Rosemary-Garlic Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

20181120_182056In case you hadn’t noticed, I like garlic.  A lot.  Like if it ever went extinct during my lifetime, I’m not sure that life would be worth living.  Yeah, that much.

Phew!

I decided (wisely?? foolishly??) to redo the website format of mostly-greek.com.  So what that really means is that I just finished sitting on my behind for seven hours rearranging almost EVERYTHING here.  However, I think this new format is far better both for the visitor as well as myself.  I hope you agree!

Whole Citrus-Cranberry Sauce

A Wee Walk in the Woods
