Hello everyone,聽 yesterday turned out to be quite a busy day for me, from food shopping for different recipes, walking Charlie, catching up with some friends on Skype that I have not spoken to in a while, and working on different projects which are all just very exciting. 馃檪聽 Easter is coming up very quickly, well for us our Easter (Greek Easter) is on April 8th, so we have a couple of more weeks. I am hoping to make the traditional Greek Cookies that we have during Easter time.聽 (My arm has been acting up on me again with all the weather changes and it has been strapped up with a band)
Come to think of it the Easter Cookie recipe is how I actually met my blogging buddy, and dear friend Dee dee from Invisible-no-more.聽 I had just started blogging and I was searching for blogs that expressed what I was interested in and I came across Dee dee鈥檚.聽 Some of Dee dee鈥檚 post were so funny and some so touching, that I commented on one of them and she replied. 馃檪 Dee dee asked me if I had a recipe for the Greek Easter Cookies鈥 sent the recipe and she made them last year & posted them on her blog, the cookies looked so good!!聽
Dee dee has a special place in my heart. 馃檪
I wasn鈥檛 going to do any cooking today, I had some leftover Pastichio that I had made so I was just going to bake a cake. 馃檪聽 The cake started out as聽 a basic Vanilla Cake but I ended up adding Cinnamon and Walnuts, don鈥檛 ask why I just felt like I should add something more than just Vanilla, and it turned out very tasty, with a strong taste of Cinnamon.聽 馃檪
