Greek Tacos

August 3rd, 2015Tina12 Comments

Can someone explain to me how “Taco Tuesday” became a thing? Yes, folks, this is as serious as it gets for a Monday. I love tacos, but husband really loves them. It’s pretty much his answer to everything. What should I make this weekend, babe? Tacos. What kind of dessert should we serve when my parents come over? Tacos. It’s tacos all the time for my hubby. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Needless to say we happily eat them on any night of the week, not just on Tuesdays. For those of you who elitists and only eat tacos on Tuesdays, you can save this recipe for …

Giant Blueberry Hand Pie

July 31st, 2015Tina14 Comments

Is it bad when your laziness is the inspiration for a recipe? My husband has been after me to make my Strawberry Hand Pies again. The last crumb of those wasn’t even gone and he was already putting in his request. That made me happy because I knew I had a real winner of a recipe. Here’s the clincher… Even though the strawberry hand pies are crazy delicious, they are a pain in the butt to make… at least for me. The steps are actually quite easy, but the perfectionist in me takes it to a whole other level (and not a good one). …

Best… Hummus… Ever

Here’s the second installment in my Best Ever series! What’s it all about? Click here to get the scoop and get some chips ready to scoop up this uh-mazing dip. Today I’m sharing with you the, Best… Hummus… Ever. It all started when I wanted a good hummus recipe that didn’t require tahini (which is a common ingredient in hummus). To be honest, I thought I’d make it once and realize that tahini was in fact necessary for a hummus to be awesome. I was wrong. You don’t even notice the tahini is missing. It’s tasty and everyone goes crazy over it. …

Funfetti Doughnuts

Sprinkles and doughnuts… is there a better way to start a Monday? I think not. I’ve been chatting about our family trip that we took to Lake George, NY last weekend. We have a specific morning ritual everyday. My youngest sister and I start with iced coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts. Then we all head to my parents’ motel room for breakfast. Maybe someone will have a Cinnamon Roll, or a Sticky Bun, or both (yes, really), or a Strawberry Hand Pie, or Peach Blueberry Scones, or The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie, or you get the idea. Yes, those are really some of the goodies I’ve bought …

Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies

July 24th, 2015Tina6 Comments

Tomorrow marks five months to Christmas. Crazy talk, right? I watched a week of Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel (their Christmas in July celebration). The stores are bringing out their Fall collections and the fashion bloggers are already showing off their Fall fashion trends. So I guess you could say that all that has put me in the mood for baking cookies, my typical Christmastime activity. Plus, I had to make cookies for my annual family trip to Lake George, NY. It’s tradition so if I didn’t show up with something I might have had a riot on my hands. …
