Sharing some new recipes I found on different blogs, I decided to make a post on it as I realize sharing it on Facebook won’t reach all my readers, plus its easier for me to find it again when I need them! I love these three new recipes and thought I should have them all in one collection!
They’re all desserts and they’re all so good! Hope you enjoy one or all three of them as much as we did!
Laz Böreği in Turkish, Galaktoboureko in Greek is a dessert made with custard and filo, unlike Napoleons or Mille-Feuille the custard is baked in the pastry. This dessert is a specialty in the region of Rize Turkey off the coast of the Black Sea, where my father in laws fathers family originates from. It has a funny name when you think about it, burek is a savoury dish, and this is a dessert! I wonder how it got its name!
In Albania my grandmother said that people would make baklava with a custard filling using milk and trahana, because the walnuts were expensive back when she was a young girl. She doesn’t remember though if it had a particular name for it, as she left Albania when she was 16.
My grandma actually made baklava with homemade filo dough, could you just imagine that! Making super thin layers of dough like that, she was a really hard working lady, and I can only imagine how delicious it was.
Berry Crepe Cake! Doesn’t that sound berrylicious? It sure is, ahh I haven’t had fresh berries in forever, well not since the summer.
Hubby went shopping in the States and saw these organic strawberries and raspberries, so he got me some…so sweet:)
I was so excited and couldn’t decide on how to enjoy them, I didn’t want to just eat them…I wanted to make something fabulous!
One of my favourite cakes to make in the winter, its comforting and the aroma of cinnamon and apples is so inviting! So call a couple of friends over…put a pot of coffee on, and enjoy some yummy coffee cake! I am sure they will love you for it!
A couple months ago I tried this delicious lemon cake, the frosting was so light and fluffy, the cake was moist and and I can’t believe that I am admitting this…I ate 2 big pieces! I just love cake! Especially layered cakes, wedding cakes, birthday cakes….I just love any cake really!
Now I was on a quest to find the perfect lemon cake recipe! Well I tried a couple of times, and failed! Well it tasted fine, but I wasn’t crazy about the texture, I like moist and soft light cakes, not dense or dry cakes. So till I come up with that perfect recipe, were gonna have to make do with the frosting!
If you follow me on Facebook you may recall a status a few weeks ago, I mentioned my son asking me to make Rice Krispie squares for his class project. One of the comments from Cyndi mentioned to make s’mores Krispies with Golden Grahams, thank you Cyndi! Thing is I haven’t seen that cereal in a long time! It was my hubby’s favourite childhood cereal, but for some reason I thought we didn’t have any in Canada!
Every year my girls throw a party, and they pick a theme…each time its totally different. This year it was M&M’s and M&M colours, we picked orange as the main colour, its bright, fun and its one of my favourite colours;)
I got my inspiration for this cake from bakerella! Her site is the first site that I found when I started looking up blogs and recipes online… she is so talented, really admire her work and passion! Yes I am a fan:)
I finally did it! I took the time to properly measure the ingredients and wrote it out for you all! We love cinnamon rolls! One of my earliest memories is my mom baking cinnamon rolls, she learned to make them as a kid in Sweden. She would add raisins and sometimes walnuts in the filling. The thing is as I mentioned in a another post is that they would become dry quickly…it took some experimenting till I found the secret to making them soft!
We love sweet potato casseroles, and pies! I find that many recipes out there are just too sweet! Its probably why I never use to care for sweet potato casseroles, until I started to make my own!
Sweet potatoes are already sweet, so I just use 1/2 cup brown sugar for the filling, if you happen to love ‘sweet’ sweet potato casserole by all means add more sugar, this amount is enough for us!:)
