We made these on the weekend, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Delicious, herby, cheesy little nuggets! You can serve them with yogurt but as I have an endless supply, it seems, of Sungold cherry tomatoes, I roasted them up with slivers of garlic, salt, pepper and EVO and served the room temperature […]

Grilled Pork Chops With Tomato Chutney
The chops are very good and serving them with the chutney makes them utterly delicious adding that extra punch. I think this chutney would be good with any cut of pork, poultry or fish.

Zucchini Crostini

Green and Black Olive Tapenade
This is a dead-easy spread/topping. I like to use both Greek Kalamata olives and Greek green olives in brine. You will have to pit them but it’s not hard; just lay on a cutting board, place the back of a chef’s knife on the olive and give it a slight whack; just like when you […]
Tomato And Zucchini Frittata

Two of the best things about summer are tomatoes and zucchini from the garden or a farmer’s market or a wonderful neighbor who has too much for their own use. Got to love those people! Leftovers make a pretty good panino! […]
