Rum Raisin Cheesecake recipe

A light yet tasty chickpea salad is made with carrot, chickpea, scallions and parsley, tossed with cider vinegar, a bit yogurt and basil. It's a refreshing salad that can be stuffed in the pita bread, or accompany any main course.

Delicious! And simple to make in a large batch for appetizers. As made in Thrace, the soft-dough may be spread into a sheet and cut in squares before baking, or each shaped individually into daintly "bastounakia" (little canes or sticks). The word "trifti" identifies the texture - crisp and crumbly in the mouth.

A good option for a meat dish. Very good balance.

Assorted fresh garden vegetables, eggs and cream make this quiche tasty, refreshing and packed with flavors. Not only delicious, but also good for you.

I would strongly suggest using libby’s pumpkin puree. Semi sweet chips make for a more savory cookie and an excellent addition to a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

This deliciousness came about when my neighbor Johnny brought over a ton of veggies from his garden one summer. This is a light but flavorful dish that is probably one of 6 year olds favorite meals. I serve it over rice but I'm sure it would taste great with a pasta too. As far as measurements, I'm terrible at measuring and usually just throw in as I go, so use as a guide and get creative while cooking!
