Xristos Anesti! Happy Easter to all my friends and family celebrating today! This year my parents were so lucky to celebrate the holiday back home in Greece with family there, for the first time in over 40yrs!!
Here at home, it's just me today, but given every other day of this week I'm running around doing so much, I was happy to not schedule a single thing, and make a small meal to celebrate Pasxa/Easter!

Spring is here...well on some days summer or winter sneak in! Whatever the weather, Greek Easter is just around the corner, followed by Mother's Day!
Do you really need a special occasion to enjoy a treat once in a while??

A little bit of this, and a little bit of that! Not your typical Spanakopita here. We've got spinach, leeks, feta cheese and some gruyere. Give them a good mix, wrap them in phyllo and we've got pie!

How about a chewy almond cookie or pillowy soft bun to warm your soul?

Especially since this weekend was a stay at home, don't go out, here comes the snow kind of weekend!! And I had much work to catch up on, but I still found time to spend in the kitchen.

I've been wanting to make these Greek almond cookies for a long time. It seemed the perfect weekend to give them a go. Just 4 ingredients, egg whites, sugar, almond flour and salt! Mission accomplished!! These are perfect when they have a chewy middle.
Chewy ✅
Almondy ✅

With those complete, I was left with 4 yolks, and I really didn't want anything wasted. So, since I am off to the warm island of Puerto Rico next week, in honor of that trip, I finally tried my hand at Mallorca Sweet bread. Now I can try it and see how mine fair to the original. They are oh so slightly sweet, & so soft. Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea!

A simple photo would do no justice to such a lovely center piece! Such a showstopper needs it's own story! I hope you enjoy, I know a few people that quite literally did enjoy a piece last night!

A dessert sure to wow the crowd!

It's been awhile friends, but this girl is not ready to put the Kitchen Aid away yet!! I may have less time to spend in the kitchen, but when I do fund time, I make good use of it!
These beauties turned out bigger than I planned!!! Not a problem though, because they just packed in a whole lot of flavor! Lemon Meringue filled donuts!!
I took them to my coworkers as well as some to the Events team. All I heard as I was leaving their office, was how they needed to grab a piece now ir thwy may lose out later!! 🎶 to my ❤️
