Lately, it feels like my life is all about cookies and appetizers. Cookies, cookies, cookies.  I’ve been baking them since before Halloween and quite frankly I’m getting a little tired of it (which I say as there is another tray of cookies in the oven).  I feel like I never have enough to hand out to friends and family so I pretty much just keep baking until December 25th (even if my husband is telling me that we have no more room in the freezer). Well, now it’s all about the appetizers (which is bit of a welcome break from baking).  This …

Who doesn’t love a quesadilla? You can make a bazillion different kinds of quesadillas and they’re mad easy to make.  I bet you’ve whipped up some before.  What kind was it?  Was it a hit?  No really, I’d love to know because I’m always looking for more interesting recipes to make.  🙂 Like any good Greek girl, I love spinach pie (aka spanakopita).  Last year I was inspired to take the flavors from it and turn it into a low carb dinner.  The result was a delicious Spinach Pie Spaghetti Squash dish.  The spinach filling was so delicious that my husband …

Football season is starting soon and I’m excited to have some football food. You know about “football food,” right?  It’s beer, pizza, nachos, dips, chips, and other delicious fattening foods that one typically eats at a game party.  Even if you don’t like sports you’d probably still be willing to go to the party to enjoy the food.  It’s that good.  My contribution to the next game party would be this amazing bean salad. Side bar for a moment…  Can we marvel at my culinary cutting skills for a moment?  It took me FOREVER to cut them all just right.  Okay, maybe not literally forever …
