Zucchini and feta tarte

Here's a simple, light and tasty tarte for summer dinners...

Summer time cooking!

Do you have a crave for a bbq?

Summer is the perfect time to indulge yourself with meat cooked over charcoal and everything that accompanies such a treat.

Approaching 15 of August that is a holiday in several places, I suggest the typical greek combination of souvlakia and tzatziki, and why not a greek salad that is an old-time classic.

Add some grilled vegetables like zucchini and eggplants that will not pass unnoticed for sure.

Kali oreksi! (aka enjoy your meal in greek :)

Tabbouleh, the healthy and so fresh salad!

I have recently discovered "Tabbouleh" salad and the whole family seems to appreciate a lot especially when temperatures rise a lot.
I did not have time to play much with recipes but I will share a photo of one of my first attempts and I will give you the general idea, as for salads you need to add your personal touch in my humble opinion ;)

Fruit salad, the best desert!

If you want to stay fit and eat healthy, if you are busy or lazy with cooking and do not want to try my delicious cakes, then the fruit salad is for you!
I use apples, pears, bananas and strawberries. You could add kiwis or any other fruit that you like. You just peel them, cut them pieces, present them in a nice way and your desert is ready in a few minutes.
If you want to add some exotic touch, pour some honey over them and sprinkle them with cinnamon. But we said that we will stay fit so simple today and then it's up to you for the rest. Enjoy!  

"Skordalia", the greek puree

Find today a different way to make a potato puree, the greek way :) that has (what else?) olive oil and plenty of garlic. Beware, no romantic evenings that day ;)

Tomato salads

Summer is approaching, so fresh salads like the ones with tomatoes are more and more in the menu. I will try to list here various versions to make a salad with tomatoes. This post will be updated from time to time... Today, get 2 versions:

1. The easy greek salad :) with tomatoes, cucumber, feta, salt, oregano, olive oil

2. The easy italian salad :) with tomatoes, mozzarella, salt, oregano, olive oil

Fresh green salad!

Fresh green salad!

Find today how to prepare an easy fresh green salad as a starter. My husband tried this combination, that makes this simple salad tasteful and I adopted it immediately! The small secret is the mustard with seeds that he uses combined with the lemon juice, so if you want the same strong taste, use the same type of mustard.
