Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Muffins with Chocolate Chips

I like to bake for my family, and sometimes I try to make recipes that aren’t too dessert-like so they’re good snacks to enjoy during the school week. These Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Muffins with Chocolate Chips are one of these recipes. They aren’t made with any oil or butter, instead I use a protein-packed Greek yogurt for moisture and fat. Then I add in flavor with peanut butter and a little honey for sweetness. If you want more sweetness, you can add more honey or sugar!

Gingerbread Pancakes with Spiced Syrup

These delicious Gingerbread Pancakes with Holiday Spiced Syrup are exactly what you’re going to want on your table this season. They are as delicious as they sound, perfectly fluffy pancakes filled with gingerbread flavor and drizzled with warm, holiday spiced maple syrup! The key to making these is using fresh spices and making the batter from scratch. I don’t recommend adding spices to store bought pancake mix because you won’t quite get the flavors you want. Then, use the

Fresh Fig Jam

There's something magical about making fresh fig jam right in my own kitchen, especially when that kitchen is in my new home in Chios, Greece. This recipe for Classic Fig Jam is particularly special to me because the figs are picked straight from the tree in my backyard. It's a true taste of the Mediterranean summer, and I’m so excited to share it with you! Moving into my new house in Chios has been a dream come true, and one of the first things I did this summer was explore

Christmas Morning Quiche

Christmas morning is so exciting in our house. We love waking up and running downstairs to gather around the tree with each other and our extended family. As you’d expect, the energy of the season is bar none and I plan ahead when it comes to preparing food that will fuel us through every event. On Christmas morning I make this delicious quiche recipe. It comes together really easily and is the perfect protein-packed bite to enjoy while we unwrap our stockings. If you want to

Breakfast Corn Dog

Nikolas has a list of favorite foods and these Breakfast Corn Dogs are near the top! It’s so much fun to make them because he can help out. I always love getting my children into the kitchen with us, it helps them learn how to cook and appreciate eating together as a family. The jist of these corn dogs is fairly simple. They are breakfast sausages dipped in pancake batter and cooked to perfection. I keep the ingredients very easy when we make these. Pre-cooked breakfast sausa

Avocado Toast

There is nothing as awesome as a slice of Avocado Toast in the morning. I know it seems a little basic to share, but I swear, the way I make it is so good that it must be enjoyed this way at least once! Since this recipe contains very few ingredients it is key that these ingredients are of the highest quality. I always use the freshest bread I can find because that’s what will toast up nicely. Then, there’s the matter of getting the avocado as fresh and ripe as possible. I kn

Banana Blueberry Greek Yogurt Pancakes

The range of recipes I share with you represent the range of recipes I cook for my family. Obviously, most of what we cook has a Mediterranean origin, but I also cook plenty of classic American family foods. Banana & Blueberry Pancakes can be found in many cultures in different variations and we really like the thick, hearty American version. I make them with Greek yogurt for extra flavor and because it creates a denser texture. Plus, the yogurt adds a nice shot of protein to
