It's National Chocolate Cake Day!! But we're Greek 🇬🇷, and so we've decided to put a Greek 🇬🇷spin on this wonderful food day and instead share our recipe for Chocolate Halva (we figure there may never be a National Halva Day...but there should be!). The basics of halva, a simple, vegan semolina-based dessert, are like a blank canvas to which much creativity can be added. We had a lot of fun putting a chocolate spin on this halva recipe, using both cocoa powder and chocolate chips. So, although it may not be cake, it deserves to be celebrated none the less.

Sometimes we are so lazy! Like, stay-in- bed-all-day-reading-and- eating-bon-bons lazy. Or, too-tired-to-cook-so-have cereal-for-dinner lazy. It happens, and we don’t have the energy to pretend that it doesn’t.

If youth is wasted on the young, then so too is spanakorizo. This much loved dish in our adult years was the bane of our existence when we were children. We hated it. All of us - our older brother joined us (led us actually) in devising elaborate schemes to rid ourselves of this meal, which we found repulsive, without our parents noticing.

Spaghetti squash is relatively new to us - this is not something that our parents ever cooked and in fact, when we first showed them a spaghetti squash the only question they had was, "Can you make a pita with this?". Good question! Our parents have never met a gourd that they can't turn into a fritter or a pita - the spaghetti squash however has been off their radar.

What an exciting weekend of football 🏈 it's been, including the game that just ended between the Rams and the Buccaneers!! Whether you are a football family like one of us is, or just enjoy good snacks, this is the time for finger foods, dipping foods and two-bite foods. One sport staple snack that is a must are chicken wings. Our chicken wings are baked, not fried, but we use a special technique that makes them crispy and pretty amazing! Serve these wings with our feta dipping sauce and enjoy the game. And Go Niners!!

Greeks LOVE syrup-soaked desserts. Although baklava and galaktoboureko are very common, many people don't realize that there is a whole world of siropiasta (that's Greek for "syrup soaked") to discover. Like this cake. This light, fluffy, dairy-free orange cake is called pantespani and it is a classic dessert in the Peloponnese. This cake was made often in our mother's village which was rich with orange groves. Now that it's citrus season we think it's the perfect time for you to give this recipe a try. Let us know if you do make it guys, and how you enjoy it :) xoxo Helen & Billie

It's fun managing a food blog with someone else, especially when that someone else is your sister! We are so lucky, although we often joke that one of us is luckier than the other! Ha! 😜Seriously though - after years of working together we understand each other's strengths, skills, and limits. But sometimes we understand less. Like now. One of us has asked the other to write an Instagram caption for our baked feta with honey. That's a typical ask - and usually works out fine.

<ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND KALE SALAD > We think that our roasted cauliflower and kale 🥗 salad is perfect for people who say they don't like cauliflower and kale. Seriously! This salad is so full of flavour, has so many lovely textures, that reluctant eaters will be shocked as they find themselves going for seconds. We've seen it happen with our own eyes! Head on over to the blog for the complete recipe, plus lots of helpful hints. Enjoy guys, even those of you who think you won't. :) xoxo Helen & Billie 🥰
