A few days ago I made these muffins with blueberries and most of all I wanted to try the paper molds, they are very good because they do not stick or burn.  Now that I see them I think they could also be made for Christmas. We are already so close. I've been watching recipes, I always watch a lot but of course I can not do all of them and I'm on the computer for a while.  But I like to look at everything Christmas and of course I think about my mom. Esperanza wants to make the Christmas Cake my mom made,   it's absolutely delicious,  and really smell like Christmas (by the spices) I did it here  years ago if someone wants to see it, just like stollen , my mom's Christmas cake   is the best I've tasted. The cookies .., Salmon puff pastry . so many things. Once again I know I can not do everything. But Christmas is here and is wonderful :) Pomegranate Jellies My mom's Christmas cake Blueberry Cornmeal muffins with thyme glaze (Adapted from Bake from sc...

This is a really easy and good  recipe, the bad thing is that they are  eaten  very fast. But I loved them. Small cakes with dates and pistachios and with espresso  syrup. For a cup of tea or coffee.

Spring is just starting  here in the Southern hemisphere. But even the mornings are very cold.  But the most beautiful are the roses that have begun to bloom little by little. When we arrived at this house there was nothing, absolutely nothing around, no plants, trees, or flowers. The house was abandoned several years.(all these was about 10 years ago)  And these roses were brought to me( 10 years ago) by a lady who lived close our house  and said : you have to plant these roses, are amazing. We made. They are like a miracle. They have also multiplied over these years.

I was absolutely in love the first time I saw these little cakes and the molds! These delightful little cakes are based in French financiers but are a little lighter and are also quick and easy to make. The basic Friand is an almond base and what then make these then stand apart is the wealth of variations. Make a traditional Friand in a miniature tins but you can use a mini muffin tin. You can serve Friand as part of an afternoon tea or with a cup of tea or coffe. And of course are perfect for parties, picnics or in a lunch box. Note:  I bought my molds in Amazon. com and my favorites are these you  see here, but I have  a silicone mold that is good too!
