Sweet Cream Biscuits

Posted on August 24, 2022August 24, 2022 by Mostly Greek: "Living a Village-ish Life in Suburban California"

I love me a good biscuit. Drown it in gravy (but only if it’s actually good), or slather it with butter then top it with honey, and I’m a happy person.

Prasopita (Greek Leek and Feta Pie)

Posted on February 25, 2022 by Mostly Greek: "Living a Village-ish Life in Suburban California"

Leeks were almost completely unknown to me until adulthood. They are not a commonly used item here in the U.S., which is really a shame. I say it’s time for that to change!

Tomato-Basil Cornbread

Posted on December 7, 2021 by Mostly Greek: "Living a Village-ish Life in Suburban California"

I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone tell me that they don’t like cornbread. I mean really, what’s not to like? At the same time, it’s not something you hear people raving about, either. Maybe it just needs a little “sprucing up”.

Lemony Poppy Seed & Greek Yogurt Muffins

Posted on April 7, 2021April 7, 2021 by Mostly Greek: "Living a Village-ish Life in Suburban California"

I have never met a Greek who didn’t like lemon. Or maybe I have, and they were just too embarrassed to admit it. It’s probably for the best.

Mom’s Spanakopita

Posted on January 13, 2021February 23, 2021 by Mostly Greek: "Living a Village-ish Life in Suburban California"

No one has ever asked me for my spanakopita recipe. No one cares if I have one. I have no problem with this.

Kalamata Olive & Rosemary Sourdough Bread

Posted on September 15, 2020February 23, 2021 by Mostly Greek: "Living a Village-ish Life in Suburban California"

I generally avoid overly fussy recipes because they are, well… overly fussy. Sourdough is not fussy. Really. Trust me.

Spinach & Feta Galette

Posted on September 8, 2020March 9, 2021 by Mostly Greek: "Living a Village-ish Life in Suburban California"

As a child, I was not a fan of spinach, or anything that contained it, and no amount of watching Popeye cartoons could make me change my mind. Thank goodness for adulthood.

Whole Wheat & Oats Apple Muffins

Posted on May 26, 2020March 9, 2021 by Mostly Greek: "Living a Village-ish Life in Suburban California"

20200422_212617 I once read that if you plant an apple tree, you’ll be growing apples for the whole neighborhood. I’m beginning to understand what that person meant.

Fig & Greek Yogurt Quick Bread

Posted on April 25, 2020March 9, 2021 by Mostly Greek: "Living a Village-ish Life in Suburban California"

20200226175023_IMG_2863 I am fortunate to have a fig tree and to live in the perfect Mediterranean climate for it to thrive. That means that I will also have an overabundance of the tasty fruits just begging to be enjoyed.

Whole Wheat & Milk Bread

Posted on March 11, 2020March 9, 2021 by Mostly Greek: "Living a Village-ish Life in Suburban California"

20200226170225_IMG_2827xegh As much as I love making sourdough breads, there are many times that I realize I haven’t prepped my starter in time to do the baking I want or need to do. Bless the person who figured out how to make active dried yeast.
