Traditional Greek Salad Recipe
I love a good traditional Greek salad recipe. In our home, a Greek salad is meal. Loaded with delicious vegetables and a scrumptious dressing with fresh herbs it is anything but boring. Showing my age here, back in the 90s, Greek salads were on most restaurants I frequented. Now, unless it is a Greek restaurant, […]
Shrimp Saganaki Santorini Style
Any time I make Shrimp Saganaki Santorini Style it brings me back to sailing on a catamaran in Greece! My Sweetheart and I were so lucky to take a five hour cruise around Oia in Santorini. On the boat, the crew prepared a decadent meal and my favorite dish was the Shrimp Saganaki Santorini Style. […]

It is fall, and it is the perfect time to make this mustard-glazed Chicken Thighs with Figs and Potatoes. In September, Florida is lucky enough to have a few weeks of fresh figs.

Crab Stuffed Portabella Mushroom Caps
Crab Stuffed Portabella Mushroom Caps is a new recipe for me. As a plant-leaning home chef, I love mushrooms and use them often. When I was a twenty-something, I would often serve button-mushrooms with a cheesy crab filling at a party I was hosting. A popular, and time-consuming, appetizer amongst my friends. Not really seeing […]
