Easy Cheesy Chili Empanaditas

Posted by Hallee on May 5, 2010 in entrees, Hallee's Galley, Holiday fare, Mexican, Recipes, Snacks, starters

This is an amazing dish. The pastry is so light and buttery that it nearly melts in your mouth. The cheese combined with the chilies is a remarkable flavor. They can be an appetizer for a Cinco de Mayo celebration, or a delicious and savory treat for lunch.

Sesame Baklava (Baklavas Sousamenios)

Posted by Hallee on Mar 30, 2010 in Christian Faith, Daniel Fast, Desserts, diet & fasting, Hallee's Galley, Holiday fare, Recipes

Serving this delightful and easy version of baklava – a layered sweet made with thin phyllo sheets – is an old custom on Christmas Eve in Thrace, and other areas of Greece. Made with olive oil, the pastry meets Greek Orthodox Lenten-type fasting guidelines, and it’s a delicious alternative to other versions of baklava, especially for those who avoid nuts.

Christmas Churros (Mexican Doughnut Strips)

Posted by Hallee on Dec 22, 2009 in Breads, Breakfast, Desserts, Hallee's Galley, Mexican, Recipes

This is my family’s traditional breakfast for Christmas morning. It’s a very light dough, crispy, with a delicate sweet flavor brought about by sprinkling it with sugar and cinnamon. I only make them for Christmas so that we have something different and new to look forward to every year.

Harvest Bread: a recipe for children

Posted by Hallee on Oct 12, 2009 in Breads, Hallee's Galley, Holiday fare, Parenting, Recipes

I was looking around online the other day to find something uniquely Canadian to post about Thanksgiving. Since Canadian Thanksgiving is actually a celebration of harvest and has nothing to do with pilgrims and the new world, what I found referenced over and over again was Harvest Bread.
