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!

Making Peanut Butter Tzatziki was new for me this summer. My husband and I tried it at a local restaurant in Greece and liked it, so I wanted to give it a try. Admittedly, I don’t think I would have ever put these flavors together without someone else doing it first. It’s unusual to pair sweet peanut butter with savory cucumber and garlic. But you know what, it totally works! As it turns out this sweet and savory flavor combination is absolutely wonderful. I prepare it just

Okay, I’ll admit it — I have a soft spot for potato salad. But as much as I love the classic creamy version, I wanted something a little brighter, a little healthier, and with a lot more zing . That’s how this Greek Potato Salad with Yogurt & Dill was born — and it has quickly become a go-to side dish in my kitchen, especially as the weather warms up. This version skips the mayo entirely and leans into full-fat Greek yogurt instead, which gives it a tangy richness without fe

In recent years I’ve gotten more into high protein snacks. I like to serve them at my restaurants, patrons are always looking for a light meal or heavy appetizer that’s protein heavy, and I also make them at home. These Stuffed Avocados totally fit the bill and have become really popular lately. I find a perfectly ripe avocado and stuffed it with a protein heavy quinoa, chickpea, and yogurt mixture and it’s ready. No oven needed! The only tricky part of this recipe is findin

We love buffalo chicken in our house, but sometimes I like to give it a twist. I do this by first giving the chicken I grill a little bit of a Greek treatment with an easy marinade, then combining it with more Greek flavors in a big wrap, instead of traditional blue cheese. This is how I make our Greek Buffalo Chicken Wrap! This is the coolest sandwich because it really brings together so many good flavors and textures. I can’t tell you how much we all love this, especially

This is a great summer recipe I remember having as a child. It’s what I call our Greek Yogurt Strawberry Bar Dessert. It looks fancy but it is totally made at home and is great for making with kids. Once you get used to making this recipe, I encourage you to try it with different fruit flavors if you have something you’d like to try. I, for example, also like cherry or peach, depending on what’s available. To get this recipe right I encourage you to try these amazing cookies

Today I’m taking a classic French dish and giving it a Greek twist. Potatoes Au Gratin with Greek Yogurt & Feta is every bit as delicious as you imagine it to be. It contains all the hallmarks of the classic dish, thinly sliced potatoes, a wonderful béchamel sauce, chives and garlic, with a tangy dollop of Greek yogurt and feta thrown in. I think this casserole is great for any celebration. It’s deeply flavorful and I like to trot it out for occasions like Thanksgiving, Greek

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

I love making Deviled Eggs for gatherings because they are always a crowd pleaser. I have so many memories of my mother making them when I was growing up! They were ideal for all kinds of events and she would often take a tray to a friend’s house or Church event when she had to bring a dish to pass. These days we frequently make these when we’re catering - they’re requested a lot! Over the years I’ve added new twists to my recipe to give it a slightly more modern flair. The m

I’m sharing this very brief episode with you today so you can see how to make blue cheese dip with Greek yogurt. I prefer this method because I find Blue Cheese Dip better when it’s made with yogurt than lots of mayonnaise. For one thing, it is a lot tangier. It is also smoother and better for dipping. I make this a lot to serve with my Greek Chicken Wings ( https://youtu.be/zPYxPbLzUaI ) because it is the best to pair with crispy, juicy chicken. I also use it as a dip for v

Zucchini chips with garlic yogurt dips is just one of the many Greek dishes that feature zucchini!
