Spanikopita

April 11th, 2011

Until I met my husband, I had never really experienced Greek food, and certainly not authentic Greek food. While I have yet to go to Greece where he and his family are from (but we have a trip planned!) there is wonderful Greek food right here in our community.

September 20th, 2010

Orecchiette with Sausage, Beans and Mustard Greens Sorry, I guess I am on a sausage and pasta kick? The good news for the vegetarians is that this is probably a great dish without the meat! This pasta had every intention of being a soup yesterday. But when my husband kind of rolled his eyes at…

Radicchio and romaine salad with pears, dried cherries and blue cheese vinaigrette

October 22nd, 2008

I love a good seasonal salad. So in this salad, I really let the wonderful autumnal ingredients shine. The beautiful red lettuces are a very pretty contrast to the bright pears and the hearty cherries. You get lots of sweet and savory in this salad.

Swiss Chard with Dried Cranberries and Pine Nuts
