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.

Spinach and Feta Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes
There's a little coffee shop in the city across the river from my hometown. The shop was owned by a family friend and was definitely the hot spot in town when it opened. We'd hang out there after school drinking their version of a frappucino. And on Saturdays, we'd head over the border to get Spinach and Feta Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes. It was the best way to start the weekend.

Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Olives (Two-Ingredients)
These Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Olives were my backup plan. I was sure the original recipe I had in my mind for today's post was going to be good, so I didn't bother really planning ahead. I was so sure in fact, that I created said recipe yesterday and then panicked when it didn't turn out the way I expected. It was good, but when I popped one of these olives into my mouth, I knew this one was the winner.

Feta & Tomato Salad with Toasted Nuts
I like to think of this as a winter salad because of the festive colours, or maybe because we've nicknamed it Snowball Salad, but really you could serve it any time of year. This tasty Feta & Tomato Salad with Toasted Nuts is a recipe that my auntie Ele made, literally just once, and I fell in love with it. I'm not a salad lover. To be honest, I don't make it often, but with all those impending resolutions creeping up, that may have to change. Snowball Salad will be making an appearance on our meal rotation.

Creamy Feta Party Dip with Bruschetta Topping
My girlfriend, Gabe, called me a few weeks back, and wanted a bit of advice on a dip she wanted to serve. She was going to serve bruschetta, but her bread always gets soggy, (it happens) so she wanted to flip the script, and change it into a dip. We brainstormed back and forth until we settled on a cream cheese base with tomato bruschetta on top. It didn't quite translate as well as we imagined. But with a bit more chit chat Creamy Feta Party Dip with Bruschetta Topping was born.

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…
