Easter eggs (and more)

One thing I forgot to post pictures of -  the Easter eggs!

You all saw the Angry Bird Easter Eggs we decorated, but we made many different ones too. This are some of the eggs ( at least what was left after the kids raided the kitchen) that we decorated yesterday.

Happy Easter!

* My Easter breads 2011

When my garden starts blooming ( in spite of the cold weather), when I start baking the Easter breads and everything smells of lemon and cinnamon, and when I start smelling the grass in the morning, seeing the bright green blades showing I know it's Spring. It's not Spring, with blooming trees and bees and buzzing everywhere ( yet) but it's Spring enough to make me feel the awakening of everything around me.

I have this tradition to share Easter breads and eggs with my friends and neighbors in memory of the people I have lost and this makes me appreciate the people I have now even more.

I wish all of you happy and healthy year and I hope you enjoy Spring as much as I do! 

P.S If you like my Easter breads, you might want to check out my traditional recipe and my recipe with filling.

Happy Easter with Angry Birds egg coloring!

I was thinking of an unusual way to wish everyone who follows my blog Happy Easter and just before I went to bed I came up with the idea to make Angry Birds Easter eggs and I HAD to share it right away! :-) 

Vit Kozunak ( Easter Bread with filling)

It's this time of the year again, the aroma of freshly baked the Easter breads, lemon and nuts is in the air.
This year I decided to try different recipes than the usual ones and I hope you like what I have to show you in the next 3 days before Easter. The first recipe I called " Vit kozunak" ( Easter bread with a swirl shape) and it's a combination of 2 things. The recipe is a version of the Easter bread recipe from 2010, the shape was inspired by this post of a very talented lady, called Mina. I know, that my shape is a little different, but I wanted to make a "braid" that is open on top and this is what I came up with.
