Spinach Pie (Spanakopita)

It looks like celery juice is a food trend this year.  I’ll pass.  However, I do have an green food option for you if you’re into that sort of thing, except this option is delicious. I’ve had a lot of spinach pie.  Being Greek, that’s to be expected.  😉  If you asked 10 people to make it then I bet you’d get 10 different varieties.  I’m sure most, if not all, would be delicious in their own way.  When my husband and I visited Greece several years go we had a spinach pie in a spiral form at a truck …

Chili… Again

Chili is the perfect food to be thinking about right now.  Chili is great for cold weather or for the big game.  Who’s up for some chili? I actually shared a chili recipe back in 2013.  Yikes, that was my first year blogging so I’ll be celebrating 6 years already!  Anyway, my husband and I make that chili recipe every winter and we love it.  However, every time we make it, we say that it should have a tad more liquid.  Apparently that didn’t bother us enough because we are only now finally adjusting the recipe to try to fix it.  It’s really …

Almond Biscotti… Made Smaller

I love traditions, especially during the holiday season.   Every Christmas my baby sister comes over and we bake cookies and we always have a blast.  For the past 5 years we’ve made these almond biscotti.  I actually posted the recipe 5 years ago.   These cookies are THE best biscotti recipe I’ve ever made.  Just to show ya, it’s the only biscotti on my blog because no other recipe has come close to being as good.  They’ve set the bar for biscotti baking.  They are perfect in every way, except the size.  Every time we make them we think that they …

Peanut Butter Chocolate Cup Cookies

With only a few days left until Christmas, I’m in full cookie baking mode. My grocery lists consist of Ramen noodle soup and baking ingredients.  Don’t judge me.  😉  I blame my Ramen noodle obsession on the fact that I still have food aversion from being really sick a couple of weeks ago.  However, I do feel bad my husband asks me what’s for dinner and I have no “real” food to offer him.  It’s all for a good cause… cookies.  And who doesn’t enjoy a little college flashback with Ramen. I always make at least one peanut butter cookie every Christmas.  My peanut butter …

Sugar Cookie Sandwiches with Chocolate Hazelnut

I’ve got a good old fashioned easy sugar cookie recipe for you. The holidays are a popular time of the year to make roll out sugar cookies.  It’s fun to cut out all sorts of festive holiday cookie shapes and decorate them to your heart’s content with a variety of colored frosting and sprinkles.  I bet it’s a holiday tradition for many of you to bake cookies with your family.  After all, the holidays are all about spending time with loved ones (and eating as many cookies as possible). There are a ton of sugar cookie recipes out there.  I’m …
