Spanakopita actually means Spinach Pie in Greek. It's a savory sort of pastry, made with spinach, feta cheese and onions. It's fairly simple and if you've never had spanakopita, now is that time! I decided to make this via a request from a friend (who rocks!) and am very glad I did. I have made this, in some shape or form, at least 5 times since I originally attempted making my own recipe. I only have pictures from the first attempt (because I'm kinda lazy), but I really think I have perfected … [Read more...]

My mom used to make this chicken and rice casserole that I just absolutely loved. It was so simple to make, but it was so delicious! I recently asked her for the recipe and although I loved it just the way it was, I decided to change it up a bit. I will list her original recipe at the bottom (and trust me, it really is super simple and very good) because it's definitely worth making as well. Ingredients: 3 cups of cooked rice 1 to 2 cans cream of chicken and mushroom soup 2 to 3 … [Read more...]

This chicken, bacon, cheesy spinach quiche rocked my world! This was my first attempt at making a quiche and it won't be my last.
