Why is it that we always want what we don't … [Read more...]
One of the main reason I love summer, besides the heat, is the abundance of berries and fruits. Not only do I love eating them fresh but I also love to cook and bake with them.

I love making cinnamon rolls and I make them quite often, but my husband is not a big fan of cinnamon. So I kept thinking of making these rolls with a different filling.

Do you guys love Pinterest as much as I do? I think I'm addicted to it. I love pinning and I love to see what other have pinned and then repin, repin and repin.

You may see this as just fried dough filled with feta cheese, but for me it's so much more than that. This fried dough makes me very nostalgic. When I was a little girl, growing up in Romania, I went to a gradeschool that was a 5 minute walk from our home. My sister and I would walk to school … [Read more...]
I'm sorry for bringing this brownie to you. But I have to share. It would be insensitive of me to keep this treasure to myself. It's one of the best brownies you'll ever eat. Trust me!

I like … [Read more...]
