Sweet potatoes are so delicious, but I find I become limited in what I make with them sometimes. Most of the time I have them in my kitchen I make bake sweet potato fries or mashed sweet potatoes or sweet potato casserole. They are all excellent, but it can get a little repetitive. This is why I started making Roasted Sweet Potato Rounds with Honey & Feta. They are delicious baked sweet potato sounds with a drizzle of sweet honey and topped with savory feta.  I bake these in

Today I'm sharing recipes for three fall cocktails that are perfect for your next gathering. You'll absolutely love these for the season. You'll notice they're somewhat familiar as I designed the recipes by giving fresh twists to old favorites. These are perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas, or anytime you want to infuse cocktail hour with a little fall flavor. Pumpkin Margarita   Serves 1  Ingredients:  2 ounces silver or reposado tequila  1 ounce Cointreau  1 ounce fresh

I love this Greek Potato with Celery and Tomato Paste because it takes me back to my childhood. This bears all the marks of a traditional Mediterranean vegetable dish. The ingredients are readily available in many backyard gardens, and it’s made on the stovetop with water or broth. My mother-in-law remembers eating this dish for dinner with fresh feta on top when she was growing up! I like to serve it as a hearty side dish with protein and a green salad alongside.   I don’t h

I had so much fun making this Brownie Espresso Dessert Martini for you. Making desserts I know everyone will love always puts me in a good mood! I started this recipe by making brownies from scratch. As I said in the episode, you can definitely use a boxed mix if you want. However, if you have the time, I promise you’ll love the homemade brownie recipe. When they’re still warm from the oven pour the Kahlúa on top so it soaks in thoroughly and evenly.  Once the brownies are re

I’ve made Pastitsio before for this show. It’s probably one of the most popular Greek dishes in the world and we eat it frequently, so I made it fairly early on in filming . I still direct people to the recipe on my website a lot because they want to know how to make it! For today’s episode I did a little riff on the classic recipe and made Pastitsio Croquettes. They’re made with the traditional method but breaded and fried into delicious balls that are fun for everyone.  The

As we get closer to the holidays, I like to try out new dishes I might want to serve on the side this year. I’ve always enjoyed the combination of Brussel sprouts and bacon, but this year I’m adding apples to make Sautéed Apples with Brussel Sprouts and Bacon. Oh my, this is truly one of the most delicious side dishes you’ve ever tasted. The sweet apple adds a whole new dimension to the savory sprouts and salty, crunchy bacon.  The key to making this dish sing is cooking the
