Spinach Pie (Spanakopita) for Two

January 24th, 2018Tina31 Comments

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 …

How to Organize a Linen Closet

January 19th, 2018Tina0 Comments

Hi guys! I’m excited to share with you that I’m starting a new series on the blog called “How to Organize.” What’s this series about? I’m sort of a neat freak so I have a tendency to want to organize things… all the time. I guess you can say that I enjoy organizing things, a lot. Is it normal to love organizing things? Maybe keep that answer to yourself. 😉 Many of my family and friends have to come to for advice on how to organize stuff. I guess I’m that good, or that crazy, or something. I’ve wanted to do this series for some …

Healthy Goals

January 5th, 2018Tina1 Comment

The #1 new year’s resolution is to get more healthy. I guess I’m in good company because that’s my new year’s resolution too, again. I seem to have this resolution several times during the entire year so I’m not sure if that’s truly a “new year’s” resolution except that it happens to coincide with the first day of the year. I’m not usually one for making resolutions. I suppose January 1st is a good excuse to reevaluate all of my resolutions, especially when it comes to healthy eating since I probably ate more cookies last month than all of last year. I thought …

Berry Kiwi Smoothie

January 3rd, 2018Tina2 Comments

Happy New Year! I’m back to my normal eating habits, which means that my holiday cookie diet is over. It’s a shame because a cookie diet is the only diet that I seem to be able to stick with. 😉 I could never give up sweets because I love them so much, so I’m all about moderation. I try to eat healthy during the week and splurge a little on the weekends. Smoothies are one of my go-to healthy meals. I’ve shared a variety of them with you on my blog and now I’m adding this new pretty one to the list. …

Individual Upside Down Ziti

December 29th, 2017Tina2 Comments

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. I’m sure you’ve all seen an idea and tried it, only to see that it did not come out like the picture, whether it be a recipe or a craft. Well, I was skeptical that the noodles would …
