Ah I remember her, she had some pretty good home cooking recipies! For something a little faster but still good, take a look at Akis. https://www.youtube.com/user/akispetretzikis/featured Sadly most of his videos don't have eng subs, but they do link to his website for each recipe which always has an english translation.…

Yooly we have canned and frozen here, I don't think I've ever seen fresh mackerel in the fish market I go to. Well I mean I have, but it is a slightly different species technically (scomber colias, or Tinker Mackerel). In Greek it's called Κολιός, and August is the month that we get it fresh. That is what I used for the…

Yep, regular garden peas (frozen packet). Missed the season unfortunately, they had some fresh in the market a couple of weeks ago.

A mackerel stew today, it's been a while since I made a batch. Yummy, but I think it needed a little more salt. That's an easy one to fix tho.

Happy birthday Yooly!! Enjoy your trip! :)

laurie that sounds like a good plan! I really think that moderation is really hard to master, and somewhat difficult to define from time to time. My personal experience though is that it really pays dividends in the end.

a) Both are more savory tasting, with a very slight hint of sweetness coming from the carob flour. They go very well with anything really. b) The first one is a proper rusk, made with 3 ingredients only. Hard but not too dense and definitely not tooth-breaking. The second one is much crunchier (and processed tho), I think…

guilty!! :D

So, made some lasagna today! :) Taste was incredible but look,..not so much. :p

Sorry girls. No carob, no party. B)

She can go to any supermarket here and grab some. I use two particular brands personally. These are my favorite: https://www.sklavenitis.gr/eidi-artozacharoplasteioy/kritsinia-paximadia-fryganies/paximadia/filedem-dakakia-me-haroupi-horis-alati-400gr/ and in a pinch I can also get those:…

Oh lasagna, good idea! It's been quite I while since I made some and the freezer is running out of things to pull out, think I'll make some tomorrow or the next. Today, last raid on my frozen green bean stew batch, I'm out. Had a pretty decent gluten free low cal turkey sausage to add to it, pretty good once in a while.…

Oh, and purslane! Was lucky to find some this time around (the guy that tends to have it comes and goes as he pleases, twas a month till I last saw him in the market), So this is officially purslane-tomato salad week!

Man, it rained today here in Athens. While the temp went down a tad, the combination of heat and moisture was absolutely brutal, I had to shower three times today... :s At least I managed to get some groceries for the week at my farmers market (we got one coming in the neighborhood every Monday, and another somewhat close…

Today I made black-eyed pea salad, and threw in a spicy sardine can for good measure. It's been a while till I last had them, delicious!

Bella is it this one? https://smoe.gr/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=7826 I'll have to get me some to try out, it's not a widely sold brand here in Greece. Also stewed rhubarb is a nice touch, thanks for the suggestion!

Wanted to share one of my go-to breakfast choices. It's less than 500kcal for the whole thing, weighs almost exactly one pound, it is ridiculously satiating and packs a lot of protein, Omega-3 and fibre, as well as a lot of other micronutrients. Might be less sweet tasting than some would like, but I actually like it that…

But I didn't? The only "new" information in the OP is the new study about exercise and muscle mitochondrial metabolism in diet-resistant obesity. ;) The part about "outrunning your fork" is very well known (and the old Vox article I linked explains the reasons for it through studies). But NorthCascades was somewhat…

Would you care to elaborate? My understanding is that "outrunning your own fork" means it is very difficult to balance out a bad nutrition with exercise for weight loss. Especially long term. This is the specific definition I was trying to communicate when posting the Vox article. Did you mean something different?

Thanks for the kind words. Well, so far it's been a breeze really, I just eat a little more and work-out a little more. I cannot lose too much more weight as it is, since my body fat numbers are pretty low now. I'd love to move sloooooowly towards a 25 BMI if I can though, we will have to see. You are right, there is no…

Good going, and yes, bodies are certainly very weird! Did you see any difference in your digestive system this past week?

This is the can I'm talking about...no rice like materials or cotton seed oil lol (man, where do you buy your cans from?). Didn't really add or dilute them with anything, I just served them. https://www.palirria.com/pd/sweet-spicy-dolmas-stuffed-vine-leaves-with-rice-cherry-peppers-43285.htm?lang=en&path=603835183 With…

Today I ran to the supermarket and got me a can of dolmadhakia (vine leaves stuffed with rice). It's been quite some time till I had some, they were delicious!

For the record, I don't think there would be any risk. Cooking the pizza at the high temperature needed to get it right would destroy anything and everything the poor fly could have contributed to the mix. p..probably.. :D

It's an easy one PAV, but beware, I like spicy stuff! 1 tbsp Olive oil 1 tbsp Mustard 1 tbsp katiki cheese (or go for cottage if you can't find it) 10gr grated Kerrygold Light Balsamic Vinegar Pepper mix Oregano Dried Garlic Cayenne Pepper Bukovo Curcumin No salt needed. This should be enough for at least a 10 bunnie…

You really had me for a second there...phew! :p :D

Today we ate at our mothers, my brother and family came too. Roasted veal in lemon sauce with linguini was the order of the day. Delicious! The meat came from my uncle Spyro in the village, he has a small herd of cows and sheep (among other animals). Of course, I brought my own salad, I think you can spot it in there... :p
