Well hello, savoury delicious pie. Please get in my belly. I looove this recipe. Spanakopita is one of the most recognizable greek dishes. I’ve always assumed the recipe would be too involved to make at home. I’ve been dead wrong. The list of ingredients is easily accessibly and assembly is a snap. You. Yup, all…

How To: Quickie Meal – Penne with Tomatoes, Kale and Hazelnuts
You know those weekends where they come to an end and you feel like you need ANOTHER weekend just to recuperate from the previous one? Well, this was one of those weekends. Non stop rain meant trying to find non stop activities for my almost two year old daughter to keep her busy. Summer is…
