It is one of my favorite weeks of the year, American Thanksgiving! I miss the Thanksgiving days of old already and it is only my first year away from the United States.

Autumn in New York Cream Pie

Autumn In New York Cream Pie

Today it is Athanasia’s father’s birthday! So, Happy Birthday George! What better way is there to share the joy of a birthday than making a birthday treat? When Athanasia (my better half) and I were discussing the options for a sweet treat, I came up with this idea. I will admit, Athanasia was a little bit hesitant (because of her dislike for cinnamon) so she said to me: “sell me on it”. Well, I am proud to say after she tried it she is not only sold on it, but is a believer! The flavor reminds me of autumn in New York; warm colors, crisp air and bursting with flavor! Try it for yourself, it’s the perfect autumn treat! Continue reading Autumn in New York Cream Pie
