Happy Easter

Hot Cross Buns were the perfect morning treat with a hot cup of coffee by the fire on Sunday Morning. Dried fruit, orange oil and the sweet frosting.

The Irish Soda Bread with golden raisins was made to accompany Trina's very yummy lamb stew. The savory stew was served over mashed potatoes in a bowl. Here's to a beautiful spring full of new discoveries and beginnings.

Hot Cross Buns

The first batch of hot cross buns is complete. I remember as a child our hot cross buns had bits of dried fruit and currants, but this batch has only golden raisins or sultans as the Irish call them. They also have cinnamon, nutmeg and a shake of allspice. The frosting was touched with a bit of orange oil to bring back the childhood memory of citron! Are you ready for Good Friday?
