I will not take credit for this genius idea: fabric photocopy strips on pumpkins! Who even thought of this? I found the instructions on a magazine a few years ago, I made a couple back then and today I’m making more to show you how to make your own. For each one, I used: One… Continue Reading
Tzatziki is not really a dip, nor a sauce. It is an appetizer. It is meant to be rich and thick and served with other Greek appetizers (such as grilled octopus, fried zucchini), along with some ouzo, and few good friends by the beach (making you dream?). It’s also a great compliment to any grilled… Continue Reading
Are you ready for Halloween? If yes, great, because for me, it’s still a process. Why? Well, for someone from out of the country, Halloween in the USA is a total, absolute, unimaginable, unique experience. I have to admit that it took me some to time to get used to some (very) scary outdoor decor,… Continue Reading

Everyone loves pasta, but with this sauce you will have a totally new dish. Make ahead and boil your favorite pasta (tastes best with thick spaghetti) to have dinner ready in a few minutes! I like to make a large quantity and use the leftover, a couple of days later. INGREDIENTS 8 large… Continue Reading
My daughter found this cute fabric tape at Paper Source the other day, and bought it for me, knowing I would do something with it! Sure enough, as soon as she brought it home, I got to work! Remember those three IKEA desks I put in a row in the boy’s room? Well, they may… Continue Reading
