As much as I love my freakishly orange, pumpkin flavored lattes, I also like to pretend to be an adult on occasion. A splash of brandy into an all-natural, almost pumpkin-pie flavored drink does the trick just nicely, and warms up the coldest night. This drink is just as good for a quiet evening as it is for a crowd, and can be kid friendly, too! You'll find the recipe for this hot pumpkin cider on the blog by clicking the link in my profile.

I love the stunning color of pomegranate seeds. It is no wonder that Persephone was tempted by Hades to eat them while she was his captive in the underworld in the Greek Mythological story. Not only beautiful, but delicious, too! This is an easy step-by-step recipe for making an all natural treat perfect for buttered toast, or good ol' pb&j sandwiches.

Forget the colorful but bland out-of-season tomatoes, or the shipped from 1,000 miles away peppers, in season produce is where the flavor is! Better yet, this medley can be made in advance for your upcoming holiday feast!

I've been sick all week, but managed to muster up enough energy to make another batch of my Greek White Fish Stew with these lovely carrots. That will hit the spot! The recipe is on my blog at mostly-greek.com and is easy enough that a sick person can do it! 😥 . . . . . #mostlygreek #greekfood #mediterraneanfood #eattheworld #foodblogeats #tasting #tastingtable #tastingmenu #heresmyfood #goodmoodfood #eatingwell #iamwellandgood #foodaffair #eatgoodfeelgood #thenewhealthy #eatwellbewell #noleftovers #bhgfood #todayfood #feastagram #bestfoodworld #devourpower #healthyrecipe #healthyrecipes #naturalfood #easyrecipes #easyrecipe #recipeoftheday #inmykitchen #myopenkitchen

There are few things sweeter than watching a nearly six-foot tall teenager hold his baby nephew and talk to him about fishing while giving him his bottle. Even better (for me, that is!) is having a baby so passed out while sleeping on you that they are open mouth drooling and making cute baby noises while they breath. Yep, being a Yiayia (Greek for grandma) is pretty darned cool! There's more cuteness if you click on the link in my profile, and feel free to look around while you are there! https://mostly-greek.com/2018/12/07/hes-firmed-up-a-bit . . . . . . #mostlygreek #greekfood #mediterraneanfood #eattheworld #foodblogeats #tasting #tastingtable #tastingmenu #heresmyfood #eatgoodfeelgood #family #familyaffair #familygathering #bhgfood #todayfood #food4thought #yougottaeatthis #feastagram #bestfoodworld #devourpower #healthyrecipe #healthyrecipes #naturalfood #easyrecipes #easyrecipe #recipeoftheday #inmykitchen #myopenkitchen #grandkids #grandparents
