Chocolate Chia Mousse

February 1st, 2019Tina0 Comments

Have you ever cooked with chia seeds? I often add chia seeds to my smoothies. They contain healthy omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and a lot of other good stuff. I’ve seen a lot of recipes for chia pudding, which sounds delicious. Why haven’t I tried that before? I decided to make some the other day. When I took the first bite I quickly remembered that I did try it before and I didn’t like it. It turns out that I still don’t like it. It was boring and the seeds turn into a weird texture, almost slimy, when they sit …

This is a meatless lunch and I’m loving it. If you’re familiar with me or my blog then you know that I live for easy lunches that I can make ahead of time to bring to work. I’ve noticed that I eat healthier when I prep my lunches on Sunday before the busy week. I’d bet that many of you feel the same way as me. So today I have a new favorite lunch. I saw this recipe on Instagram a few months ago and I couldn’t wait to try it. It had my name written all over it. I …

My husband and I make this broccoli at least once a week. I can’t tell you how many times we’ve made this broccoli. Seriously, too many times to count. So to say it’s tested, tried and true is an understatement. I never thought about sharing this as a recipe, because well, I don’t know why. I think it may be just because it’s too easy and is too obvious to bother. But aren’t easy recipes the best to share? Yes. So now I’m finally sharing it with you. This broccoli is nothing fancy, but it sure is tasty. It’s a …

Spinach Pie (Spanakopita)

January 18th, 2019Tina80 Comments

It looks like celery juice is a food trend this year. I’ll pass. However, I do have an green food option for you if you’re into that sort of thing, except this option is delicious. I’ve had a lot of spinach pie. Being Greek, that’s to be expected. 😉 If you asked 10 people to make it then I bet you’d get 10 different varieties. I’m sure most, if not all, would be delicious in their own way. When my husband and I visited Greece several years go we had a spinach pie in a spiral form at a truck …

Giant Batch of Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies

I’m sorry. If you’re working on your new year’s resolution of eating healthy, this recipe is not going to make that easy. I’m not sorry to be sharing one of our favorite recipes of all time however. While I was busy baking all sorts of cookies during the holidays for friends and family, my husband wanted to whip up a batch of chocolate chip cookies, some to share with guests and some to indulge ourselves without feeling guilty for sneaking from the other piles of cookies that were really set aside to give away. My husband only makes chocolate chip cookies in …
