Back, what seems eons ago in January, I chose the word JOY as my word of intention through this year. My life got off track a bit and I was starting to get overwhelmed by health stuff and home stuff. I went back and read my resolution to choose JOY in making decisions and living…

Kotopoulo Skorthato (Lemon Garlic Chicken) and a Power Outage
I was in a meeting at 5:55 pm when I received a text from home. It is storming out and we have no power. Ugh. There goes all my plans out the window. There were 1,200 people without power in our area. So, when I got home at 7:00 pm I did the best thing…
Wow! Ore-Ida Shared One of My Recipes
The other day I took a quick look at my stats and thought, “That can not possibly be correct!” My page views were 500% higher than normal. I looked a little deeper and saw that most of it was attributed to one post “Greek Totchos with Homemade Tzatziki.“(click for link to post) I wrote this…
Greek Ore-Ida Totchos with Homemade Tzatziki
*I received a free bag of Ore-Ida Tater Tots from @Influenster and @OreIda to create a recipe (#OreIdaTotchos #contest) and review the product for them. I received no other compensation for this article. All opinions and ideas are my own and should only be read as such. I have been on a mission to make…
Greek Spiced Grilled Pork Chops
Some days I am lucky I get food on the table for dinner. This was actually a well thought out meal but the lack of ambition was what was killing me. I was exhausted and wanted nothing to do with cooking. The lure of takeout or going to a restaurant were calling my name. But,…
Greek Chicken Kabobs with Cucumber Tomato Salad
This is the meal my kids wanted to have for dinner when they returned from camp. I had the chicken marinating in the refrigerator all ready to go when we got home but their concerts lasted far longer than we thought they would so we did not return home until late. The kids decided that drive-through…
Roasted Mediterranean Potatoes with Feta Cheese
I am always in need of quick, easy side dishes to go with our meals. Once the potatoes were diced and in the oven it was 35 minutes until they were ready to go on the table. It was nice that I could cook the rest of the meal and not have to fuss over…
Slow Cooker Chicken Gyros
My 200th post. I thought it would be something spectacular like boeuf bourguignon or something. Definitely not a chicken dish. But, it has been a long, strange journey for me and my family over the last 20 months. Moving twice in one year (don’t recommend it) threw a monkey wrench into everything, but despite two…
Marinated Feta over Greek Hamburgers
My family LOVES Greek flavors in food. Lots of oregano, parsley and garlic are in many of our dishes. One of their favorites is our version of Greek Hamburgers (recipe at bottom of page). When I saw a recipe on Pinterest for Marinated Feta I knew it would be a hit in our family. My…
Meatball Mediterranean Pitas
I love quick easy meals and this is one of them that my kids love. Pre-made frozen meatballs, small appetizer size, cooked according to package directions. After they are fully warmed I cut them in half to make them even easier to use. Naan Garlic bread slightly warmed. YUMMY! Diced tomatoes, onions and feta cheese…
Greek Cheeseburgers
My family loves the flavors of spinach, feta and garlic so I came up with my version of a “Greek” cheeseburger. They love these and it makes me feel good that I am serving them spinach they will eat. Ingredients: 1 1/2 lb. ground beef 2/3 cup of feta cheese 1 box of frozen…
