Atayef are small, light, and fluffy pancakes. In this recipe they are filled with a walnut mixture, then shaped in half-moons and fried. It is served with sugar syrup. A lip-smacking Lebanese dessert!

Everyone, who has visited Greece, or has friends who are Greek has tried either Baklava, or Galaktoboureko, or even both since these Greek Pastries are well known. There is also one more yummyyyy and mouthwatering tasty cake, we like to call Karydopita, otherwise known as Walnut Cake. Whole pieces of Walnuts with Cognac in a nice piece of moist cake….does it get any better than that? Well, maybe with the exception of Chocolate …..:)

This recipe like so many I have is adapted to make a quick yet delicious dessert..taking apart different desserts to come up with something unique..a make ahead type of dessert that you can create as you have the time

David Tanis shared this recipe in The New York Times. These unusual cookies have a slightly soft center, with a crisp exterior. They pair exceptionally well with an espresso.

I used to always buy croquants whenever I walked by my favorite bakery. So I tried making easy croquants.Bake until the bottoms turn a caramel colour while checking on them occasionally. When they have mostly cooled down, remove from the molds gently, and let cool some more. Recipe by Yukirinrin

My Greek Yiayia (meaning Grandmother in Greek) raised me after my mom died when I was 6 years old. She is from the Peloponnese part of Greece and she always made Baklava and other Greek foods as well. We lived in ALABAMA so she used the pecans from her pecan tree. This was a task because she gathered, cracked and cleaned all of the pecans herself and then milled them with an old fashioned hand turned grinder that she clamped to the side of the kitchen table. She made everything from scratch and I am truly blessed to be raised by her !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ #baklava #greek
