all-purpose flour, black olives, black pepper, bread flour, dillweed, dry milk powder, egg, feta cheese, honey, instant yeast, kosher salt, olive oil, orange zest, sesame seeds

The local cuisine specializes in charcuterie, and a hearty stew called, spentzofáï. These little breads resemble a Mount, and would be a perfect accompaniment to either the charcuterie or a stew.

I don’t know about you, but The Latin Lover and The Goddess seem to like to begin their weekend with pizza.  Sure, we can get take-out.  It’s good.  Sometimes it’s even great pizza, but you can make your own and it isn’t that difficult.  Really.  It isn’t.  Continue reading →

Vegetable Soup with Italian FlavorsWith flu season upon us with a vengeance, I thought this was a good time of year to make a brothy, vegetable soup.  There are a few beans tossed in, but they were more of an afterthought.  This soup is all about vegetables, is slightly salty and will warm you to your bones.  Continue reading →

You know I adore eggplant.  I don’t think I’ve ever met an eggplant dish I didn’t love.  I’ve been thinking about stuffed eggplant, so I decided that today was the day.  I was heading down the vegetarian path, adding lentils to give us that meaty texture.  Then, I took another path….

Quick and Easy Tuna MeltI’ve always liked the idea of tuna melts.  I really do, but you know, sometimes when you heat canned tuna, it develops an unpleasant fishy taste.  The Goddess hates fishy.  The Latin Lover hates fishy.  But, I’m happy to tell you, this works well.  It’s quick to fix and doesn’t heat up the kitchen, when the temperature outside soars…and it’s delicious.  Continue reading →
