Had a BIG meal at Eureka Pizza Co. in Yorba Linda tonight with the other parents from the dance group here at FDF. If you live in or are visiting the So Cal area, stop on by for some tasty Greek-Italian food! . . . . . @eurekapizzacompany #mostlygreek #greekfood #greeks #greek #italianfood

All those practices pay off! Tonight we find out the results, but no matter what, we are pretty dang proud of this group! . . . . . #mostlygreek #greek #greeks #fdf #fdf2020 #proudmom

One of the unspoken truths about FDF is that any open space, indoors or out, is a perfect place for a practice session or impromptu dance party. . . . . . . #mostlygreek #greek #greeks #fdf #fdf2020 #dancelikeyoumeanit

First round done! . . . . . #mostlygreek #fdf #fdf2020 #greeks #greek

The all-in-one-pan dinner has been a favorite staple of my cooking repoitoir for a good long time, long before the "sheet pan dinner" craze hit the foodie blogosphere a while back. In fact, I think you'll find my method to be far better! I don't spread the ingredients out since this lets all the moisture from the food evaporate. Instead I like to nestle the veggies up close with the chicken, which creates this rich and flavorful broth that you can then serve with your meal. In this dish, nutty Brussels sprouts marry with tangy fresh tomatoes, and everything is enveloped by seasoned and roasted chicken. Hearty and filling, while still light, and yes, healthy, too! Why this could even be a great stay-at-home sweetheart dinner! All the tips you need are a click away, so come on over for the recipe, and please feel free to tag a friend and to share! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/06/18/chicken-roasted-with-brussels-sprouts-tomatoes/ . . . . . . #mostlygreek #eattheworld #storyofmytable #greekfood #cookingfromscratch #heresmyfood #greekcooking #foodblogeats #gardentotable #mediterraneandiet #myopenkitchen #noleftovers #onmyplate #eattherainbow #eatrealfood #huffposttaste #bhgfood #inseason #eatpretty #foodwinewomen #cookit #homecookedmeal #bbcgoodfood @foodblogfeed #foodblogfeed @thefeedfeed #feedfeed #bhghowiholiday @mccormickspice #mccormickspice @fosterfarms #dinnerisserved

I'm hearing rumors that there's another holiday coming up, one that frequently involves chocolaty sweets for one's sweetie. I think this chocolate angel food cake will do rather nicely! It's texture is light as air with just the right amount of sweetness to satisfy your sweet-tooth, but without being so overbearing and heavy as to leave you with regret for your life's choices. In fact it's so light, you may go back for seconds! Come on over for a visit and check out the recipe by clicking on the link.
