Orange Ginger honey Cakes ( mini cakes de miel, jengibre y naranja)

Here is a new recipe for this Christmas time.  I love Christmas  and usually the smell of spices reminds me of everything my mother did, this is my second Christmas without her and it's really difficult, when I'm sad I miss talk to her.   And I know  it makes me especially sensitive and I try to continue and dont think so much.. I love these honey, ginger and orange cakes and love  the color, that's why I like to cook and especially bake, apart from being a relax there are always new things to experience. I hope to make another Christmas recipe but in any case I wish you a very merry Christmas with peace and love I appreciate all yours comments : thanks Source:  Two cups flour Orange ginger honey cakes Ingredients 2 cups  (250) all purpose flour 2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoon ground ginger 1 tablespoon orange zest 6 tablespoons unsalted butter browned 3/4 cup (270 g) honey 2 tablespoon orange juice 1/2 (125 ml) cup whole milk  2 eggs 1/4 cup (5

Black cherry almond ripple semifreddo (Semifreddo de cerezas con almendras)

I think  maybe is  the first time that  Christmas is so close and  Im in  this state of mind (not even when my mother died) . (sad and exausted) All days is a fight, it's all so uncertain, you don't know what will happen, when we will be calmer anyway you  don't know nothing. And  of course I support the demands, and  this government has committed many injustices and caused a lot of pain.  Oh well... I have started to put myself in Christmas spirit and decided that I want to start cooking  about Christmas. This Black cherry Semifreddo is delicious for every season you can make with other fruits or with frozen cherries. Sometimes  semifreddo is better than Ice cream and is really easy , usually I make at night, freeze and  you can serve to the following day. Adapted from : Girl in the little red kitchen lots of love to all !! The recipe Ingredients 3/4 cup granulated white sugar 4 large egg yolks 1 1/2 cups heavy cream 1 teaspoon almond extract 1 cup silvered almonds toasted

Chocolate brownie muffins ( brownies /muffins de chocolate)

I had several recipes ready but it took me some time  start the posts, honestly it's hard  think what to talk about, maybe from here? of the current situation, of sorrows and distress, or  about Christmas that is so close and I love Christmas? Although I am not normally depressed, it is hard to keep the spirit when you watch the news, when there are fires, looting and other things, how did this come about? I dont know. Apart from praying, reading and baking (catharsis) I try to think about Christmas. Even in the most difficult times people celebrate Christmas, and I believe in God and the birth of Jesus, so I will try to take care of the Christmas spirit. Well, apart from continuing to make jams (apricots are maturing) and I don't like to bury the fruit so that's what I'm in. This recipe for "Brownie muffins" has the best of everything, it is a muffin with the taste of a brownie. Thank you all for your mails, love and concern, hugs and  kisses to all ! Source

Pears and strawberry Crumble (Crumble de peras , almendras, coco y frutillas)

If you ask me right now  which season I like best, I would say it is autumn so far.  Sincerely at this time I would be happy to be in Autumn and winter will come. But we are at the end of spring and starting with a very hot summer ,  and   with all the problems we are living here  in our  country now   is very hard. (Many fights here in many sites that is worry me) You can go out one day and you do not know if there will be subway or buses.  Or maybe you have an appointment with the kinesiologist and nobody tells you that he left earlier or that date was suspended, anyway. And when you ask why happens this, all say but you know the times we are living. Im not agree with it. In the middle of this I try to keep doing things like baking, reading and pray (like always reading is my my joy) And  I pray a lot by different reasons. Please pray   for for our country  we need it.  I made my first strawberry jam and I hope to make apricots jam soon. And I  made this crumble a few weeks ago (time
