Feta Borek

The first time I ate these delicious crunchy feta snacks was during my first vacation in Greece. I’ve been hooked ever since and feel compelled to spread the recipe!

    Honey Glazed Chicken and Bacon Bites

    I had an idea. Actually, it was more like my three hundred and forty-sixth idea for this month and I now have the hips to show for it.

      Oriental Sticky Drumsticks

      This is the secret recipe for my sticky oriental drumsticks. Since secrets are overrated anyway, here’s me, spilling the beans on the world wide web! Usually we make these during summer—I’ll reduce and cook down the marinade (read; I boil the heck out of it) and baste the drumsticks while BBQ’ing them, it’s finger-licking delicious!

            Crunchy Sweet Potatoes

              Have a quick and fun recipe for you. Not too healthy, though. Think of these babies as a fun variation of French fries, or something along those lines. A friend of mine mailed me this recipe thinking it might be worthy of a blog posting. Worthy? Heck, yeah! She knows I’m very picky about the recipes I post. I don’t want to slap up ridiculous recipes just for the sake of blogging….
