Meringues are light as air, dissolve in your mouth, addictive goodness that are easier to make than they look. Even if they don't come out perfectly, you will still have an elegant treat easy enough for everyday eating. Just don't decide to start boiling a large pot of beans at the same time. You'll see what I mean when you read the recipe, which can be found by clicking on the link in my profile. Feel free to tag someone who needs this in their life, and please share! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/03/20/meringues . @saveurmag @chsugar . . #mostlygreek #saveur #saveurmag #greekfood #myopenkitchen #mycommontable #storyofmytable #dinnertonight #hautecuisines #thecookfeed #greekcuisine #greeks #greekcooking #yummyformytummy #tastyfood #instayummy #foodislove #mediterraneandiet #taste #cookingfromscratch #gardentotable #homemadefood #eattheworld #noleftovers #mediterraneanfood #dessert #cookies #sweets #vegetarianrecipes #nowaste

There are few lenten recipes I enjoy more than this. This is called γίγαντες πλακι, or Greek baked giant beans. They really are giant and in this dish they are prepared in a tasty bath of tomatoes, garlic, onion, and lots of lovely olive oil! The beans used are unique in both size and flavor, but large lima beans can also be used. Even if you aren't "doing Lent", this is an amazing dish worth making. Come on over for the recipe, and feel free to tag someone and to share! https://mostly-greek.com/2018/03/01/baked-greek-giant-beans-gigantes-plaki . . @saveurmag . . #mostlygreek #saveur #saveurmag #greekfood #myopenkitchen #mycommontable #storyofmytable #dinnertonight #hautecuisines #thecookfeed #greekcuisine #greeks #greekcooking #yummyformytummy #tastyfood #instayummy #foodislove #mediterraneandiet #taste #cookingfromscratch #gardentotable #homemadefood #eattheworld #noleftovers #mediterraneanfood #beans #vegetarianrecipes #veganrecipe #vegetarian #vegan

Right now my fig tree is just a bunch of sticks. It's going to be a while before I will get to have these succulent treats. If you don't have your own fig tree, you are really missing out on some of the tastiest fruits you could ever imagine. Even if you live in a cold climate, there are varieties you could grow in pots to be brought under cover during the winter months. There's more helpful information on my blog so come on over, and feel free to tag someone and to share! https://mostly-greek.com/2018/08/28/figs . . . . . #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

With St. Patty's day just around the corner (and with me being part Irish), it only makes sense to have some honest-to-goodness real Irish food on hand. This traditional soda bread is so good, you won't want to leave it for just once a year! It's tender without being a crumbly mess, and works well with dinner as much as it does for breakfast. Come on by for the recipe by clicking on the link in my profile for mostly-greek.com, and feel free to tag someone and to share! //mostly-greek.com/2019/03/15/mostly-traditional-irish-soda-bread/ . @saveurmag @kingarthurflour . . #mostlygreek #saveur #saveurmag #greekfood #myopenkitchen #mycommontable #storyofmytable #dinnertonight #hautecuisines #thecookfeed #greekcuisine #greeks #greekcooking #yummyformytummy #tastyfood #instayummy #foodislove #mediterraneandiet #taste #cookingfromscratch #gardentotable #homemadefood #eattheworld #noleftovers #mediterraneanfood #stpatricksday #irish #bakersofinstagram #realfood #bread
