Have you noticed how our bodies adjust to the seasons? Or lack of them. I am sure you have. Once hot days hit the land here I shift from yeasted cakes, coffee cakes, heavy chocolate baked goods, cream pasta sauces to something lighter, fruitier and more refreshing. I am really happy with […]
Each day it is warmer outside and soon summer clothes will be a must. With this in mind I checked out my closet yesterday for my favorite last summer pieces and discovered that not all of them fit exactly as they should! Bummer. This requires some action, running action most likely… When […]
I like poppy seeds cakes and buns above all, but my second favorite additions to desserts are apples. I love trying new recipes and discovering new flavors and textures. It is incredible how many different ways there are to mix apples, flour and eggs and maybe butter.
This cake hides a surprise […]
I wish my notes and comments were more wordy (yes, I would consider this a positive thing). I could then tell you that this tart smells like almonds, is crunchy almost like a cookie, and pears are very refreshing addition. I would tell you all that just in many more words.

I am in a deep need of some sunshine and vitamin D and I was so hopeful for some green color here and there and maybe bit higher temperatures. It all crushed few days ago when a small snowstorm hit the area. It looks like winter is not going anywhere any time soon.
To cheer […]
By now you probably can tell that I have kind of.. sort of.. a sweet tooth. If this is news to you just check out previous posts :).
I don’t like nuts in the cakes, but I decided to try this Pecan Coffee Cake just because the picture in the magazine was very appetizing. So […]
