SPAMakopita

A twist on the classic spanakopita…SPAM instead of spinach! We made three different versions: Traditional, Hawaiian, and Spicy Pizza. They all turned out SO GOOD. I urge you to experiment with different fillings and varieties of SPAM to come up with your own signature SPAMakopita. The possibilities are endless!

SLOW ROASTED GREEK LAMB

I went back to my roots in Greece this past July at Rizes Farmstead in Mykonos. (Rizes literally means ROOTS in Greek!) This Slow Roasted Lamb recipe is one of the amazing recipes dad/farmer Nikos and his son Giannis shared with me. It’s a wonderful way to showcase simple, quality ingredients!

CREAMY CHICKEN, MUSHROOM, AND CAULIFLOWER MARSALA

A gluten-free and dairy-free version of an Italian classic - Chicken Marsala. We’ve subbed out the pasta for perfectly tender cauliflower and used plant-based butter and cream to keep it dairy-free. The mushroom sauce is creamy, earthy, and has just the right amount of sweetness thanks to the Marsala wine.

SMOKED HAM SPLIT PEA SOUP

This recipe brings me back to when my grandmother and mom made this yummy soup on a rainy night or even when we had a random cold Spring day. Coming home from school and smelling the soup on the stove was such a highlight of my childhood. My grandmother would use the ham bone from Easter and add a little extra of the sliced ham. My kid now loves it too!

PIRI PIRI CHICKEN

Piri Piri Chicken is a popular, Portuguese dish of butterflied, barbecued chicken. What distinguishes Piri Piri Chicken from other grilled chickens is the unique glaze it receives before going on the grill.

Piri piri is the common name for it in Portugal. However, internationally it is much more commonly known as peri peri chicken. Piri piri is believed to have derived from the Swahili Pilipili which means pepper.
