Spanakopita!!!!


Well yesterday I did something I have never done before. I actually made a Greek dish called Spanakopita. It is something my Greek grandparents made every year and I enjoyed so much. They made the filo dough from scratch but I didn't attempt that. I used 4 sticks of butter as each paper thin layer needs to be brushed. It really did turn out pretty good - for those that don't know it is a spinach and cheese mixture that is topped and bottomed with filo. Take a look at the picture...

Had a great Christmas but the best has been this week without any work responsibilities. And with Christa home from France it has been wonderful. Can't remember the last time I was this stress free. It really needs to be this way more often. Nina and I actually walked in the snow and sunshine today!
