Are you a cinnamon flavor fan like me? Yes? Well… I guess I got something for you. Again ;) I think I’ve collected quite a good amount of recipes already where cinnamon is the “hero” ingredient. For Example this Cinnamon Roll Bread, this XXL Cinnamon Roll (Cake), a Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread, classic German Cinnamon Stars and many more ;) Now one more cause there is always room for another bake with cinnamon. Mini Cinnamon Wreaths this time. So good! :)
You probably all know Florentines, right? Here in Germany, they are sold all year round in many bakeries and supermarkets. For me, they are actually something I only make for Christmas. I made them for the first time about 10-12 years ago and since then almost every year around Christmas. You see… I like them a lot ;) This year I decided to leave the usual path and try something else with those quite special cookies… that‘s why I ended up with Cranberry Macadamia Florentines this year ;)
I got some cake again for you! Not some regular cake – no – it’s a delicious no-bake cheesecake or better said an Amarettini Mousse Cake. That would be the correct name for it ;) Unfortunately, it is not based on one of my recipes, but that does not mean it is bad…;P Not at all. It’s actually really delicious! So who is the creator of that recipe you may ask? Well… I will tell you in a minute ;)
Here in Germany Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches are not that common – unlike the U.S. ;) As far as I know, kids in America grow up only eating PB&J sandwiches… just kidding! But I heard they are quite popular. Probably like our “Käsebrot” ;) Well… maybe one day the mix of sweet and salty will find it’s way into German kitchens. I like it a lot – that’s why I made this little fella here: a tiny little Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich Cake! ;)
Let’s get started with Christmas baking, shall we? Christmas is not that far away, so it’s a good idea to check some recipes for Christmas cookies you might want to try in the upcoming weeks. To make it easy for you, I got one of my favorite Christmas cookie recipes for you today: Rum Sandwich Cookies! Just for adults and so good! ;P
There are so many things that can be celebrated… not talking about the days the church or the state decided to give you a day off. Nowadays almost every day is a day of celebration. A lot of foods have their day once a year. For example the Day of German Beer, World Bread Day, Pancake Day, a day dedicated to hummus, carrots, apples and much more. Americans are the most creative when it comes to such celebrations. If you take a look at “Foodie Calendars” online, you will see that most of those days have been created and are celebrated in the U.S. I don’t think all of those days are really necessary, but some days I really like ;)
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
