Baking With This Lot...Greek Food, YUMMM!

Shane, the girls and I spent a couple of days baking some Greek treats for Easter. Honey syrup cookies (melomakarona) are our family favourites. Melomakarona are traditionally baked at Christmas time, however, our family bakes them any time of the year, they are to good to wait until Christmas to enjoy them.
The other cookies are called koulourakia, they are an Easter cookies, lovely eaten washed down with a tea or coffee.
We also boiled and dyed eggs which is part of our Greek Easter tradition.

Delicious Melomakarona...

Koulourakia...

We celebrated Good Friday with church and baking, and Easter Sunday at church. I then cooked us a huge Greek Easter dinner to celebrate Easter and Elissa's baptism (the girls were hanging for a Greek Easter traditional meal).

I Love passing on our family traditions to the Girls. Before they get married and move out of my home, they will know how to bake these sweets inside out.

Hope everyone had a GREAT one!
Love,
Dimi xo
