Greek Mac & Cheese
We put a little twist on an all-American favorite, mac and cheese, and we loved the results so we decided to share! We think you’ll enjoy this as much as we did! We used whole grain pasta for some added fiber and some wonderful Greek cheeses we bought at the local Greek market and added some grass fed ground lamb and made it a one pan meal. Great for these cold winter days!

Greek Quiche
Since one of the Greek Sisters (Joanna) is a vegetarian, she’s always coming up with ways to make Greek dishes without meat. This recipe takes a couple of components from Greek favorites but is prepared like a quiche, which makes it easy to omit meat and easy to make. So we have potatoes from moussaka, spinach and feta from spanakopita, and eggs to hold it together like a quiche. Interesting… and delicious!

Eggplant Tomato & Onion Saute with Lentils
Our neighbor’s garden had a great season and they generously shared with us for this recipe! Since we had the fresh eggplants and tomatoes from their garden, as well as onions, capers, and lentils on hand, we decided to make a delicious and healthy saute! It’s quite an easy (and did we mention healthy) recipe and a good way to use up the last of garden’s summer produce. You’ll love it!

White Bean Soup with Spiced Brown Butter
Just in time for Christmas, this delicious white bean soup is the perfect answer to a cold winter’s evening. It is savory, filling, and best of all, healthy! We’ve enjoyed this recipe time and time again, and we think you’ll love it! Kali orexi!

Araka (Pea Stew)
The other day my sisters and I were talking about our favorite dishes from childhood and Joanna listed araka as one of her favorites. Our mom used to make it for us all time, partly because she could make a big batch at once, and partly because it was good for us. But mostly because we all would eat it. We loved this dish as kids and really missed it when we realized we haven’t had araka in years so, of course, my sisters had to make it.
