Family Recipes


Last week when I was researching ways to preserve fresh figs, I stumbled across a lovely blog food for thought and let me tell you, I'm glad I did, because not only are Jelena's recipes beautifully presented but they are also delicious! I think once the lemons from the garden are ripe, I'll finally attempt to make a lemon meringue pie.How about these walnut and honey triangles? YUM!
Hollands corn rolls with ricotta, ham and cheese
I joked with hubby that I was finally going to learn how to prepare some of his Mom's favorite recipes. I just love this eggplant recipe, it's like a piece of artwork except it's edible!

1 aubergine (eggplant) 800g
3 large tomatoes cut in half then sliced thin
300gm of feta crumbled
3 garlic cloves finely chopped
cup of parsley
olive oil
basil (fresh or dry)
salt

It's a shame hubby is now following the P90x program because he will be missing out on many delicious recipes. You can click here for more of Jelena's yummy recipes.

  6. Jelena, thanks again for sharing your recipes. You have given me a great idea. Especially now that we are growing jalapenos! I just need to find the flour for corn tortillas and I will be a happy Mexican girl!

  7. The eggplant is beautiful! My husband is always staring at his set of p90x...but until staring turns into movement, it's eggplant time. :)

  8. Leigha,
    I joined hubby for one day of P90x and I was so sore the next day! It's tough and takes alot of motivation, but once you get started, it's sorta of 'addicting' to exercise.
    Let me know how the recipe turns out!
