An Eastern European pastry with a rich history and cultural significance. They are traditionally made from a simple dough consisting of cream cheese, butter, and flour, and filled with sweet fillings like jam, nuts, or cheese.

Found the original recipe in foodnetwork magazine "The Chocolate" issue. I changed a few things according to my own taste and this decadent chocolate babka only lasted about half day at our counter.

Cherry clafoutis is original from France, and it's usually made with unpitted cherries, which gives the clafoutis almond flavor during the baking. But nowadays we always pit the cherries in order to eat it easier later on, so you can add a little bit almond extract, which will definitely give your clafoutis almond taste without worrying about the pits from the cherries!

Cottage cheese and sour cream make this light and healthy version of strawberry cheesecake.

Make these pretty snow flake cookies look more appealing and attractive by decorating them with Christmas icing. They may look too pretty to put into mouth :)

These cookies are buttery and flakey, love the walnut filling that gives the cookies just enough nuttiness and sweetness. Well balanced flavor, and cute little pockets, just can not have enough of them.

Comparing with original recipe, this healthier version is made with whole wheat flour, half butter and half olive oil. Also decrease icing sugar from 3/4 cup to 1/2 cup, and it's still sweet enough to satisfy your sweet tooth.

No sophisticated baking skills are required to make this super fruity and delicious galette. Slice up the plums and strawberries, roughly roll the dough into a round, placed the fruits over the dough, rustically fold the edges around the fruits. How simple is that, and it tastes absolutely delicious!

This cake can be served alone or with a chocolate sauce.
