Raw pear tarts.

Monday, December 6th, 2010


These will last up to two days in the fridge.

If I keep posting recipes from Ani’s Raw Food Kitchen, by Ani Phyo I may get sued but I just can’t resist. These tarts are the bomb. They are by far our favorite out of Ani’s book hands down. J said they taste and look like something you would get at a nice restaurant and has requested me to make these several times since. I usually just halve the recipe since there are only three of us. I squeeze half the recipe into three cups and it works out perfect. Be sure to use individual mini tart cups or like I used, the individual silicon muffin cups. That way you can flip them over to remove them one at a time. Or if you made one large tart you can just leave it in the pan and take out individual slices. I like the little personal cups myself. Z loved them needless to say. Whole food, raw, nuts and fruits, the best food you can put in your body. Don’t skip this one!

Spankin good spanakopita – spinach pie.

Monday, February 8th, 2010

What can I say, this house loves Greek food. Every year we hit the Greek food festival devouring some of our favorite foods, spanakopita, tiropita, and baklava. I bought some phyllo dough the other day and was itching to use it and there could be no better way than some of our favorites. So I went to foodgawker as usual and found this recipe at closetcooking.com which sounded perfect. As I was reading the recipe I saw Kevin also had a recipe for baklava so I was like what the hell. Reading the two recipes I found that the baklava would need to sit for a few hours after it was made so I made it first and moved on to the spinach pie. WOW! This pie was amazing! I didn’t think it would come out this good but it did. Kid tested and mother approved. You can’t beat that.
