Goodness Wrapped in Phyllo Dough
I love Spanikopita. Josh hates spinach. What’s a girl to do? We stumbled upon Hirotiropita, a variation of Spanikopita but made with shredded pork and veggies… that got me thinking. So what did I do? Take a great dish, tear it all apart and make it my own of course! Read more…
Amazing Dessert at Table 219
Josh and I discovered Table 219 the other night. A tiny little spot on Broadway in Capitol Hill, Table 219 offers classic comfort foods with a bit of flair. We came away knowing we had found a new favorite restaurant.
Happy Snack

Amazing Macaroni and Cheese in Cast Iron
I came across a complicated – although delicious looking – recipe for macaroni and cheese and wondered if I could revise it to be a little simpler yet still taste amazing. I made this for my old roommate, who is the pickiest eater I know. She loved it! Enough said. Read more…
Baklava
I am not a baker. I enjoy cooking because of it’s creativity and lack of rigidity. You’ll notice most of my recipes are a bit vague and leave lots of room for play! This recipe, however, is so worth the “baking” precision I usually avoid. I found the original in a cookbook, and played with it, tweaking it a bit every time, until I came up with this final result. It’s the most amazing baklava I’ve ever tasted, and I’ve had several people say the same! *unapologetic bragging* Read more…
