Tender, moist, and literally soaking with a bright, citrus flavor, Ravani is about to become your new best friend! It's a simple enough cake for every day, yet fancy enough for get-togethers and holiday dinners. Better still, it can be easily stored away for later enjoyment. A click on the link in my profile will get you to the recipe. Be nice, you know your friends will want it, too, so be sure to tag them and to share! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/05/21/ravani-greek-semolina-orange-syrup-cake . . . . #mostlygreek #bhgfood #rslove #eattheworld #tastyfood #storyofmytable #grubzone #thecookfeed #thekitchn #easyrecipes #greekfood #cookingfromscratch #heresmyfood #foodblogfeed #tastingtable #imsomartha #easyrecipe #greekcooking #foodblogeats #gardentotable #fbcigers #dailyfoodfeed #mediterraneandiet #myopenkitchen #mycommontable #noleftovers #letthemeatcake #bakersofinstagram #desserttable

As always, please feel free to tag someone and to share! https://mostly-greek.com/2018/07/08/dragonflies-damselflies . . . . #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

B A B I E S!! A few months ago we put in some Rosy Red Minnows into our pond. We knew most of them would likely not make it since they are such small and delicate fish. However a few did, and it turned out we had the right combination to have babies!! We've been watching the eggs over the past few days and now some of them have hatched! Looks for the very small silvery things darting around in the water. . . . . #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

This pasta dish looks unassuming and plain, but don't be fooled. The creamy sauce is built on a base of caramelized onion and white wine, with the earthy addition of thyme. And as usual, it's easy to prepare! The recipe is a click away at the link in my profile then just click on the picture, and please feel free to share! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/05/17/creamy-caramelized-onion-pasta-sauce . . . . #mostlygreek #bhgfood #rslove #eattheworld #tastyfood #storyofmytable #grubzone #thecookfeed #thekitchn #easyrecipes #greekfood #cookingfromscratch #heresmyfood #foodblogfeed #tastingtable #imsomartha #easyrecipe #greekcooking #foodblogeats #gardentotable #fbcigers #dailyfoodfeed #mediterraneandiet #myopenkitchen #mycommontable #noleftovers #onmyplate #pasta #easydinner

Let's face it, the strawberries that you usually find in the grocery store are often lacking something: flavor. That's kind of a big thing to lose! It's due to the fact that they have to be able to survive being shipped so they are picked while still firm and green. You can avoid that problem by growing your own! It's easy, doesn't need to take a lot of space and the rewards are so worth it! You can find the tips you need by clicking on the link in my profile, then clicking on the picture. I even have a couple of recipes for using your tasty berries (other than just popping them into your mouth!). What's your favorite way of enjoying strawberries? https://mostly-greek.com/2018/05/30/strawberries . . . . #mostlygreek #vegetablegarden #urbangardening #ediblegarden #flowergarden #herbgarden #growyourownfood #naturalgarden #pollinators #organicgardening #organicgarden #greenlife #greenliving #homesteading #californialiving #californialife #gardenharvest #gardentotable #gardeningisfun #urbanhomestead #ilovegardening #strawberry #strawberries #homegrownfood

A few years ago we had a huge lightning storm, but in the middle of summer, and my youngest was totally enraptured by it. It was the first such storm I could remember seeing in summer here in my entire life. We just had a big one a few days ago, which isn't as odd, but still a little unusual. Another big storm system seems to be heading our way in a few hours. I don't know if we'll get the same light show like last time, but I got some snippets of video from it and had some fun slowing it down to see the lightning bolts in a little more detail. You can watch them on my blog, so just click on the link and please feel free to share! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/05/15/what-a-show . . . . . #mostlygreek #bhgfood #eattheworld #tastyfood #storyofmytable #thekitchn #greekfood #cookingfromscratch #foodblogfeed #greekcooking #gardentotable #dailyfoodfeed #mediterraneandiet #myopenkitchen #mycommontable #noleftovers #family #familylife #greeks

If all these apricots make it to maturity, this will be the largest crop we have gotten so far! Keeping my fingers crossed, they should be ripe in about a month! . . . . #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
