Hello Friends!  How is your week going so far?  I’m definitely not 100% quite yet, but boy I’m feeling better!  I actually slept through the night without waking up once and made it to spin this morning after 2.5 weeks of blah.  I kept it super moderate, and while my chest was a little tight, I felt ok.  Hallelujah!!!!

It’s casserole time!  These are great because they make a butt-load of food and are comforting, yet can also be packed with nutrition.  We aren’t having the nasty snow storms and crazy weather like the east coast is having (yikes!) but it has been actually pretty chilly here for us weather wimps out in the west! 🙂  This is perfect for the chilly weather.

This is a great recipe for a special dinner and it’s actually pretty easy because I relied on the handy dandy crock-pot!  I actually think this would be great during the holidays too because it’s Christmas-y colors 🙂  So lets get stuffin’ . . . (more…)

crispy, flaky goodness

I had some leftover phyllo in the freezer from when I made chocolate baklava over the holidays and I had been contemplating what to do with it.  I saw Diana made this wonderful almond pastry (galette des rois) and really wanted to try that, but it used puff pastry not phyllo.  Hmmm, soon I had the idea to try my hand at spanakopita because I adore all things Greek and had never really tried making it before.  Well, it turned out nothing less than wonderful, as something wrapped in crispy, flaky dough would, and it just about tasted as good as the real thing!  Give it a try, it’s great for parties too (uh em SuperBowl) because it makes a butt load!  I have another fun appetizer to share as well 🙂 (more…)
