Step by Step Recipe - Cherry Pie

I have so many recipes like this with step by step photos. I made them, because one day I like to make a cook book of my recipes, what I have been collected and made over the years. And one day hopefully will help my children to learn to cook.
I learned this recipe from my brother's wife. Thank you Angie :)
The whole recipe concept is to use the soured cream pot for measuring out the rest of the ingredients.
You will need: -1 pot of soured cream, -2 pot of flour, -1 pot of sugar, -1/2 pot of olive oil (you can use sunflower oil too), -1 sachet of Vanilla Sugar, -1 sachet of Baking Powder, -3 whole eggs, -pinch of salt, -pitted cherry (or you can use peach, plum), -baking paper.
First turn the oven on to 180 Celsius. Put the 1 pot of soured cream in a bowl...

...measure 2 pot of flour and pour it on the soured cream...

...and add 1 pot of sugar to them...

...now 1/2 pot of olive oil (might sound a lot, but it will be not greasy at all)...

...add 1 sachet of Vanilla Sugar...

...and 1 sachet of Baking Powder...

...and last add 3 whole eggs. Mix it all together with a whisk.

I defrosted my hand pitted cherry from the freezer, what my husband and children picked from the cherry tree earlier this year.

Pour the mixture on to the baking try covered with baking paper...

...and level it out with a spoon...

...put the cherry on it and...

...sprinkle some sugar on them. That makes it nice and crispy top when baked.

Put it in the oven and bake it for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.

Let it cool down and slice it up and enjoy :)

Today's picnic

Last Friday I had to post my Etsy orders and it was too late to go back home and have a lunch.
I had a great idea to have a picnic near our local village shop, in the Castle park.
The kids loved my idea, because they love having picnic and I will spend more time with them.

Here is where we had a picnic last Friday, but I was a bit more organized this time...took my camera with me :)


After we posted my Etsy orders we walked to the small grocery shop and bought some bread rolls called "kifli" in Hungarian (my favorite, I missed it so much when we was living in the UK) and some salami. You can see them on the mat.

They are both happy and content after we had some lunch...


My little girl Gigi, took a camera from me and took a picture of Edward and myself :)

When we walked back home I took a photos and just realised how far is the Castle...I put a little red rectangle top of Edward's head. There we have been. No wonder Gigi was tired :)

This field is behind our back garden.


I have really enjoyed a time together...
