Oh, hello there.

It’s me, the girl who can’t quit Feta Cheese.

I don’t eat that much dairy but I go through phases and right now we are in a Feta Cheese phase. I have been putting Feta in wraps, tossing it into quinoa and topping snap peas with it.

The sad part is that my husband is not really a Feta fan but has to endure this Feta infatuation while patiently and kindly trying to pretend that he doesn’t notice. Or pretend he likes it. Or maybe he is just a good sport!?!

The good news is that I am sure this phase is almost over, well… maybe after we have some Greek Salad.
