Cinnamon Rolls

July 13th, 2015Tina12 Comments

Guys, I couldn’t be more excited to share today’s recipe with you… seriously excited, like you just told a kid they’re going to Disney World kind of excited. I’ll refrain from the screams and eeks, but I’m telling you right now that this is absolutely my favorite recipe this year so far. My husband is the brains behind this creation so I’ll happily turn it over to him. Excuse me while I grab my fat pants. If preparing to make this recipe has taught me anything, it’s that cinnamon roll recipes are as widely varied as they are a pain in the butt …

Galaktoboureko (Greek Creamy Custard Pastry)

April 11th, 2014Tina28 Comments

This post almost didn’t happen. Galaktoboureko, or a creamy custard pastry, is my favorite Greek dessert of all time. It’s my husband’s favorite too. I figured it was high time to try to make it so I found a recipe, busted out the ingredients, and… well, let’s just say that the day ended in tears. (By the way, that one is NOT this recipe). I don’t know if I was more upset about throwing away most of the ingredients or all that time that I wasted. I called my husband and told him that I was so annoyed and that I would never try …
