Making Quinoa Pancakes
I must say that I’m a little late in arriving to the quinoa craze. It’s definitely not that I don’t like quinoa because I do. I’ve enjoyed quinoa flakes in my homemade muesli mix and my homemade granola for a few years now — but so far, that was the only way that I had…

Funnel Cakes And The Fourth Of July
The Fourth of July holiday officially kicks off the summer season each year, and after prepping all of the food, my mind always goes to what we will be eating for dessert or while watching the fireworks. I realized that I had not shared my recipe for funnel cakes, so I wanted to show you…

Crispy, Creamy, Cheesy Cauliflower Croquettes
When families tell me that they have a tough time getting their children to eat vegetables, I am usually left wondering who rules the roost at home. Children will grow into adulthood eating the foods that they’ve become accustomed to, so, if you are not providing good quality meals early on, these bad habits will…

Really Good, Really Vegan Pancakes
In my early 30’s, I decided to try a vegetarian lifestyle, and what started out as an experimental journey, lasted for 13 years. During this time I also tried life as a vegan, but found it very difficult to maintain because of my traveling and work schedule.

Greek Tiganites, Addictively Delicious Fried Treats
My mother was always the queen of snack making – she’s the only person I know who loved making snacks more than we loved eating them. When my friends would visit, my mother always ended up in the kitchen to make us whatever we wanted. Whether it was a delicious bowl of stovetop halva, endless…

Steak & Cheese Popover Pancake With Crispy Fried Onion Strings
I had been craving a steak and cheese sandwich all day, and could not wait to get home to prepare one for dinner. Once home, I realized that there was not even one slice of bread in the house, but I was still determined to make this work, because I just could not hold out…

Non-Traditional Chicken & Waffles
When you’ve been given a gift, you want to do your best to honor it in the best way that you can, so when Gina Metcalfe Lee sent me some of her bottled sauces, I wanted to take the time to do them all justice. One of the first things I decided to make was…

Light & Fluffy French Crullers
Who doesn’t just love a great donut. I must admit that I simply adore them. We’ve made lots of them here which have included my Greek loukoumades, bacon honey donuts, Berliner donuts and even bomboloni donuts we recently made for Easter. I may not eat them exclusively for breakfast as others do, but I would…

In Honor Of The London Olympics, It’s Traditional Fish And Chips
One thing I miss most about growing up in Australia are the fish & chip shops that dotted the area and seemed to be on just about every corner. You’d find your way up to the counter and place your order which included not only fried fish and chips, but also HUGE batter fried potato…

Bring On The Bacon Donuts (loukoumades with crispy bacon)
It’s not often that I come across people who don’t like donuts. So, on one recent occasion where I knew I was going to have a captive audience, I decided to test a new recipe for some Greek honey donuts that I had been experimenting with. It actually all began with one of my Facebook…
