Vanilla Birthday Cake

 
 
Yes, I've finally managed to make a vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream, without any other distraction.  Everything in this cake was vanilla flavored.. I would use vanilla flavored flour if such existed!

Green Tomato Pickles



I know it's not the season for green tomatoes anymore, at least not in Europe. I was lucky to find them in January on the farmers market here in Athens. Of course I couldn't resist, but I so regret I got only 2 kgs.. Pfff

Apple and Cinnamon Hot Cross Buns with Sticky Cinnamon Glaze


 
Hot cross buns are a classic Easter treat in many Christian countries , traditionally baked on Good Friday, but you can find them all year long in every British supermarket.

The first day of the year...

And here I am, in bed with light fever, sore throat, and a Rudolph red, runny nose. Sipping on a hot tea with few drops of rum. Its not how I imagined spending the first day of the year 2016... I guess that is the price you pay for gardening in a cold and windy day.
 

I hope you all had a wonderful time yesterday, celebrating the new beginning. May the 2016 be filled with health, love and success!
I wish you to have delightful little surprises, sunshine of happiness, moonbeam of peace, and oodles of love.
May 2016 be filled with lot of flavors and hopefully less heartburns ;-)
 
Happy New Year Guys!!!
