I love a great lasagna but can take a while to assemble and bake. I really like this Lasagna Soup because it takes exactly like lasagna but is much less time-consuming to make. It’s also nice because I can keep it in the fridge for the kids to enjoy and heat up whenever they want it for lunch or a snack. This is much more convenient than a whole casserole of leftover lasagna, I think.  This premise of this soup is that the beef or meat of your choice is cooked and served in a

This was a really fun one to film because it put me in the Christmas spirit. This Christmas Lasagna gets its name from the red, white, and green layers. I love it when the dish color coordinates with the holiday! I like to make lasagna during the holidays because it feeds a crowd and can be prepared ahead of time. It also is one of those rare dishes that pleases my whole family. My kids aren't terribly picky eaters, but everyone gets a little particular here and there and it'

I’ve made Pastitsio before for this show. It’s probably one of the most popular Greek dishes in the world and we eat it frequently, so I made it fairly early on in filming . I still direct people to the recipe on my website a lot because they want to know how to make it! For today’s episode I did a little riff on the classic recipe and made Pastitsio Croquettes. They’re made with the traditional method but breaded and fried into delicious balls that are fun for everyone.  The

I’ve written about many different burger recipes on this website because there are so many good ways to make them. Today I’m sharing the Avocado Bacon Ranch Burger recipe because it’s wrapped in lettuce and is a great burger when you want a lot of flavor, with a healthier twist. The lettuce wrap can serve two purposes, first is a reduction in calories, and the second is that it’s gluten-free. Sometimes I like to skip the bun on my burger because it’s too filling, and the lett

We spend a lot of time in the backyard in the summer. Having friends over to grill and enjoy the pool is one of our favorite ways to entertain. This means we grill a lot of burgers and this Fig Jam & Goat Cheese Burger is one of our favorite recipes. I came to this recipe when I was trying to think of a new riff on a regular cheeseburger. Sometimes we all want a little change without having to get overly complicated.  This burger begins with a regular beef patty, then it’s la

This is one of those recipes that gets interesting responses when I bring it up to people. Stuffed Cabbage is not always high on everyone’s list because one of the main ingredients is, well, cabbage. It’s understandable that it’s not a hugely popular vegetable in most households. Most of us like it shredded on top of tacos or scattered into bowl-style meals. But I think this recipe might change your mind about making cabbage a little more mainstream so please watch the video

I had to make this classic recipe for the show this winter. Shepard’s Pie is a very popular recipe the world over for good reason. It’s comforting, hearty, and is made with easy-to-find ingredients available in almost every single country. In Greece we make this a lot with lamb since it’s so readily available. However, you can easily make it with beef if that’s more accessible for you. I recommend trying it with each meat at least once so you can decide what your family likes
