Autumn In New York Cream Pie

Today it is Athanasia’s father’s birthday! So, Happy Birthday George! What better way is there to share the joy of a birthday than making a birthday treat? When Athanasia (my better half) and I were discussing the options for a sweet treat, I came up with this idea. I will admit, Athanasia was a little bit hesitant (because of her dislike for cinnamon) so she said to me: “sell me on it”. Well, I am proud to say after she tried it she is not only sold on it, but is a believer! The flavor reminds me of autumn in New York; warm colors, crisp air and bursting with flavor! Try it for yourself, it’s the perfect autumn treat! Continue reading Autumn in New York Cream Pie →

Jake made his amazing mayonnaise. After I tried it I was so impressed! The only egg-less gluten-free mayonnaise we like, we found at Bamboo Vegan, a store in Athens.

So why not spend a bit more time in the kitchen to make your very own mayo? As I was enjoying the mayo with potato chips, I saw the fresh dill I had just chopped. Abracadabra: Σαν τζατζίκι – Alternative to Greek Tzatziki Salad was born!
