Omelet With Zucchini Blossoms, Crispy Onions, Feta & Tarragon
When I bought the small basket of zucchini blossoms, I thought I would be able to whip-up three, four recipes at most but I actually did get quite a few stuffed in that basket! I hope you’ve enjoyed all the zucchini blossom recipes thus far, I have this one and one more to share. Some […]
Omelet With Feta, Scallions & Mushrooms
A couple of weekends ago, when I was shopping for some last minutes groceries for Easter, I had met and chatted with a gent who was obviously a senior citizen. I allowed him to be served before me and the man kindly refused. The man with him interjected and asked me to ask how old […]
The Gypsy Skillet
One of the new blogs out there in the food scene comes from a gal named Mila. Her blog title is “KISS….Keep It Simple Stupid”. I often share her belief that many dishes need not be complicated, too rigid in ingredient approach and allow for personal tastes and preferences to be applied to a recipe. […]
Bougatsa with Quince
Before I get on with showing you the dessert offering of Bougatsa for my Greek Thanksgiving, I should give you some background on this much-loved Greek breakfast treat. Bougatsa is a pastry that consists of phyllo and it can contain a filling of cheese, spinach, spinach & cheese, ground meat or in this case, custard. […]
Greece 2008 Comes to a Close
I’m back and in a bitter-sweet way. It’s good to be back in Canada after another wonderful, memorable and fantastic time vacationing in Greece. Although I wish I could still be in Greece, all things must come to an end and I don’t want to get sick of Greece and I always leave unfinished business […]
Death By Guilt, Courtesy of Mom
Last year, I took it upon myself to make my mother Eggs Benedict, delivered to her bedside. Instead of “thenk-you, Pee’rre…you thaught-fal, kind son”, I got…“I know, you feed me reech food, fool aaf butter breakfast too geeve me haart-attack. You want to keel me aaf, get rid of me? Niiice Mother’s Day prresent….ZOAN (animal)”! […]
The View From Here
I’ve seen some people in my blogging realm that are posting views from their kitchen and I love this idea. This is the brainchild of LuLu’s Bay from Cairo. It’s a window on the world and a window on what us food bloggers see when in our kitchens. As you can see, my yard faces […]
Baked Omelet
If you like the flavours of a western omelet, then you’ll surely enjoy Ina Garten’s omelet for two. Despite it’s title, I think the recipe is ample enough to feed four. I liked this omelet more than the classic western because it combines potato in it and it didn’t give me the usual heartburn I […]
Paximadia- Greek Toasted Almond Cookies
Paximadia are akin to Biscotti. My mom’s being making these for years but I haven’t had a real appreciation for them until as of late. Paximadia are often served with coffee. They are dry and great for dunkin’. I’m a guy and baking isn’t my strong suit but I was relieved that these cookies turned […]
French Toast
As a kid, I always wondered what made French Toast…French? Not until my adulthood did I find out French Toast should be made with baguettes. If you have some leftover baguette, cut them up and use them for french toast the next morning. One peeve I have about french toast is that people simply sink […]
