Even though I often substitute with healthy ingredients in my baking, there are some things that you just don't change! A little treat never hurt...and these are good! I made them for Mother's Day and got rave reviews from the family. The icing is sweet (what icing isn't?), so if you prefer, you can serve them without it. They taste wonderful both ways!

Beat the summer heat with this special Greek recipe for orzo with feta, cucumber, and tomato. It makes a large batch and is good for parties and picnics, or you can keep it all to yourself. It will stay in the fridge for four days or so. It is really nice for summer get-togethers and parties as you can make it well in advance.
