I wanted to make hot cross buns for Easter, but I am not a fan of the traditional currants and spices. I enjoyed this recipe and made the following changes to suit my tastes: (they came out very good and I got compliments on them at a pre-Easter party) I substituted 3/4 cups dried blueberries for the currants and 1 tsp lemon zest for the cinnamon. For the glaze, I added a drop or two of lemon extract to the other ingredients. These changes made the buns have a nice spring flavor - if you are willing to break with the traditional.

A friend's mom had made these cookies years ago and I really liked them. Although there are amny variations of this recipe, I like this one the best. I am a fan of the almond flavor and the cream cheese. Plus these look very pretty for the holidays.

This is one of my favorite coconut cake recipes. My only suggestion is that you only put half of the condensed milk mixture on the cake. All of it is just too much.
