Pasta Flora

It was international night again last month. We decided to go greek! OOpah! The main entre was absolutely terrible, though my friends were kind enough to eat it. But the star of the show was the dessert - Pasta Flora. It's essentially and cherry pie, greek-style. I found the recipe here and I have to say, it was pretty easy and pretty tasty!

Carne Asada

Comfort food to me means a lot of things. There are several things from my time spent in South Carolina that I just love, like boiled peanuts and mac and cheese. But I also embrace chips and queso and bean and cheese burritos. So delicious! My husband loves carne asada. So we made some fantastic yummyness!

Quiche

I fell in love with quiche in college. It was a food that my lacto-ovo-pesco vegetarian friends and I could eat together. Best of all, we could buy it at the local deli pre-made and all we had to do was heat it up. It was fabulous. Fast forward a few years and when my husband asked me if I wanted to make a quiche I instantly said, "Yes!" Of course, I had no idea how. But it wasn't hard and the longest part is letting it cook for an hour. So I felt like I needed to share this with you. It's so yummy!

Chicken Piccatta

Here in sunny North Carolina, we get a syndicated cooking show on the local news called Cooking At Home. Mr. Dan Eaton had a recipe that honestly looked delicious, and I had to try it - Turkey Picatta. I have nothing against turkey, but chicken is much more available, so I made the chicken version, and even my husband complimented it.
