Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
In this healthy Mediterranean bean salad recipe, savory herbs, tangy lemon, and fresh vegetables brighten the flavor of canned butter beans, and feta cheese and kalamata olives pack a punch!
I’m a big fan of bold flavors.
Raw onion.
Fresh dill.
Kalamata olives.
Feta.
Garlic.
…Spanakopita (Greek Spinach Pie) has crisp, buttery layers of phyllo dough and a savory spinach filling with garlic, fresh herbs, and feta....
These Spanakopita Puff Pastry Bites have a crunchy, buttery puff pastry crust paired with a flavorful garlic, dill, kale, and feta filling. They are easy to make and perfect for your next party! Given the choice between a big, one-plate meal (like lasagna or roast chicken), or a meal of several small dishes, I will choose the small dishes at least nine out of ten times. That tenth time I just need roast chicken, lol....
For all the Chicken Souvlaki lovers, my Low Carb One Pan Greek Baked Chicken Dinner with Tzatziki Sauce is easy to whip up and won’t leave you with a sink full of dishes! It’s as healthy as it is delicious, and makes a great weeknight dinner. One of my all-time favorite meals to get at a Greek diner is Chicken Souvlaki, served as a giant salad along with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, Kalamata olives, pepperoncini, feta cheese, pita bread, and Greek salad dressing. This Greek baked chicken dinner is reminiscent of that with marinated chicken, but it’s a bit heartier, with roasted veggies standing in for […]...
This gluten free Low Carb Moussaka (Greek Beef Eggplant Casserole) recipe has a couple non-traditional elements that make it truly special. Greece has been on my bucket list of travel destinations for forever now. When I think of Greece, I think of ancient ruins. The brilliant blue of the Aegean Sea, contrasted by the pristine white houses. And the food, of course the food....
Spanakopita Potato Salad is a fun twist on potato salad, and a unique dish to bring to any bbq, picnic, or potluck! When Mike and I invite neighbors over for dinner, we typically make one of two things, depending on the weather: grilled meats (like chicken, steak, and/or fish) when it’s warm out, or a rice-based dish (like biryani or maqluba, or an Indian or Thai curry with rice on the side) when it’s cold....
The holidays are over, but that doesn’t mean we’re done entertaining. There’s always something to celebrate and if there’s one thing I think we can all agree on about a party, it’s that there should be food. But yeah, maybe food that’s a little lighter because the holidays did just end and let’s face it, many of us probably need to cut back just a bit on indulgence right now. We don’t have to sacrifice flavor though!...
Thank you to Tyson Foods for sponsoring this post. I am happy for the opportunity to share brands that I believe in with my readers, and I hope you enjoy my recipe for Herbed Chicken and Brown Rice Spanakopita Bowls. I don’t know who first came up with the idea of a meal in a bowl (for some reason, I feel like it was a fast food chain!), but whoever it was is a food genius....
Roasted Greek Potatoes are an easy and delicious side dish that pairs well with just about anything. I’d say Greek potatoes are my favorite Greek food, but then I remember gyros (or even kebab meatballs served gyro-style…mmm)…and saganaki…and spanakopita. I want it all, lol. But, I will say, every time Mike and I eat at a Greek restaurant we order a side of roasted potatoes to share and never get sick of them....
I want to thank all of you who participated in my Good Earth giveaway! And the winner is… Coco of Balance, Joy and Delicias! Coco, please email me your address so I can have your prize pack sent out. Now onto the baklava! The secret to a great baklava is the syrup, which serves two purposes: it makes the baklava sweet (the sweetness of the dish comes entirely from the syrup since there’s no sugar between the layers) and it moistens the baklava. Too much syrup and the baklava is soggy, too little and it’s dry. This might not sound like a big deal, but the texture […]...
