My family and guests love this recipe. I have made it at least 8 times now. It’s on our regular rotation.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

Hey friends❣️ I’m sharing one of my favorite soups with you today ~ it comes from sunny Greece and it’s ridiculously simple to make. If you love lemon, chicken, and rice (or pasta), you’re going to love this one. I’m also sharing a new-old bread from the 1970s. Anna Thomas herself calls it “the best bread I’ve ever made,” which is high praise from someone who defined the era and inspired so many of us with a lifelong respect for real food. Enjoy your Sunday! Greek Avgolemono Soup with Chicken...

Are we losing touch with real flavor? 🍊

Hey friends❣️ I think about this a lot. Natural flavors are being crowded out by artificial ones, and it’s changing how food tastes ~ sometimes in ways we barely notice. Today’s new recipe celebrates the vibrancy of real citrus (and a flavor trick I’ve relied on for years.) Please take a minute to add me to your trusted sources on Google ~ this tells Google you trust and want to see my content. (You'll get less AI slop and more delicious recipes!)
