Cinnamon Roll Muffins

Mmm, so sticky and sweet irresistible cinnamon rolls.

Don't ask me how he looked like! :-) Well, I love those roll muffins just like the ones with jam or nutella or my favorite pecan rolls.

Oven Baked Doughnuts

I have used the same dough like for the doughnuts fried in a deep oil, but it came out so different. This one was baked in a muffin pan and it's not that greasy at all. Crusty outside, soft and bubbly inside...I love doughnuts!

A Glass of Baileys Pudding

For grown ups only dessert won my respect a few years ago. I don't drink but Baileys is one of a kind, especially in dessert. Nicely combines with chocolate, nuts or whipped cream and the taste is extraordinary. Try it out and serve it to your friends just to see the positive outcome!

Homemade Cherry Pie Filling

The cherry season has just started and I have a lot cherries in my garden. Good thing about it is that everyone in my family loves cherries in all sorts and variations on the table.When you have a lot, you need to figure out how to store them in order to be used through the whole year. My pattern is to put them in a deep freezer and deal with them as necessary. Off course, all of them pitted out...yes, a lot of work but it's much easier later.

Nutella Crepes with Strawberries

Every week I have to bake crepes... The cravings for them are enormous and can't help it. We eat it with jelly, cinnamon and sugar, cacao and sugar, all sorts of pudding, whipped cream and fruits (seasonal), poppy seed and sugar, or salty variations. It's better if you eat it strait from the pan. The crepe is crusty in a first few minutes and in this case, Nutella melts on it and gives you an incredible feeling while eating it.

Surprise Muffins

The perfect dessert after any meal is a quick and easy one with a few ingredients. Until my lunch is cooking, and my children away... I have some time to prepare something sweet for a great afternoon. Off course, the dessert doesn't always match everyone's taste, but it's good as long as we have it on the table.

I am grateful for my recipe book which is full of forgotten and tasty recipes.

Hungarian Crepes

Do you like sweetened cottage cheese? Well, this is an extra, unforgettable specialty from Hungary. OK, when I make crepes, the ideas of the stuffing are just coming to me so quickly that I can't decide which one to use. This is the most common in our house, but not liked by everyone. So, I have to make salty as well, to indulge the other members of the family.

You like pizza? Every kind of pizza? Me too! Just talking about pizza brings on my inspiration to bake one. Sometimes it comes out sweet, but most of the times salty wins. This time I used 2 kinds of plums. It came out sticky, sweet, sour and juicy... just the way we love it!
