    Greek Pasta Salad

    I found this recipe for Greek Pasta Salad in a stack of old recipes I was gifted from my Grandma. When my grandmother moved into an assisted living home, my aunt, my uncle and my dad were tasked with selling her house. We were each asked if there was anything we'd like from grandma's home as a keepsake. I knew immediately, what my heart was set on. It was her handwritten recipe cards. And it is a gift I will forever treasure.

    Creamy Sweet Dill Coleslaw

    Spanakopita Inspired Grilled Cheese

    Creamy, gooey cheeses mixed with fresh spinach and dill are sandwiched between two golden fried slices of brioche bread in this spanakopita inspired grilled cheese. I have been thinking about this grilled cheese for months. A fan of spanakopita (greek pie) for years, I remember sitting in my auntie Cath's kitchen, assembly-line style, making those delicious phyllo packets. She sent me her greek pie recipe last year and I've been putting it off. Written in cryptic code, I'm a little intimidated to try it. It's an add-a-bit-of-this-and-some-of-that type recipe and frankly, I'm nervous. This recipe is a classic, hence my trepidation. They're…
