Today letter is L , I chose Lithuania which is officially called Republic of Lithuania is a country in north European continent. Lithuanian cuisine  mainly highlights on the food suitable for the cold weather there which includes : barley, rye, beets, berries etc. The cuisine some what resembles to Scandinavian which another region in northern Europe. I made two amazing desserts from this country .. Oh yeah its dessert again !!! Don’t know Y but desserts are just tempting me badly..A luscious dessert is what I call this pudding made with cranberries.. They are too yummy as they look. This dessert can also be served as an accompaniment but it is so good that you will end up finish them by itself. Lithuanians Serve Kisielius thats what they call the cranberry pudding for  Christmas celebration and this is a special pudding which placed on the dessert table. This pudding is also made for special occasions too. The second one is my fav simply bcoz am lazy some times and I carve for cakes but lazy to bake them so this might be a perfect treat for me . Its so simple and it doesn’t even requires you to bake.My H just loved both the desserts. With No further ado lets move on to the desserts …

      Even I was tempted to pick desserts for most of the countries but self imposed a rule that no desserts for this bm. Oh, you too made those lazy cakes? Nice one. Even the cranberry cake looks good.
