My Favorite Salad

My Favorite Salad

This is my Go-To Salad! It is so easy to put together, and tastes like a million bucks (but barely costs any bucks). Years ago when I used to go to a friend’s house for dinner; his mom would make a huge salad whenever she

Pizza/Flatbread & Greek Flavors… sounds like a great evening of food for us! There has been a lot of conversations around here about our favorite flavors and foods as we are currently trying to pick not only a menu for our wedding but also a

Spinach & Artichoke Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms

There are some days that I think I would love to be a vegetarian. Today was one of those days (I love meat way too much to ever make that switch, but we do enjoy meat-free dishes often).

Recently my Grandmother spent some time in the hospital. She is doing fine now, but Rich and I wanted to go visit her anyway. She had just gotten home and needed some fresh food & produce. Grandma always talks about this produce market near her house so we figured we would go check it out and also be able to help her out with getting her groceries in the house. Well – we can just say that Rich & I were like Kids in a Candy Store! This place is awesome… great prices, huge variety, and lots of selection.

Italian Cookies on a Platter

Growing up, these always seemed to be one of my favorite cookies (as well as my Dad’s, so that sometimes caused some problems)! I never would have imagined that I could actually make these cookies at home! When you get these cookies from the bakery, there never seems to be enough of them compared to everything else in your Mixed Assortment. They are a bit time intensive, but less labor intensive than I would have thought (and they make a ton of cookies, so there will be plenty to share)!

Italian Ribbon 7-Layer CookiesSo yes, these are time intensive but yes, they are worth it!
