Almond Coconut Milk Sweetened with Date

Greek Spinach and Quinoa
Free from: gluten, eggs, dairy, yeast, soy and corn
When I was growing up one of my favorite comfort foods was Spanakoriso — Greek spinach and rice. It wasn’t fancy and in fact my mother used frozen spinach. Simply saute a chopped onion in a healthy douse of olive oil, add […]
