Let me show you a
small detail from our weekend. We celebrated the name day of my daughter,
Zselyke. True, the name day is already over, but the second child is not the
first. But I think we could finally make her feel special. The only thing I
feel sorry for is that I could not really take photos of the balloons because
they flew away too early. I hope you also had a great weekend.
The soft creamy cheese is a really good match
with strawberries: it is the goat’s cheese that makes these muffins really
exciting. But the best part is definitely the amaretto biscuit crumbs on the
top. And you can prepare them extremely quickly. Although they are not really for
children, still, they could try the muffins.
