I love going to weddings! Who doesn’t? Love is in the air, you get to dress up, everyone wants to have fun and the food is delicious! On Saturday, I attended my second cousin’s wedding in downtown Chicago. There was a green/blue/purple peacock theme, which looked beautiful, and the cake was HUGE! It is probably the biggest cake I’ve ever seen. If you’ve ever seen the Food Network show, Ace of Cakes, then you know what I mean.

When you’re on a tight budget, it can be difficult to come up with new, fun and tasty meals for lunch at the office. I know I’d much rather go out and eat every day, but not only is that not practical since I’m unfamiliar with the area, but it’s also expensive. Usually, I just stick with packing a sandwich, some raw vegetables and a fruit salad.
It’s easy for me to make in the morning and it’s moderately healthy. But it’s so, so boring! I’m getting to the point that I’m dreading that lunch. I’ve been trying to come up with some new alternatives to the common lunch and here is what I’ve discovered.

I like the idea of eating salads, but I am incredibly picky about dressings. I want something that’s fairly healthy and tastes good too! It’s dangerous for me to walk down the salad dressing aisle at the grocery store because so many of them sound good. I usually give in and purchase one, but more often than not after testing it, my exhilaration quickly fades away as I realize it tastes so-so or even worse - disgusting! Read the rest of this entry »

It’s almost been a week since Easter, and my family still has leftovers stocked in the fridge. It’s getting hard to cram anything else in the refrigerator, so that means we better finish off that food fast! I was the unofficial photographer on Easter, so I snapped tons of pics of the delicious grub we had. Check out the recipes for the tasty dishes below! Most of the recipes we used are Greek, so you can find loads of them there!
My uncle and grandfather woke up at the crack of dawn to get these two lambs on a spit! Read the rest of this entry »

I am a purist in many ways. No ketchup on hot dogs, no soy sauce on sushi and no horseradish on my gefilte fish. The way I see it is: I like it eat what tastes good, so I want to taste what I’m eating. I realize that a good dipping sauce or spread can enhance the natural flavors of a food, but generally, I like to keep it simple. I find this is especially true when ingredients are seasonal and fresh. When you mess with perfection, you just end up with a mess.
