Spanakopitakia

Now that is a fun word to say: spanakopitakia, spanakopitakia, SPANAOPITAKIA!!!These are wonderful little treats to have around the house or to make for a party, just grab and go! They are just a little more work than making a big spanakopita, but the extra step of folding each one individually makes for a nice change (and sometimes of a less mess when eating too).You will follow the same recipe as Spanakopita but instead of layering in a dish, you will roll into individual triangles. Easy Peasy.
Presvitera’s Homemade Phyllo
Today I get to share with you homemade phyllo dough by one of the best homemakers ever, my mother-in-law. She is a self taught cook beginning from the time she married, and has amazingly developed her cooking skills along with raising 5 wonderful children - of whom I married the eldest. I have been trying to learn some of her recipes so that I can recreate them for my husband anytime he is feeling homesick for Greece. The only problem with that is ,like with all good cooks (and most Greeks), she uses a few recipes and doesn’t quite measure the same as us Americans. Here they use water glasses, coffee cups, and soup or sweet spoons – no fancy measuring cups to go by. It makes trying to copycat her recipes a bit more difficult, but with time I will continue to try.
Spiraled Cheese Pie
You can easily make your own tyropita for a party or just for something fun and delicious to snack on next time you are craving something savory. Whether you choose to make it spiraled, cigar shaped, or simply in a cake pan and cut into squares is up to you!

Tyropita me praso.
To start off this new food blog of mine, I would like to share my first recipe I found from the Sporades islands. Well, I did not actually find it there – it hails from there to be more specific.
It is a simple, yet delicately delicious, “quiche-like” cheese pie. It is perfectly suitable for a mid-morning snack, a light lunch combo served with a salad, or an after-dinner-but-I-am-still-hungry delight. Whatever time of day, a sure to satisfy recipe follows!
