The official name of this recipe is Psári Bouryetto which means steamed fish. Psári is Greek for fish, and that is particularly fascinating to me because I am currently studying Spanish. The word for fish (the food) is pescado, and fish (the animal, alive and swimming) is pez. Born in […]
Sometimes, an idea just hits you in the kitchen, and it fails. Other times, the stars align and you are rewarded with a dish that you just can’t wait to share and make again. Luckily, in the midst of packing up and getting ready to move cross-county, a last minute […]
As I’ve said before, all the recipes I’ve put on my website are ones that I find fail-safe and delicious. I certainly can’t single out every recipe as a favorite, but this soup is way up there on my lists of dishes that I love and can’t wait to make […]
Cauliflower is one of the most versatile vegetables for Paleo cooking. I use it all the time to make variations of my Cauliflower Rice, but occasionally it is just fun to cut it up, dust it with a delicious seasoning, and roast it. Roasting vegetables is one of the easiest […]

The inspiration for this recipe was a cute and tasty appetizer for Valentine’s Day. I was in the produce section of the grocery store, and saw a package of adorable baby portobello mushrooms. Even though I didn’t have a “plan,” I could not resist buying them. It turns out, this […]
As a Greek woman, I naturally gravitate towards Mediterranean flavors. It would be impossible to choose my favorite Greek dish, but tzatziki is one of my favorite things from any cuisine. I know… that is a big statement. Most of the time, tzatziki isn’t even considered more than a sauce […]
I have mentioned before that Taylor’s favorite place is not the grocery store, and conversely it is one of my favorite places (when not crowded). However, I may request his presence more frequently because whenever he is with me I am more efficient, we buy less, and we end up […]
After a little internet exploring, I realized that eggplant croutons are not my invention, but I’d never seen them before I came up with the idea as a topping to my Paleo Tomato Basil Soup! The original tomato basil soup recipe included making homemade croutons with pita bread. I had […]
