This recipe makes a lot of cookies, so its great when you need cookies for a crowd. This is also a good cookie dough to make when you want to freeze some dough balls and bake them later. It holds up well in the freezer for a few weeks. Here are some tips for freezing [...]
These meatballs were the main dish for our little Greek night last week. We ate them with warm pita and feta cheese, and they were delicious. I made a few changes to the original recipe from Fine Cooking magazine, July 2009. I used ground beef instead of lamb, I used bread crumbs from a loaf [...]
Sweet, creamy, rich and wonderful. I made Greek food for dinner on Friday night, and I wanted to make a Greek dessert that wasn’t baklava. I love baklava and have a good recipe for it that hasn’t failed me yet, but I wanted to try something new.
There were so many different recipes and methods for [...]
It makes me so very happy that I will never be forced to buy pre-packaged hummus or pita chips again! Freedom from store bought foods! Ok, so there may be a time when buying a bag of pita chips will be necessary. BUT, if I have the time to make my own, then I will [...]
I must admit this, I was not thrilled about this months challenge at first. Don’t get me wrong. I love cookies. Almost all kinds of cookies. I even like when they take all day to make. My issue with this challenge was that I made one of the cookie recipes a few years ago [...]
This is time consuming, frustrating, quite prep intensive, and not easy. The resulting dish is delicious and worth every drop of sweat and shed tear.

Oh goodness gracious. These cookies were so tasty. I decided to make them at the last minute while doing a little pantry cleaning. I had a bag af mini marshmallows, 2 half bags of chocolate chips, and some leftover cookies I’d made over the weekend that taste like graham crackers. I couldn’t help but think [...]
Breakfast is always a bowl of cereal for Ben. Not only that, he uses the same bowl and sits in the same spot to eat it every morning. I love that about him. I usually eat some fruit and yogurt. Sometimes I make banana bread and we’ll eat that for a few days, and if [...]
A few weeks ago Ben and I went to visit our friends Jason and Carrie in Decatur. Along with having a fun weekend catching up and enjoying our time together we ate some incredible food. Carrie made us empanadas with a chicken, black bean and corn filling. They were crazy good. The empanada dough is [...]
I haven’t had my camera for a few weeks now, but I’d been doing pretty good remembering to take pictures with my iphone. Unfortunately, the last few yummy things I’ve made haven’t been photographed before being consumed. This is one of those things, so here is the picture from The Pioneer Woman’s website, where I [...]
