Italian Spinach Pie(double crust or topless)
Another one of those recipes that has been floating around my family for as long as I can remember. My aunts don't add a top crust but I like to when making for myself for extra crunch. I'm the only one who added meat and that's only for my niece.

Spinach Pie Spinach Pie
This dish is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner.I love spinach. The first time I made this because I was given a bunch of free spinach from a grocery store tossing it out. The amount of flour may be adjusted next time I make it. It may need a little more. I may toss in a few mushrooms next time. If 2 pies are too many, you can freeze one for another time. The spices are optional. I'm Cajun so everything must have some spice!

Greek Custard Pie (Bougatsa) Greek Custard Pie (Bougatsa)
I’ve been working on my baking skills this week, mainly because the holidays are coming up. I haven’t made any Christmas Cookies or Cakes these past few years, so as I’m sitting here thinking what should I add to my Christmas baking list. 🙂I have wanted to make this pastry for a while and I found Semolina at the supermarket so I gave it try yesterday and it turned out so creamy and delicious. This Custard pie a popular breakfast pastry in Greece as the bagel is in the US…:) This pie’s origin is from Northern Greece a city called Serres, and become very popular in Thessaloniki and then expanded to the rest of Greece. It is eaten warm with sugar powder and cinnamon sprinkled all over. Yummmyyyy!!! I forgot to mention that there is also another version of this pastry with a cheese filling.. I have tried it but it reminds me of eating a Cheese puff (Tyropita) rather than the sweet taste of custard…:)You can find shops/bakeries all around Greece that are open from very early in the morning for the morning rush hour, but there are shops that are open 24/7 for those who have been out late night and just wanted to eat something other than Souvlaki :). Just a few ingredients are needed for this delicious sweet pastry. Hope you enjoy 🙂
