Just think of all the kourambiethes you could make if you had your own almond tree!! Plus you'd get show-stopping displays of blooms in spring, along with those tasty nuts for snacking or cooking! Almonds are also one of the few tree nuts that will grow well in our area without needing a ton of space. Lots of tips and information are waiting for you, so just click on the link in my profile and please feel free to look around while you are there! . . . . . . #mostlygreek #vegetablegarden #urbangardening #ediblegarden #flowergarden #herbgarden #growyourownfood #naturalgarden #bees #savethebees #savetheplanet #pollinators #organicgardening #organicgarden #greenlife #greenliving #homesteading #outdoorlife #californialiving #californialife #greekcooking #greekfood #greeks #beautyinnature #planttherapy #gardenharvest #gardentotable #gardeningisfun #urbanhomestead #ilovegardening

It's citrus season here in California and other citrus friendly areas. This is also marmalade season because there's not much better than eating marmalade made with seasonal produce. I have a modernized recipe (two ingredients!) to make this process easy-peasy, so click on the link and please share! https://mostly-greek.com/2018/03/14/citrus-marmalade/ . . . . #mostlygreek #greekfood #mediterraneanfood #eattheworld #foodblogeats #tasting #tastingtable #tastingmenu #heresmyfood #goodmoodfood #eatingwell #iamwellandgood #foodaffair #eatgoodfeelgood #thenewhealthy #eatwellbewell #noleftovers #bhgfood #todayfood #food4thought #yougottaeatthis #feastagram #bestfoodworld #devourpower #naturalfood #easyrecipes #easyrecipe #recipeoftheday #inmykitchen #myopenkitchen

When someone this cute comes for a visit, you drop everything you're doing and smooch their cheekies! Oh yeah, and make silly noises and faces, too! . . . . . #mostlygreek #gardening #family #greeks #greek #babies #baby #babycheeks #greekfood #greekcooking #gardentotable #familygatherings #familygathering #bestgrandmaever #familylife #californialife #urbanhomestead #urbangardening #healthyliving #happiness

A lovely good morning to you on this dark Wednesday! A literal calm before the storm this morning. It's supposed to be a wet one here, so be careful, especially to those in the burn affected areas! Hope it's a good day otherwise! . . . . . #mostlygreek #vegetablegarden #urbangardening #ediblegarden #flowergarden #herbgarden #growyourownfood #naturalgarden #bees #savethebees #savetheplanet #pollinators #organicgardening #organicgarden #greenlife #greenliving #homesteading #outdoorlife #californialiving #californialife #natureisamazing #natureisawesome #natureisbeautiful #beautyinnature #planttherapy #gardenharvest #gardentotable #gardeningisfun #urbanhomestead #ilovegardening

If you're from the Valley, you likely have your own fair share of hair-raising stories about driving in near zero visibility. This is called tule fog, and is unique to where I live. I have one of my favorite stories about this lovely phenomenon at the link, what's one of yours? Just remember, you can't get someplace on time if you can't get there at all! Be safe, everyone! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/01/15/thats-not-smoke-this-time/ . . . . . #mostlygreek #vegetablegarden #urbangardening #ediblegarden #flowergarden #herbgarden #growyourownfood #naturalgarden #bees #savethebees #savetheplanet #pollinators #organicgardening #organicgarden #greenlife #greenliving #homesteading #outdoorlife #californialiving #californialife #natureisamazing #natureisawesome #natureisbeautiful #beautyinnature #planttherapy #gardenharvest #gardentotable #gardeningisfun #urbanhomestead #ilovegardening

Before you know it, the "Big Game" will be upon us here in the States, and you'd better have enough snacks to make it through the commercials! I was introduced to a version of this wonderful crab dip in the early 90s at Skates on the Bay, a surf-and-turf restaurant in Berkeley, Ca., and I haven't forgotten it after all these years! With a layer of bubbly cheese and the mellow bite of Greek peperoncini, this version of that dip will be the highlight of any gathering. Click on the link in my profile for the recipe, and as always please feel free to visit while you're there! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/01/14/cheesy-crab-dip-with-artichokes-greek-peperoncini . . . . . #mostlygreek #greekfood #mediterraneanfood #eattheworld #foodblogeats #tasting #tastingtable #tastingmenu #heresmyfood #goodmoodfood #iamwellandgood #foodaffair #noleftovers #bhgfood #todayfood #food4thought #yougottaeatthis #feastagram #bestfoodworld #devourpower #healthyrecipe #healthyrecipes #naturalfood #easyrecipes #easyrecipe #recipeoftheday #inmykitchen #myopenkitchen #seafood #superbowlparty

Much of what I do in the kitchen is pure experimentation. I'm trying out plum juice as a pectin source to set peach juice for jelly. I have no idea if it will set, but if not, we'll get some lovely syrup!! 🤣🤣 . . . . . #mostlygreek #greekfood #mediterraneanfood #eattheworld #foodblogeats #tasting #tastingtable #tastingmenu #heresmyfood #goodmoodfood #eatingwell #iamwellandgood #foodaffair #eatgoodfeelgood #thenewhealthy #eatwellbewell #noleftovers #bhgfood #todayfood #food4thought #yougottaeatthis #feastagram #bestfoodworld #devourpower #healthyrecipe #healthyrecipes #naturalfood #easyrecipes #gardentotable #kitchenexperiments
