2 Ingredient Recipes

Feb 26, 2008 - My mother is a reader of Woman's Day Magazine (whose recipes I usually love) and she passed on these 2 ingredient recipe cards to me. Sure, some of them are a little odd and I will probably never, ever attempt, but there were a few that immediately grabbed my attention and I can't wait to try out! (Pineapple with coconut sorbet...:DROOL:) If you want the actually cards to print out and some additional ideas: http://www.womansday.com/food/6577/2-ingredient-recipe-cards.html, http://www.womansday.com/food/6373/none.html Appetizers Marinate mixed olives (jar) with freshly grated peel and juice from 1 lemon in refrigerator at least 24 hours. - 9 Comments

Greek in Manhattan

Aug 25, 2007 - Petros Restaurant 451 Manhattan Beach Blvd. Manhattan Beach, CA 90266 310.545.4100 I find Greek cuisine as one of the heartiest and healthiest food choices all around. And recently, one of our Greek friends just had her birthday and it was a no-brainer to check out Petros as it was just named "Top New Restaurant" by Zagat (and rightfully so). - 4 Comments
