Paximathia is pretty much the national cookie of Greece. Similar to Italian biscotti (but, really, so much better) it is a lightly sweetened, coffee dunking, tasty treat flavored with anise. This recipe also adds an extra boost of deliciousness from fennel seeds and that elixer of life: extra virgin olive oil. Oh yeah, baby, it's good! So come on over for the recipe to satisfy your weekend baking itch, and be sure to tag a friend and to share! https://mostly-greek.com/2018/04/15/paximadia-greek-biscotti . . . . #mostlygreek #eattheworld #tastyfood #storyofmytable #grubzone #thecookfeed #greekfood #cookingfromscratch #heresmyfood #foodblogfeed #tastingtable #imsomartha #greekcooking #foodblogeats #gardentotable #dailyfoodfeed #mediterraneandiet #myopenkitchen #noleftovers #onmyplate #cookietime #greek #greeks #dessert #bakingday #cookiesofinstagram

I'm pretty sure these are the veggies that ultimately turned me into a gardener. When I was a wee little kid, I disappeared into the garden, only to be found by my parents snacking on all the peas they had been growing. In my defense, I was pretty young and they were really good! We are quickly approaching the fall planting season for cool weather crops, and peas are an easy addition to your veggie garden. I have some helpful tips for growing your own sweet snacks, so come on over for a visit.

In the right climate, figs produce an obscene amount of fruit. So much that you let the birds have a little, too. Thankfully they freeze and dry well, but better yet, they make an amazing jam. Greeks love figs, and when they're made into jam with golden honey, what's not to love?! The easy recipe is ready and waiting, so please be sure to tag a friend and to share! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/08/19/fig-honey-jam . . . . #mostlygreek #eattheworld #tastyfood #storyofmytable #grubzone #thecookfeed #greekfood #cookingfromscratch #heresmyfood #foodblogfeed #tastingtable #imsomartha #greekcooking #foodblogeats #gardentotable #dailyfoodfeed #mediterraneandiet #myopenkitchen #noleftovers #onmyplate #eattherainbow #eatrealfood #gardenharvest @chsugar

Welcome to the town of Microland, complete with the usual banks, gas stations, and even an airport!

Who picked a peck of pickled peppers? Why, you will! No special pre soaking, brining, liming, nothing! Just stuff them in a jar, pour over some brine and some seasonings, and wait!

Long before sourdough was a "thing", it was the ONLY thing, and it was really an easy thing. Early bakers learned that under the right conditions, flour and water became a living tool that would allow a blob of dough to become a hearty and delicious form of sustenance. This recipe combines the classic Greek touch of olive oil into a rustic, village style bread that is perfect for all your bread needs! Come on over for a visit and to get the recipe, and as always, please tag a friend and share! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/08/15/whole-wheat-olive-oil-sourdough-bread . . . #mostlygreek #greekcuisine #greekfood #foodblogeats #bestfoodfeed #noleftovers #seriouseats #damnthatsdelish #bestfoodfeed #igfoodies #tastethisnext #foodnation #mediterraneandiet #goodfoods #eatrealfood #gardentotable #greek #greeks #cookingfromscratch #mycommontable #madefromscratch #easyrecipe #instarecipe #bakingday #bakersofig #ilovebread #sourdough
