Manageability – Just Deep Fryin’. I don’t have the sweetest of sweet tooths. I’ve never been ga-ga over chocolate, and I don’t exactly scream for ice cream. However I have always loved pastry/doughy desserts like donuts, cupcakes, and chocolate-covered pretzels (or chocolate dipped pretzels from Auntie Anne’s, back when malls existed). That’s why My GreekContinue reading “My Greek Dish’s Loukoumades”

Manageability – Toss N’ Bake. Potatoes are a really versatile veg. Fried, mashed, sweet, baked, or juiced, potatoes literally just always taste good. But these Greek Lemon Potatoes from Sprinkles and Sprouts taste REALLY good. Better than the average potato. Potato plus. Plus-tato. The recipe is real easy for these. It’s basically toss and bake.Continue reading “Sprinkles and Sprouts’ Slow Roasted Greek Lemon Potatoes”

Manageability – When life gives you lemons, make this. Some people will tell you rice is a bland food. They’ll conjure up images of white mush in a wooden bowl, and cell phones in zip lock bags to fix water damage. But this Greek Lemon Rice from The Mediterranean Dish is.. well.. something else entirely.Continue reading “The Mediterranean Dish’s Greek Lemon Rice”

Manageability – More like tzat-easy sauce. Making sauces can be intimidating. Sometimes the instructions demand boiling and simmering, gentle pouring, precise timing, and a crazy amount of spicing. I’ve watched enough Triple D to know I probably won’t be making my own BBQ sauce anytime soon. That stuff is complicated man. Sometimes sauces are tough.Continue reading “Dishes and Dust Bunnies’ Easy Homemade Tzatziki Sauce”

Manageability – Fast and Furious. Making pita bread requires a lot of mixing, patience, kneading, waiting, then extreme heat and crackerjack timing. It’s a real roller coaster of a baking experience, but in the end you’ll be glad you did it. This Pita Bread from Delish is the perfect compliment to a classic gyro. NoContinue reading “Delish’s Homemade Pita Bread”

Manageability – Opa! (Really good and quite easy) Last winter I bought plane tickets for a summer 2020 vacation to Greece. I was going to spend a night in Barcelona on the way, then visit Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, and Crete. There was going to be beaches and Ouzo, donkeys and dancing in a circle, andContinue reading “Carlsbad Craving’s Greek Chicken Gyros”

Manageability – Kinda Rough, but Worth It. When my husband turned 34, I offered him one of two things: a carefree day at Six Flags Great America, or a delicious moist yellow cake with chocolate frosting from Life, Love, and Sugar. He made the right choice with the cake, because this thing is every bitContinue reading “Life, Love, and Sugar’s Moist Yellow Cake with Chocolate Frosting”

Manageability – Do it, drink it, yes! In 2003, renown American philosopher and outspoken political thinker Andre 3000 famously asked of the human condition “what’s cooler than being cool?” In the past, people theorized “ice cold!”, but I’d like to propose a new answer to this age-old question: “Who Needs a Cape’s Watermelon Cooler!” ButContinue reading “Who Needs a Cape’s Watermelon Cooler”

Manageability – Basic, cute, yum. Cupcakes are one of those things that can look really cute, but are actually pretty easy to do. That’s why I loved Today’s Work at Home Mom’s Watermelon Cupcakes. These things are adorable, tasty, fun to make, and pretty dang easy. Win/win/win. For taste, they are fluffy, soft, and sweet.Continue reading “Today’s Work at Home Mom’s Watermelon Cupcakes”

Manageability – As Expected. I’m not even going to waste your time with some stupid joke about these potato wedges. You got everything with these “extra crispy” baked garlic parmesan potato wedges by Eat Well 101. You got plenty of zesty garlic flavoring, you got tangy parm that compliments that zest. You even got thisContinue reading “Eat Well 101’s Extra Crispy Bake Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges”
