Since it is still cold and spring has forsaken us and since
I am going through a major cold / illness with fever and soar throat and
menthols and chamomile to soothe my stomach aches, I decided to use my natural
medicine to bake something nice. Of course I know that spring will come at some
point, and I will be regretting all the junk food eating I have been doing to
comfort my grumbling (I am an energetic person. I hate staying in one place for
long. Doing nothing does not agree with me.). But till then, I have to pat
myself in the back, treat myself to delicious snacks (and then suffer the
stomach ache again – my cravings have no end), and just indulge in some remedy –
comfort food until my temperature falls back to normal. Oh, and one more thing.
I would like take this opportunity to tell you about an amazing greek breakfast
blog I have been following called Bread & Tea. I think it is run by an architect from Thessaloniki. Make sure you drop by and
say hi.
I have been such a lazy blogger! I know… I know… it’s just that we have been getting so much sun here in Greece, which is the antidote to all things that are on the news right now. And imatiothiki has been keeping me so busy, that I barely have time to cook. Oh, no. It’s not that I don’t eat – mind you. I just buy my muffins from Starbucks or local bakeries. But I have friends throwing dinner parties and friends having babies and gatherings to attend, so I decided baking delicious cupcakes is the best thing you can bring to a friend. I found this recipe online and it is the best best best recipe I have ever tried concerning cupcakes and cream cheese frosting, so bake away – there’s still plenty of time to lose that extra baggage till summer arrives. I apologize for the lack of photos on this post. This does not mean that they are any less delicious than the other recipes. Enjoy!
I know it’s been a long time since I last paid a visit to my kitchen,but thank God, there’s a lot of work and I have taken upon a new project – imatiothiki! Really really excited about that. But, food is still food, and my sweet tooth finally woke up when my friends and I started planning Maria’s baby shower! What better way to celebrate the arrival of a baby girl, than with muffins filled with cookie dough and cream cheese icing! It may sound too much, but it’s actually super yummy and super easy to make. enjoy! xx*
