This is a great dough to work with and the fillings are really limitless. Mount Pelion, which took its name from the mythical king Peleus, father of Achilles, is considered one of the most beautiful mountains in Greece.

This is a summer salad.  Yes, it can be made anytime of the year, but when the cucumbers and tomatoes are in season, it’s spectacular.  It’s a nice picnic or BBQ side, too.  And as always, it’s very flexible.  But, no matter what options you choose, it’s delicious.  Continue reading →

apple butter, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, feta cheese, Leeks, pre-cooked bacon, refrigerated pastry, Shallots, Vidalia onions

Caramelized onions….mmmmm…a little sweet, a little sour, and just plain yummy.  The apple butter, with its hint of cinnamon, the saltiness of the feta and the crispness of the bacon juxtaposed against the creaminess of the caramelized onions, makes for a perfect “storm” of flavor!  Continue reading →
