Greek Grilled Cheese
Yet another allrecipes meal that I've taken and made my own with a few alterations.
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 teaspoons butter, softened
2 - 3 slices whole wheat bread, or your favorite bread
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
1 slice Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon chopped red (or white) onion
1/4 tomato, thinly sliced
I personally don't really like tomato, so I left that out and added a little garlic. Almost everything I cook tends to have a little garlic in it at some point!

Rum Pumpkin Cupcakes
Every weekend I have this little obsession of browsing through the recipes of Bon Appetit, Gourmet, Martha Stewart & Sunset magazines in search for a little inspiration or a recipe that is unique and fun. This Sunday I had a hankering for something Fall, Halloween themed and Sassy. Something that I could easily ship to work to feed my coworkers and something that I could add a personal twist too.
Give 'em Grilled Cheese
I was a latecomer to the wonderful world of grilled cheese. When I was younger, I didn't eat much cheese, due to apparent insanity, and when I got a little older, I honestly thought that you couldn't make grilled cheese without using American cheese.
Sooooo not a fan of American cheese.

An Introduction to Greek Food and Greek Cooking...
Greek cooking offers an incredibly rich and diverse array of foods and beverages that are the culmination of literally thousands of years of living, cooking, and eating. While each Greek meal is fresh and inviting, it is also a trip back through Greece's history.
Ingredients
The names of foods, cooking methods, and basic ingredients have changed little over time.
Greece - What to Eat
Greece is a land of vibrant cuisine. It is food that is neither spicy nor bland, but rich in the flavors of the Mediterranean. It is comfort food in the truest sense of the word.
Benefits of Greek Olive Oil
Olive oil for many Westerners may be just simple cooking oil, but to the people of Greece it is much more than that. In the ancient Mediterranean civilisations, olive oil was inseparable from civilised life itself. Olive oil was not only an important food item but it was also burned in lamps to provide light, it could be used as a lubricant, and it was blended with essences to produce fragrant oils.
Eat like a Greek !
PEOPLE who eat a classic Mediterranean diet rich in vegetables, fruits, olive oil, cereals and fish live longer, and are healthier. But a study in Greece has shown that it is the diet as a whole, rather than any specific individual component, that confers health benefits.
Researchers from the University of Athens and the Harvard School of Public Health recorded the eating habits of 22,000 Greek people, and followed their subsequent health and mortality for an average of 3.7 years.
