I am holding out just a few more days for vacation! The summer has been great so far. I love working with the kids in a relaxed setting, and they return the favor by being even sweeter and more carefree than during the school year! It is going to be incredibly difficult to say goodbye in just a few weeks. When we get back from break, there are only two weeks of academics left!!! Where does the time go???

The summer has been so much busier than I had anticipated, so fast and easy dinners are a must. Pasta is always a quick go-to meal. Tonight we made spaghetti and a buffalo meat sauce. Very nice, but for some reason we always manage to have too much meat in the sauce.

I love a dinner that takes less than 15 minutes to make!

Chicken+Olives+Couscous+Falafels=Greek Goodness.

What’s better than going Greek? Having Greek with great friends! Another movie night combined the two perfectly. Our concoction was delicious!

It’s always fun just putting ingredients together and testing to see if they work together. This was one of those times that it definitely worked! Imagine a Greek taco. We put the chicken, olives, feta cheese and lettuce on a pita. On the side: falafel and couscous. Fantastic!

The movie: ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’ is always fun to watch. It’s so fun to see which parts you relate to the most, which bits make you cringe, which spots make you glad that you have your own family, and the parts that make you wish you were Greek. Such a fun, sweet movie that’s fun every time you watch it!
