In my family, we always celebrate Easter twice as more often than not Orthodox Easter does not coincide with Western Easter. Orthodox Easter usually falls one to four weeks after its celebration by Western Christians, but occasionally, the two coincide. This year, just like last year, Orthodox Easter falls one week after the Western celebration and will be celebrated on April 16. The Week Leading to Orthodox Easter: Holy Week Easter is the most important religious holiday in the Orthodox Christian calendar. During the Holy Week, that is the week between Palm Sunday and Easter, preparations for Pascha (Easter) include the dyeing of the eggs, making the Greek Easter Cookies, and, baking the traditional braided and highly aromatic sweet-bread known as tsoureki (in the picture,...
Sunday: We'll go all the way back to Friday evening. John and I so appreciate the time change now as we're back to taking trash to the dump in the daylight hours. It's become a small respite for us two or three times a week when we've been home for a few days.Continue»(C) Terri Cheney

This is the best Baked Shrimp Scampi I have ever had. I have made this a few times before and I love it more every time. It is scrumptious. It is easy. You can make it ahead of time and it always looks impressive. This recipe is an Ina Garten recipe, so you know that if you follow it, it will work. Her recipes are fool-proof, if you ask me. It can be cooked all year long but I think it is a great festive season meal. I made this for Christmas dinner a few years ago and it was so perfect for the holiday. I am not a turkey-for-Christmas kind of girl. I make something different every year and...
Cheesy Green Bean Casserole is fantastic. It’s NOT the typical Green Bean Casserole recipe everyone makes for the holidays. This one is so much better! This one uses sour cream and Cheddar cheese to give it that creamy, gooey texture (instead of canned mushroom soup). It also includes celery, onion and a tasty Ritz cracker crumb topping that includes more Cheddar cheese. It’s a great side dish for any occasion, but certainly for holidays or company meals. Follow Me On Instagram! This recipe is one I’ve used many times with different vegetables. It’s mouthwatering with squash, asparagus, mixed vegetables, a blend of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots and certainly with green beans. Truly, this recipe never lets me down. I’ve used...
