Spinach Balls (Spanakokeftedes)

May 19th, 2021Tina0 Comments

I first made these spinach balls over 20 years ago and here I am making them again because they are awesome. Actually, I sort of forgot about them, which is weird because it’s not for lack of greatness. Does that ever happen to anyone else? Something sparks your memory of a food and you say, “Hey, remember that? That were good. Why has it been so long since I’ve made it?” Of course there is no good answer, so you just move on with life until you think about it again. These spinach balls may not be the prettiest looking …

Baja Grain Bowls

Meet my new favorite lunch. Making this dish is a little more effort than I usually put in for lunch, but trust me when I say it’s worth it. It’s absolutely delicious. The combo of ingredients, the dressing, all of it together is one of the tastiest things I’ve ever had. My husband doesn’t like quinoa and doesn’t go out of his way to eat avocado, but said smelling this got him hungry when I was cooking this up. (No, he didn’t try it, but that’s okay because it meant more for me.) Let’s talk cilantro. I don’t love it …

How do you do this again? I mean blogging because it’s been a while. I took an unintentional hiatus from blogging. My last post was in February which was in the middle of winter. Hello, winter blues. It was nothing unusual or serious. Add being in the middle of a pandemic. Then add a busy work schedule. For those of you who don’t know, I’m a full time attorney. Plus I had a bad case of the “what the freak do I make?” My husband usually calls this my food mood, when I’m not in the mood for much aside …

Chocolate Lava Cakes

February 22nd, 2021Tina0 Comments

8 years and 781 posts later… Today is my blog’s 8th anniversary. Wow, just wow. Somewhere along the way I realized that I marked each blog-iversary with a recipe that has chocolate in it… coffee chocolate chip cookie bars, chocolate chip doughnuts, single serving whole wheat chocolate chip cookie, chocolate cupcakes for two, banana bread doughnuts with chocolate glaze, warm chocolate fudge cakes, then chocolate chip black and white cookies. I am continuing that tradition to share what may be the chocolatiest dessert that I’ve ever made, these chocolate lava cakes. I’ve always wanted to make lava cakes but I …

Sugar Cookie Icing (Redux)

February 13th, 2021Tina0 Comments

Today is all about love, cookies, and icing. I wanted to pay homage to this icing recipe, my first recipe blog post ever. Maybe it’s nostalgia talking, but it’s worth highlighting again because it’s still my favorite sugar cookie icing recipe. It’s tasty, pretty, and it hardens perfectly. It’s all the things that one looks for in a great sugar cookie icing recipe. This icing is also easy to use. I just spread it on with a butter knife and as it settles it magically smooths out all of my imperfect lines. If you’ve been following my blog for a …
