My cousin and I are on our annual "moms gone AWOL" trip, this time to Northern California. I love it here, though it does take some time getting used to the MUCH cooler weather! Happy Monday! . . . . #mostlygreek #vegetablegarden #urbangardening #ediblegarden #flowergarden #herbgarden #growyourownfood #naturalgarden #organicgardening #organicgarden #greenlife #greenliving #outdoorlife #californialiving #californialife #gardenharvest #gardentotable #urbanhomestead #ilovegardening #sunsetmagazine #bhgbestfrontyard #bhghome #bhgflowers #bhghowiholiday #countrylivingmag #countrylivingmagazine #vacationtime

The first plums of the season to ripen in my mini-orchard aren't my favorites. They look so good, but are rather sour. It's kind of like getting hit with a candy coated brick. However, they make the most flavorful and pretty jam! Best of all this jam requires only two ingredients (water doesn't count), and the process is broken up over time, so it's really easy to do. You'll find the recipe in the Sweet Treats section under the recipes tab, so come on over for a visit. As always, feel free to tag someone and to share! https://mostly-greek.com/2018/06/24/plum-jam . . . . #mostlygreek #eattheworld #tastyfood #storyofmytable #grubzone #thecookfeed #greekfood #cookingfromscratch #heresmyfood #foodblogfeed #tastingtable #imsomartha #greekcooking #foodblogeats #gardentotable #dailyfoodfeed #mediterraneandiet #myopenkitchen #noleftovers #onmyplate#sunsetmagazine #bhgfood #countrylivingmag #countrylivingmagazine @chsugar

Blueberry season is almost done for us, but the second wave of strawberries is just beginning! I have recipes for a lovely strawberry cake as well as an amazing blueberry muffin on the blog!

Happy first day of summer and happy National Peaches and Cream Day! For the past few weeks this is what I've heard from my boys: Mom, are you going to make that peach ice cream again?, Mom, can you make that peach ice cream again?, Mom, when are you going to make that peach ice cream, again?, Mom, make that peach ice cream, again! I think they've gotten a little more insistent. Just maybe a little. The recipe they are demanding is ready and waiting for you on my website, just look under the sweet treats section of the recipes tab! As always, please tag a friend and share! https://mostly-greek.com/2018/08/06/old-fashioned-peach-ice-cream . . . . #mostlygreek #eattheworld #tastyfood #storyofmytable #grubzone #thecookfeed #greekfood #cookingfromscratch #heresmyfood #foodblogfeed #tastingtable #imsomartha #greekcooking #foodblogeats #gardentotable #dailyfoodfeed #mediterraneandiet #myopenkitchen #noleftovers #onmyplate #sunsetmagazine #bhgfood #bhgwintheweekend #countrylivingmag #countrylivingmagazine @chsugar @mccormickspice #mccormick #iscreamforicecream

If you have ever been frustrated while working with phyllo dough, this is your chance for revenge. Those long, paper thin sheets are prone to tearing and drying out, making them unusable. EXCEPT for this cake. This is portokalopita, and it wants you to tear the ever-loving bejeesus out of that phyllo. And when you do, you'll be rewarded with a spongy, moist, citrus-laden cake that I dare you to eat only one piece of. The recipe is on my site, so come on over for a visit, tag a friend and please share! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/06/20/portokalopita-greek-orange-phyllo-dough-cake . . . . #mostlygreek #eattheworld #tastyfood #storyofmytable #grubzone #thecookfeed #greekfood #cookingfromscratch #heresmyfood #foodblogfeed #tastingtable #imsomartha #greekcooking #foodblogeats #gardentotable #dailyfoodfeed #mediterraneandiet #myopenkitchen #noleftovers #onmyplate #sunsetmagazine #bhgfood #countrylivingmag #countrylivingmagazine @chsugar @mccormickspice #mccormick #californialife #californialiving #bakersofinstagram #ilovecake

One would think that since it's summer break that I would have oodles of time to catch up on posts from my kitchen, garden, and general life. But this is teacher-hood where "vacation" is not much more than catching up on everything else that wasn't able to be done during the school year. Seriously, I just planted my veggies a couple of weeks ago. You know, three months late!🙄 So for today I'll leave you with some tantalizing (I hope!) pics with more details to come! Happy Wednesday! . . . . #mostlygreek #eattheworld #tastyfood #storyofmytable #thecookfeed #greekfood #cookingfromscratch #tastingtable #greekcooking #gardentotable #dailyfoodfeed #mediterraneandiet #vegetablegarden #urbangardening #ediblegarden #flowergarden #herbgarden #growyourownfood #naturalgarden #organicgardening #organicgarden #greenlife #greenliving #outdoorlife #californialiving #californialife #urbanhomestead #teachersofinstagram #teacherlife

Typical weeknight dinners need to be easy, but you should still enjoy what you're eating, right? Imagine Brussels Sprouts, cherry tomatoes, and garlic tucked under a layer of seasoned chicken, roasted until they are engulfed in a rich broth of yumminess. Why imagine it, just make it! The recipe is right where I left it, so click on the link to get it, and be sure to tag a friend and to share! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/06/18/chicken-roasted-with-brussels-sprouts-tomatoes . . . . #mostlygreek #eattheworld #tastyfood #storyofmytable #grubzone #thecookfeed #greekfood #cookingfromscratch #heresmyfood #foodblogfeed #tastingtable #imsomartha #greekcooking #foodblogeats #gardentotable #dailyfoodfeed #mediterraneandiet #myopenkitchen #noleftovers #onmyplate #sunsetmagazine @fosterfarms #fosterfarms #bhgfood @mccormickspice #mccormick #keto #lowcarb
