Beef Tacos

Tina2 Comments

I’m throwing a taco party. Seriously, doesn’t a taco party sound like so much fun?!  You can set up a buffet with a whole bunch of taco ingredients and let everyone make their own tacos.  We had a taco party for 2 at home this past weekend and the only thing missing was the loud music. Usually we use a pre-made taco seasoning mix to flavor our taco meat (depending on the day, we use beef, ground turkey, or ground chicken).  However, lately I haven’t liked it.  Maybe my taste buds are changing or maybe the bottle is old.  Whatever the reason, I was …

Chocolate Chia Mousse

Tina0 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 …

Cold Sesame Noodles

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 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 …

How to Steam Broccoli Without a Steamer

Tina6 Comments

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)

Tina81 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 …
