Shortcake

Shortcake with Strawberries and whipped cream is a wonderful easy dessert. This is my great grandmother Stanley’s shortcake recipe. I love the old fashioned simplicity of the recipe. It’s quick and easy to make. I use a fluted French tart pan, which makes the shortcake thin. It is very dense. Top with berries and whipped cream. Even I can’t mess this recipe up!

Chicken Zorba

Chicken Zorba

This Chicken Zorba recipe is my nephew’s favorite dinner. It’s a recipe from a Sainsbury’s card from the early ’90s. I have to say, I understand why it’s his favorite dinner. The chicken is so tender (due to marinating it overnight) and flavorful. Also, the hummus and Greek yogurt mixture is heaven!
