Pumpkin Conchas
What are conchas? Conchas are Mexican pastries called Pan Dulce, literally meaning “sweet bread”. It is a sweet bun topped with a delicious crunchy streusel.

Avocado Hummus
A while back, on Instagram, I posted a breakfast with hash browns, egg, and avocado hummus. It generated a lot of interest, especially the hummus! I’ve made this several times since that post, and I figured it was time to share it with all of you. I am a huge hummus fan, my husband is…

Delicious Homemade Pita
I don’t always make homemade pita, and when I do, I wonder “Why don’t I make this yummy, easy to bake, pita bread more often?!”. This recipe is pretty straight forward and very forgiving, and you can pretty much have fresh, delicious pitas on your table in about two hours (start to finish). I used…

Greek Meatballs and Tzatziki
When I posted this meal on my Instagram page last month, I received many requests for the recipe. There are several different components on the plate in my Instagram photo, but this post includes the meatballs and tzatziki. Using a little olive oil and panko breadcrumbs binds the meatballs. Fresh and dried herbs along with…
