Main entrée and side dishes.
When I find myself unsure of what to make for the day, I often just go to the grocery store and peruse the aisles until something sparks my interest. Now, it’s not necessarily the best idea to go shopping while hungry! Especially if you may […]
I made Spinach Pie the other day and have leftover phyllo dough. Phyllo dough comes in much larger quantities than you need for a single dish! So, I always have the debate over what else to do with it. You can freeze it. But really, […]
