Creamy Jalapeno Hummus - A Spicy Treat Hummus, the creamy dip perfect with vegetables, bread, crackers, and more. We love hummus; however, never thought to actually make it ourselves. There is a debate as to whether or not this dish is Greek or Egyptian. According to the website The Spruce…
Moussaka - The Ultimate Comfort Food I've been wanting to see what Moussaka is all about since we began this journey back in 2017 and celebrated our appreciation of Greek Food that February. To me it looked like a Greek Shepherd's Pie, and with that you just couldn't go wrong.…
