It’s official. Yes, I am calling it. SPRING HAS FINALLY ARRIVED! (And I double checked with Justin Berk, and it seems that is his assessment too.) The last three days have been glorious, and if you hadn’t fired up your grill yet this year, I am betting many people finally did. I came to the […]

Spinach Stuffed Peppers
One of my favorite meals is Spinach Pie – similar to Spanakopita, but I prepare it like a quiche. The problem is that Chef is not a super fan of quiche, and I haven’t mastered the art of quiche for one. Needless to say, it’s one of my favorite flavor combinations, so a few years […]
