Please join us, even if you do not have a blog, by submitting one of your recipes to our event. http://www.grouprecipes.com/76278/time-to-be-thankful.html Now that it is summer and we go to the beach in the morning there are days that I want to make something quick and easy. This dish is quick, easy and delicious. http://www.grouprecipes.com/65619/penne-with-seafood-medley.html A very easy dessert to make and various flavourings may be added as well as different toppings. http://www.grouprecipes.com/63863/vanilla-and-coconut-panacotta.html My mom used to love baklava, and this is her recipe, although I added nutmeg, and substituted the almonds with pecans and walnuts. I learnt about pecans recently and have been using them often since then and they have become a killer combination in the flaky, sticky pastry. http://www.grouprecipes.com/63331/greek-baklavas.html You all know tzatziki and here are two variations I made which are great. http://www.grouprecipes.com/62275/carrot-and-purslane-tzatziki.html Although purslane is a vegetable I tried when I was younger, I was rather indifferent about it and since leaving home I never bothered to buy it again. I decided that it was time to give it a second chance and I must say that I regret that I hadn’t tried it again all these years. I will definitely buy it over and over again not only because it is healthy but also because it is very tasty. http://www.grouprecipes.com/62273/purslane-salad.html As much as I love cooking, there are a few days that I want to cook something quick and easy and what is easier than a pasta dish? I prepared Farfalle with Aubergines, peppers and Purslane Pesto in less than twenty minutes. http://www.grouprecipes.com/62111/farfalle-with-aubergines-peppers-and-purslane-pesto.html I was never fond of purslane when I was young but reading about its properties made me think and I decided to give it a second chance. I made a salad which I will post another day and a Purslane Pesto. I am glad I decided to try it. http://www.grouprecipes.com/62049/greek-style-purslane-pesto.html F your children don't like fish and vegetables this is something they will love as I am talking from experience. This dish is not only delicious but it is a very healthy one as well. http://www.grouprecipes.com/61745/fish-mayonnaise.html The Mille-feuille, meaning 'thousand sheets', vanilla slice, cream slice or custard slice, is a pastry made of several layers of puff pastry alternating with a sweet filling, typically pastry cream, but sometimes whipped cream, or both. http://www.grouprecipes.com/58676/easy-millefeuilles.html
