I think this will be my favorite recipe of 2018. I know it’s probably too early in the year to say that I have a favorite recipe, but I really love this spanakopita (aka spinach pie).  Let’s just say that I’ve set a high standard for all recipes that follow this one. Spanakopita is usually made in a big pan to serve a lot of people.  If you’re my Yiayia (Greek grandma), then you make it in a very big pan.  You know, because Greeks like to make enough food to feed an army no matter how many people are …

This is one of the coolest meals I’ve ever made. I saw this idea on Instagram months ago and I’ve been dying to try my own version of it.  Picture a traditional baked ziti, except here the ingredients are stacked in reverse order and you place a serving plate upside down over a ramekin and turn the plate and ramekin over.  Presto change-o, you’ve got an right-side up ziti.

Sometimes I’m okay with it, other times it weirds me out completely and I don’t even want to open the jar.  I’ll eat mayo in a salad or on a sandwich if there’s not a lot of it and if it looks appetizing.  Even better if I don’t know it’s even in there, or at least didn’t have to be the one to apply it.  When I do decide it’s a worthy meal additive, I anticipate that I’ll only eat a few bits and skip the rest on my plate but then I proceed …
