Skillet Potatoes

January 15th, 2021Tina0 Comments

I love when I can take one basic recipe and turn it into a bunch of different dishes. These potatoes are as basic as it gets. I like to make a big batch of these skillet potatoes so that we can have leftovers. Yes folks, I’m intentionally trying to get leftovers. That’s not like me since I don’t tend to care for leftovers because I get bored of them easily. However, I don’t really get bored of leftover potatoes because every meal can be completely different than the last one. We have enjoyed these potatoes at breakfast with eggs and …

Skillet Chicken

January 12th, 2021Tina2 Comments

We make this skillet chicken all the time. This chicken is on rotation because it’s easy to make and it’s so versatile. We keep it simple and only season it with salt and pepper. There are no fancy long lists of ingredients here on purpose because sometimes I’m just not in the mood to deal with that. You know, it’s that feeling of “I want good food with no fuss.” We like to make at least 4 thighs and and store them in the fridge for leftovers. We prefer the chicken thighs with bone and skin but then remove the …

If you throw some feta cheese and Kalamata olives into a dish, then you’ve got the beginnings of something Greek and delicious. If you’re not familiar with my blog then I’m here to tell you that I’m a huge fan of Greek cooking. (I am half Greek so it comes with the territory.) That means that I have a number of Greek salads and other savory and sweet recipes in my recipe box (i.e. recipe index). I love this Greek orzo salad for lunch. You’ve got some hearty orzo, a little protein from the chick peas, a little Greek flavor …

German Potato and Hard Boiled Egg Salad

January 5th, 2021Tina2 Comments

You know it’s January when you go from cookie to salad recipes. I’m not the kind of person who starts diets at the beginning of the new year. However, the fact is that I did indulge over the holidays and so now it’s back to eating a more balanced diet. I eat salads for lunch often, especially since we started working from home last March. I’m always trying to come up with new ways to make salads more pretty and exciting to keep me interested, which is where this salad comes in. I’ve always been a fan of German potato …

Christmas Drop Sugar Cookies

December 25th, 2020Tina0 Comments

Merry Christmas! I had one last Christmas cookie to share with you and I thought it would be appropriate to share it on Christmas day. Many of you will have fewer family members hanging out with you for the holidays and a new cookie might be something fun to make with the ones you have. These are not just any ordinary sugar cookie. You don’t have to roll out these sugar cookies into shapes. Plus, traditional sugar cookies are crispy, but these sugar cookies are soft. It’s thanks to the little bit of cream cheese, that gives them that pillowy …
