Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well..I have recovered from the flu and happy to be feeling better. Thank you all very much for your kind messages, I was so moved. 🙂

This time of year my mom comes over the holidays, and she brought over Melomakarona this is a delicious Greek Christmas Cookie treat that mom makes along with my Aunt Soula. Each year they get together and tackle the kitchen to make Melomakarona and Kourambiethes and share amongst the family . (it’s their little thing they like to do) 🙂

I wanted to share with you the picture and recipe just in case you wanted to tackle this recipe to see this delicious taste. Melomakarona is a sort of egg shaped cookie made with Olive Oil, Honey and Semolina, interesting combination of ingredients right!! 🙂

If you up to trying out the recipe I have step by step instructions but no pictures…:( Sorry, but if you do need any help let me know..I have the expert here for great advice if necessary. 🙂
