Roast Lamb in Garlic and Lemon SauceMy take on a traditional Greek dish. Wrap well if storing in the fridge! I usually add plenty of potatoes cut small about an hour before end of cooking time and serve with plain, boiled rice and a green salad. TIP: After grating the lemon rind and juicing the lemon, put the leftover lemon bits in a small bowl in the fridge - it… |

It normally is made with a mix of sheep and goat’s milk, but sometimes you can find a brand that has cow’s milk added. The texture is firm and the… |

Chicken with Yogurt and Cucumber SaladThis is a simple, quick and tasty dish that our whole family enjoyed. Perfect for a summer BBQ with friends or family! Tip: Keep pounded boneless chicken from sticking on the grill by making sure the cooking grate is super hot and spray the chicken with a non-stick oil (I used olive oil) instead of oiling the grate. Also, use a… |

Brown Rice Greek SaladThis recipe is my modified version of Martha Stewart's Brown Rice Salad. I made adjustments by adding oregano and feta and omitted her version which called for spinach and dill. Great way to use up left over rice. We enjoy it served alongside Grilled Chicken Souvlaki skewers. |

Whole Grain Pita BreadOut of pita bread one day and too lazy to go shop, I decided to haul out the bread machine and make pita bread dough. The recipe is whole grain, but not 100%. Still it's a notch up nutritionally from regular white pita bread. Makes 1 1/2 pounds, or ten pita breads. One serving is half of a pocket bread so theoretically the recipe… |

This cucumber salad is one of the most popular Greek vegetarian appetizer recipes with plenty of local variations. It is refreshing, tasty and very easy to make.
