[Jump to Recipe] Do you like lamb? I am Greek so I grew up eating lamb a lot, especially during Orthodox Easter, and LOVE it no matter the cut or preparation. If you are skeptical about eating lamb, or have tried it once and didn’t like it, give this recipe a try. Lamb rib chops are personally my favorite cut so the recipe uses them, but you can also use lamb loin chops if you can’t find ribs. They grill crispy on the edges, moist in the middle, and have a wonderful flavor from the marinade that I use. If you ever go to Greece then you definitely should give lamb chops (pieethakia arnisiou) a ..read more

[Jump to Recipe] If you like pork then you will love this recipe. This roasted pork butt can be used just as it is when you take it out of the oven or it can be shredded/pulled to make BBQ pulled pork, or crisp it up in the oven and make pork carnitas street tacos, or anything else you love to make with pork. Crisping it up in the oven gives it a wonderful texture and that burnt end taste. Top it with some type of pineapple relish/salsa or grilled pineapple and oh my! Nothing like pork and pineapple. This recipe uses lots of spices and fruit juices to give it that perfect taste, and to make i ..read more

[Jump to Recipe] Are you tired of eating meat all the time, or are just craving veggies? This is a wonderful and easy wrap to make. It’s light, healthy, tasty, and low carb-if you want it to be . You can make it with any veggies you want but I chose veggies that my mother used to cook a lot and converted them to a wrap! For the wrap you can use any type or flavor of a flat bread or you can just pile the veggies on top of lettuce for a salad. Wondering what you will have for breakfast? You can also use the veggies in scrambled eggs. Whatever your body and taste buds desire. This is a great di ..read more

[Jump to Recipe] If you have been to Greece you know that they love their tomato based red sauce dishes. You can find just about any fish, meat or veggie cooked in tomato sauce and served on it’s own with some yummy warm bread, to slop the sauce up, and feta cheese, or on top of pasta, fries, mashed potatoes, or rice. I have also used the meat with sauce to stuff tamales (now that is food fusion), and they are delicious! I can close my eyes and envision going to a tavern/restaurant in Greece where they have a selection of different main and side dishes and you can pick and choose your main an ..read more

[Jump to Recipe] These are one of my favorite snacks/side dishes to eat and the sister to spanakopita, another one of my favorites . A nice creamy and perfectly salty bite with a crunchy exterior. You can’t only eat one piece of this savory pastry, so go ahead and indulge! There are a few different ways to make tiropita. One way is easier than another, it just has feta, olive oil, eggs, spices and some fresh dill (or other herbs), and cottage cheese, ricotta or some other shredded cheeses. I tend to like the way my mother used to make them, with a béchamel base. It makes the inside a creamie ..read more

[Jump to Recipe] This sauce is simple to make and goes wonderful with falafel, gyro, souvlaki, roasted veggies or even on a salad if you thin it out with some water or extra lemon juice and olive oil. It also goes surprisingly well with curry dishes. Tahini is a paste made by grounding sesame seeds. It contains a good amount of protein and fiber, so it also makes a nice little snack with some pita. My version uses yogurt, which makes it a cross between a Greek tzatziki (without the cucumber, although it would be so yummy with some chopped cucumber in it too!) and regular tahini sauce, which d ..read more
