I hope you don't mind seeing some little crawly things... here is a little fellow who was also enjoying the nicer weather when I went outside today...
Okay now back to Greek food -
When I went to the grocery store yesterday I was so surpised to see a frozen "Greek Style" pizza. It was pretty good, but as I said earlier - I was so not in the mood to cook! Anyway, if it happens to be in your grocery store you can look for it. It is Palermo's Greek Pizza and the toppings include creamy garlic sauce, mozerella and feta cheese, diced tomatoes, green and kalamata olives, diced onions and artichokes, oregano, and Pamesan, Romano, and Asiago cheeses. My older son-in-law makes fantastic pizza from scratch, but I don't quite have "the hang of it." Maybe I will try making this from scratch in the fall.
I pulled out an old favorite recipe for lunch today that is a yummy chicken cooked with Granny Smith apples and mushrooms. You serve it over lettuce and top with pecans. I added a few fresh blueberries as a topping as well. (Yes, I picked those this morning while I was enjoying the nice weather.) I found this huge Greek cookbook when I was in the local library yesterday. It's called Vefa's Kitchen. I plan to make a chicken and Greek potato recipe from it for dinner. (Sure hope it is good.) The hot weather slowed me down on developing more Greek cooking skills so maybe I can attempt a few of these recipes before the hot weather comes back!
I've leaving you with a final picture of the day. Someone gave me some Blue Jade Corn seeds in a swap last year (I do lots of garden swaps) and this is one of the few - or only type of - corn plant that will grow in a container. I have four plants growing here. It is so pretty and all of my plants have tassels (flowers) so maybe I will get to save some seed from it. I am very curious to try it out!
Are there any bloggers reading this who are also learning more about Greek cooking? If so, I would love to have you comment. I'll see you when I post again.
