Greek Salad

September 16th, 2016Tina2 Comments

How do you make a Greek salad? If you ask 10 Greeks how to make a Greek salad you’ll get 10 different recipes. When my husband and I visited Greece, a Greek salad was considered a plate of feta cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers and maybe olive oil. If that’s what you’re into then check out my recipe for what I call a genuine Greek salad. I think at the end of the day, if you have good feta cheese then you can’t go wrong with whatever else you add to the plate. A few weeks ago I had dinner with my parents and my …

Margherita Naan Pizza

July 25th, 2016Tina0 Comments

Can every night be pizza night? I’m totally serious. I’m the kind of girl who can’t repeat a meal more than two or three times in a row because I get sick of things easily. Pizza however is a different ball game. I could eat pizza every day for, oh I don’t know, is forever too long? (That’s goes for bagels too.) A few months ago I used store-bought Naan in an attempt to satisfy a pizza craving because it was the only bread that I had in the house and it sort of looks like pizza before you’ve done …

Pesto Caprese Zucchini Noodle Salad

I tried a cycle/spin class for the first time. The good news is that I survived. The bad news is that I don’t think I’ll ever go again. Let me back up for a minute. I’ve been taking a kickboxing class at a local karate place for the past three and a half years. I absolutely love it. Unfortunately the owner is no longer offering the class so now I’ve been forced to join a gym. They offer a wide variety of classes so I decided to go outside of my comfort zone and try something new. Go me or …

Avocado Pasta

Avocado and toast. Have you heard of this before? If you haven’t heard of the notorious avocado and toast then you’re getting two recipes from me today. 😉 You toast up some good bread, you add sliced avocado on top, and you season with salt and pepper. It doesn’t sound impressive but I promise you that it’s a life changing meal. You can go crazy and top it with feta cheese, or an egg, or bacon, or crushed red pepper flakes, or your favorite veggies, or really anything goes. I find the simplest version to be the best. I considered blogging …

Greek Sweet Potato Fry Salad

April 4th, 2016Tina4 Comments

“You don’t win friends with salad.” – Homer Simpson. Normally I might agree with Homer, but this salad has a better chance than most. I’ve been craving sweet potato fries for months and I’ve finally made them to satisfy that craving. These sweet potato fries are baked and I happen to think that they are better than some fried ones because they are not greasy. I don’t mind a “fried” fry every now and then but I’m not a fan of them if they’re greasy and limp. Blah… limp. These baked ones are nice and crispy and super simple (no fancy seasoning, just salt …
