Cooking, decorating and travelling through life
Nobody likes a bad meatball. My recipe is foolproof. I’ve made these hundreds of times with perfect results every time. There are a couple of secrets here though. The milk soaked white bread is a must. I mean enriched white bread (ie. wonder bread or the like). The other important step is to quickly brown […]
This recipe has been sitting as a draft for over a year. I just couldn’t get the photos right so I didn’t post. I’ve just entered my first ever photography/food styling challenge and one of the themes is cauliflower! No more excuses 🙂 This is super simple and there isn’t really a sauce per se… […]
While I am Greek by birth, I didn’t grow up with any knowledge of my heritage. When I connected with my roots in my late teens this cake was one of the first homemade things I tried. Vasilopita ( St. Basil’s Pie), is a Cake or bread traditionally served on New Years Day in Greece […]

I shared my Roasted Butternut Squash Soup recipe last year, and this one is along the same lines, but even easier. […]
It’s officially fall and that means its officially pumpkin season. I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin pie but my husband loves it.
