Quick Broccoli Side

Great alternative to that disgusting box mac and cheese.

Merry Christmas….I hope you all had a lovely day and a delicious dinner or lunch. We had a small family gathering for lunch yesterday at my home, this year was different much quieter, not much laughing, but we have a good friend visiting from Greece and he tried to cheer everyone up with his jokes, he did have some great jokes but our spirit was just not into it with the loss.Anyway on with the recipe, I cooked with the help of my mom, we got everything done a bit quicker so I didn’t have to spend Christmas day in the kitchen. Now, I know that not everyone loves Brussels Sprouts but they are quite delicious if you tweak them with lovely ingredients that just gives them a burst of taste. At the Christmas table yesterday we had the usual salads, potatoes, Turkey, and ohhhh I shouldn’t forget to mention that they all wanted Tzaziki added to the table. Now how in the world does this dish combine into the Christmas table I have no idea, but as they say “to each his own”.I wanted to add this lovely side dish for an extra little surprise, and they did enjoy eating it just as much as they did the Tzatziki!!

Hello everyone, Ok, well I think I will start with this news before I go into my recipe post for the day. I have a bit of news, I have been put on the list of the Top 40 Greek Food Blogs and Websites to follow for 2018, 🙂 I would like to thank FEEDSPOT for this honor as I am very humbled and grateful. :THANK YOU FEEDSPOT!! 🙂 https://blog.feedspot.com/greek_food_blogs This is exciting news for me, and so I wanted to share this with all of you, and to thank you for your so very kind comments and support. 🙂 THANK YOU!!!Do you love yogurt or maybe Greek Yogurt? Well here is a dip for those Veggies that you love. Since it continues to be warm and sunny, a refreshing dip was exactly what I wanted for lunch. I had Broccoli in the fridge. 🙁 I know as a Food Blogger not having more veggies is ridiculous but honestly this weeks batch of veggies in the market ufff well lets just say “no like”. I could say that I am a bit picky when it comes to shopping veggies and fruit, I like them to smell and taste as good like fruits and veggies but sometimes that is surely is not the case. 🙁I cut the Broccoli into bite size pieces and roasted these delicious little treats, drizzled with Olive Oil, a pinch of Salt & Pepper and my absolutely must topping Sweet Paprika. Love it!!

I like to have a salad with every meal. This is quick and easy. You can substitute and add any types of veggies you prefer. But this is my everyday salad!

Be careful not to boil the chicken for too long or it will become tough. If you boil it at 75℃/167F, it will turn out nice and tender. Recipe by Kirei

Serve as side to meat dishes.

i used white onion because i was out of red.

This is a very simple and quick recipe. Not much preparation needed and easy to clean up (very important for someone (me) who does not use dishwasher lol)

#heirloomThis is a quick side dish my family loves. I threw stuff into a pan and this rice dish was created. It has so few ingredients but is so delicious and it compliments fish so well.
