 can Coconut Cream* 3 large eggs, room temperature 1 teaspoon vanilla Springform pan or cheesecake pan Oven Optional: 1/4 cup Key Lime Juice (I use this one ) * - instead of buying coconut cream, buy full fat coconut milk (like this) and refrigerate overnight. The cream rises to the top and semi-hardens. Use this and discard the liquid. What You Do: Preheat oven to 350°. In a medium bowl, mix the Splenda, cinnamon, and melted butter. Add coconut flour a tablespoon at a time until crumbly texture is achieved. (Coconut flour is highly absorbent and it doesn't take a lot.

Materials: I'm using the Kilim Blanket knitting kit from We Are Knitters. It comes with: 7 balls of The Petite Wool (My color selection is: Color A - Ochre; Color B - Blush; Color C - Olive) 8mm Knitting Needles Tapestry Needles Pattern booklet The Wordy Bit It's official: I've started knitting! I have spent quite a lot of time since receiving my kit going over knitting videos and reading articles about technique and execution. I have practiced a long-tail cast on more times than I can count. But this past week, I went beyond my cast on and started making stitches! As a crocheter, and as someone who's never seen someone knit in person, figuring out how to handle the yarn and needles took a lot of getting used to.
