So simple and so delicious, proof again (for the umpteenth time) that good food does not require fancy anything. This is bouyiourdi, an appetizer-lunch-side that will make your taste buds sing with joy. It's also one of those non-recipe recipes that's almost embarrassingly simple to make. Don't be embarrassed, just make the dish! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/09/18/bouyiourdi-spicy-baked-feta-with-tomatoes-and-peppers . . . . . #mostlygreek #eattheworld #storyofmytable #greekfood #cookingfromscratch #heresmyfood #greekcooking #foodblogeats #gardentotable #mediterraneandiet #myopenkitchen #noleftovers #onmyplate #eattherainbow #eatrealfood #huffposttaste #bhgfood #inseason #eatpretty #foodwinewomen #cookit #homecookedmeal #vegetarianrecipes #fromthegarden

So maybe you have a bumper crop of tomatoes growing, or you went a little crazy at the farmer's market, or even have several cans of tomatoes from a regular ol' grocery store sitting on the shelf. And then a hankering for some old fashioned tomato soup hits you. That's why I'm here. It's super easy, I promise, and your meal will be on the table in a jiffy. Come on over for a visit! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/01/22/simple-tomato-soup#mostlygreek . . . . . #vegetablegarden #urbangardening #ediblegarden #growyourownfood #californialiving #californialife #gardentotable #urbanhomestead #backyardfarm #farmher #hobbyfarm #urbanfarm #growwhatyoueat #eattheworld #tastyfood #storyofmytable #grubzone #thecookfeed #greekfood #cookingfromscratch #heresmyfood #foodblogfeed #tastingtable #imsomartha #foodblogeats #dailyfoodfeed #mediterraneandiet #noleftovers

Ralph Waldo Emerson is credited with saying that life is about the journey, not the destination. Whether or not he really did say it, there is a whole lot of truth to that! With summer vacation being over, the time for most families to travel for more than a weekend is also over. But when the time is there, why not take advantage of it when you can? Take the detour! I have a short post on how my family did just that over this last summer break, so click on the link and come on over. Take the detour!!! 😉 https://mostly-greek.com/2019/09/16/take-the-detour . . . . #mostlygreek #family #familyfun #familyvacation #vacation #getoutside #gooutside #gooutandplay #takeatrip #timeforavacation #familytime #summer #summervacation #timetoexplore #exploration #adventuretime #familyadventures #familyadventure

This is how I know autumn is coming: the olives are getting bigger! They'll be ready for harvest towards the end of November-ish. Do you grow olives? If so, what kind and what do you do with them? . . . . #mostlygreek #vegetablegarden #urbangardening #ediblegarden #flowergarden #herbgarden #growyourownfood #naturalgarden #organicgardening #organicgarden #californialiving #californialife #planttherapy #gardenharvest #gardentotable #gardeningisfun #urbanhomestead #ilovegardening #backyardfarm #farmher #hobbyfarm #smallfarm #urbanfarm #growwhatyoueat #greek #greeks #olives

My garlic chives are just beginning to bloom. These herbs are a perfect alternative to regular chives or green onions in most recipes, plus the flowers attract pollinators! 😊 . . . . #mostlygreek #vegetablegarden #urbangardening #ediblegarden #flowergarden #herbgarden #growyourownfood #naturalgarden #organicgardening #organicgarden #californialiving #californialife #planttherapy #gardenharvest #gardentotable #gardeningisfun #urbanhomestead #ilovegardening #backyardfarm #farmher #hobbyfarm #smallfarm #urbanfarm #growwhatyoueat

Mom, Mom, Mom, when are you going to make spaghetti?? Mom, Mom, Mommy, Mother!!! Make some spaghetti!! I'M HUNGRY!! (I guess they like this sauce!). There are actually a dozen different veggies hiding in this sauce, but you would never know it. It's a perfect way to use your excess garden harvest or farmer's market haul. I'll make gallons of it to freeze for later so we can enjoy the spoils of summer for months to come. The recipe is just a click away! https://mostly-greek.com/2018/07/09/ultimate-summer-garden-spaghetti-sauce . . . . . . #mostlygreek #eattheworld #tastyfood #storyofmytable #grubzone #thecookfeed #greekfood #cookingfromscratch #heresmyfood #foodblogfeed #tastingtable #imsomartha #greekcooking #foodblogeats #dailyfoodfeed #mediterraneandiet #myopenkitchen #noleftovers #vegetablegarden #urbangardening #ediblegarden #growyourownfood #organicgardening #organicgarden #greenlife #greenliving #gardenharvest #gardentotable #urbanhomestead
