2012_03_14-ChickenPita-1Edited.jpgOn Monday I went a little over the top with my Chicken Cordon Bleu-Croque Monsieur. To prove that's not how I always eat, I'm sharing a lighter meal that's perfect to enjoy any day of the week.

2011_10_17-Tentura.jpgQ: I spent some time in Athens, Greece after graduating college. While I was there, my friends and I discovered a shot that we were told was local to the area. It was served hot and tasted like warm apple crisp.

I would love to try to recreate this at home but can't remember what it's called and have no idea where to even begin trying to figure out what goes into it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It would be perfect for the cold snowy nights we're having!

2011_10-09-pastitsio4.jpgI am definitely a cold weather cook. Even in the spring and summer I can't seem to stop braising meats and baking casseroles. Comfort food is definitely a major theme in my kitchen. And while exploring Southern cuisine — which is the ultimate comfort food in my book — is my passion, I also enjoy exploring the comfort foods of other nations. More

2011_03_04-beets.jpgInspired by a dish at our favorite Greek restaurant, this is a dish we love to eat with pita bread for lunch or as an appetizer. Consisting of beets, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic, it's earthy, sweet, tangy, and very easy to make (just allow enough time to roast the beets). More

2010-12-15-GreekCookies.jpgI tried these cookies at a recent holiday party and haven’t been able to stop thinking about them since.

In texture, they were similar to Mexican wedding cakes - compact, a little crumbly, and wonderfully tender. But in flavor, they were more like gingerbread. The best gingerbread you’ve ever tasted.

Have you ever heard of these cookies? More

Not that we have anything against feta; you'll find it below. But there's more to Greek food than spanakopita (although that's represented, too). Greece, and especially all of its idyllic islands, is surrounded by water, meaning you get simple, roasted and grilled fish in addition to the more expected things like lamb and plump, slippery olives.

2010_05_07-MacandCheese.jpgI got a little inarticulate when confronted with this Greek mac and cheese. All I could say to myself was: Looks good. Looks really, really good. Um, do I have any feta? More

2010_03_18-fetafries.jpgYou'll have to excuse the silly snapshot. Our feta fry dinner (yes, dinner) was thrown together and quickly devoured at approximately 10 p.m. following a very long day. We usually appreciate somewhat more balanced Quick and Easy Weeknight Meals, but as a once-in-awhile treat, a plateful of fries, sweet potatoes, and feta cheese really hit the spot. More
